Significant bug fixes #
Use the correct post visibility when replying #
Julie Moynat reported (#2264) that when replying Pachli was not respecting the user’s default post privacy.
The intent is the privacy of the reply should be the more private of:
- The privacy setting of the post being replied to
- Your default post privacy setting
Pachli 3.6.0 inadvertently changed this behaviour to use just the privacy setting of the post being replied to. For example, if your default post privacy setting was “followers only” and you replied to a public post your reply’s privacy setting defaulted to “public”, instead of the correct “followers only”.
Fixed in #2275, with additional tests to ensure this does not regress.
Fix issue preventing deleting drafts and scheduled posts #
Luchuco Cadáver reported a problem deleting drafts. Fixed in #2269, along with the same problem which could have caused problems deleting scheduled posts.
Displaying posts #
Blockquotes and lists #
A “blockquote” is when someone uses the
blockquoteHTML element in their post, not the “quote posts” feature. Normal Mastodon servers do not allow users to do this, but other servers on the Fediverse do. This text is an example of a blockquote.
Julie Moynat and Balthasa Reuter reported (#2265) display problems when a blockquote contained a list or the text in the quote was hyphenated.
Displays mentions as links when the mention URL doesn’t match #
Mauricio Teixeira and Ozoned reported a problem where some @-mentions in some posts weren’t linked / clickable.
This is a server bug (affecting at least snac2 and Bonfire) where @-mentions in the text are not associated with the correct link. In these cases Pachli was removing the link.
Pachli now keeps the link (#2263), so you can tap on the account name. This will open the account in your browser, which matches the behaviour of the Mastodon web UI.
Markdown rendering #
If you use the Render Markdown experimental feature the rendering has been improved and some regressions have been fixed.
- LaTeX equations are shown again (#2267)
- Blockquotes are displayed similarly to when the “Render Markdown” option is off (#2276)
preandcodeelements in the post are displayed correctly (#2276)
