Hello everyone,
Before Christmas break, the folks over at Tweesecake released version 0.17.1 of the software. There are a lot of items here, so here’s what has been ixed since 0.17.0 some time ago.
- Core: Now it is possible to boost the volume of playing media (Mastodon attachments, voice messages/audio attachments on Telegram, local files played in file explorer, radio, etc) to above 100%. If you stop playback and start playback of a new item, in the name of hearing safety, the volume will be reset back to 100%. Your volume will not be touched if you have it at or below 100%.
- Config: Remove send longer items to screen reader option on Mac, as we already do this so we don’t need to do it twice.
- Config: Removes speak through NSSS option on Mac. It never worked and NSSS is depricated.
- Feeds: Persist open feeds across restarts.
- Mastodon: More robust clearing of items on startup. This fixes several long standing bugs with the clear posts at startup option, where for example notifications would show as no status, or mentions and messages wouldn’t read.
- Mastodon: Remove the conversation updated message from conversation buffers.
- Mastodon: Persist spoiler text in thread mode.
- Mastodon: Add two new options to hide boosts and replies from home timeline. Note that due to the nature of this feature, any boosts and replies added to the buffer while this feature is disabled will not be removed. It will only apply to new items only. Likewise, if new boosts and replies are filtered by this feature, the only way to get them to be added is to clear the database.
- Mastodon: Add option to remove emojis from post text.
- Mastodon: Fix duplicated playable media in boosted posts.
- Mastodon: Fixes interacting with boosted posts.
- Mastodon: Focus the read only edit field on Mac OS. li> Mastodon: Update open on web function to work in more instances.
- Mastodon: View post and view post summary now open the original post if it’s a boost. This fixes media with descriptions not viewing in the view dialog.
- Mastodon: Change hide/show boosts keys on mac from command H/command shift H to option H/Option shift H.
- Radio: Make the play random station hotkey not stop the previously playing station before switching to a new one.
I hope that this finds you well. Tweesecake prompts you to that it has an available update and instructions on updating it. I believe I got the notification, but never updated it. I am running 0.17, as I just checked. I believe it was on the 22nd that this came out and I was pingged about the update. Thanks for reading!
