Added
- Pinned messages (#6802)
- Message multiselect: "Resend" and "Export Attachments"
- Language setting: new "System default" option
Changed
- Linux: accessing the camera through PipeWire is now opt-in via the
--pipewire-cameraflag, as it made the camera hang on some systems. Use the flag if your camera only works through PipeWire, e.g. on Mobian (#6859) - Channels: the owner now only sees the total number of reactions, not who reacted with what (#6870)
- Chats can now be pinned directly from the archive
- Clicking anywhere on a message's row now works, not just on the message bubble
- Message multiselect: hide the message hover menu
- Avoid "Log In" wording, in line with Android and iOS (#6820)
- Consistent "Delta Chat" spelling in window titles, the tray menu and other places
Fixed
- Camera (QR scanner, calls) not working after opening the "Help" window
- Screen readers now announce the correct number of items in long lists
- Apps (WebXDC) can no longer open the "Open Link?" dialog or other Delta Chat dialogs while Delta Chat is not focused
- "Help" window: escape translated strings (hardening, not exploitable with current translations)
Removed
- Hashtags are no longer turned into links that start a search (#6850)
Miscellaneous Tasks
- Upgrade Electron to 43.8
- Upgrade core to 2.65.0,
notable changes:- Read receipts are no longer requested or sent for unencrypted messages
- Animated WebP images are no longer converted to JPEG
- Reactions no longer flood channel summaries
- Lower memory usage when sending large attachments on Linux
