✨ New
- Read receipts glide: when a read avatar moves from one message to the next, it now slides across instead of jumping, when motion is allowed.
🐛 Fixed
- Mic restarts during lossy voice calls: in unencrypted calls, audio redundancy no longer switches back off once the connection recovers. Turning it off restarted your mic stream, which briefly cut your voice for everyone else; it now stays on for the rest of the call after it first comes on. Encrypted calls still turn it off when the link is clean, since that costs nothing.
- Rejoining a call after a reload: reloading the page used to leave this device in the call room until the membership expired, so the reloaded page thought it was already in the call. Reloading or closing the window now leaves properly.
- Favourite GIFs: picking one now sends it as an actual image instead of a dead link. Favourites saved on another homeserver, from an old account or imported data, are fetched correctly too.
- Duplicate notifications on the iOS Home Screen app: each message could show two notifications. It now shows one.
- Encryption setup offered on an account that already has it: for a few seconds after switching accounts, Zam offered to set up encryption because the first sync had not finished. It now waits.
- MIDI playhead stopping short: the playhead now reaches the end of the file when playback finishes.
- Zoomed SVG images: zooming an SVG now redraws it sharp instead of enlarging a blurry bitmap, you can zoom out below the fitted size, and clicking empty space closes the viewer.
- Video stopping when made fullscreen: a video no longer pauses or unloads the moment it goes fullscreen.
