ZapFast 0.16.2 makes videos play their sound, shows Arabic-Indic numbers the right way round, and lets you read a chat's whole last message from the chat list. It also fixes selecting several messages with Ctrl-click and Shift-click, and picks up a fix in whatsapp-rust for connections that stall after sleep.

New
- Read the last message from the chat list. Resting the pointer on a chat's preview shows the whole message when the preview is cut short, with the sender's name in groups, emoji, and right-to-left text. By @crmne; thanks @edesiogab for the idea. (#188)
Fixed
- Videos play their sound. A video with a sound track went quiet after a tenth of a second, so video messages seemed silent. By @fabiomotta0311. (#186)
- Arabic-Indic numbers read the right way round. A message like "٤٥" on its own showed as "٥٤", in the bubble, the chat list, quotes and the composer. By @crmne; thanks @oovaa. (#184)
- Ctrl-click and Shift-click select messages. Clicks on a message never added it to the selection, and Esc during a selection closed the whole chat instead of cancelling it. By @crmne.
- Stalled connections are noticed sooner. The whatsapp-rust fix for a connection that stops delivering after sleep (oxidezap/whatsapp-rust#1547) is now included, alongside 0.16.1's reconnect after sleep. By @crmne. (#177)
Thanks
@fabiomotta0311, @oovaa, @edesiogab, @LisandroNahuelH for a test that pins the "left group" column on older archives (#182), the whatsapp-rust maintainers for reviewing and merging the connection fix, and everyone reporting problems as they find them.
