Your feed now keeps up with the conversation in real time — a tappable pill appears when new posts arrive, so you never have to guess when to refresh. Search gains a "Ditto users only" filter, articles show a reading-time estimate and render as tidy preview cards in the feed, and editing your published articles is smoother than ever. Posts can now embed content-addressed images, video, and audio that stay reachable even if a server goes down. Plus a big speed-up to app startup and a batch of fixes.
