This release contains the first batch of changes from this year's GSoC students, among other contributors - we're keen to get this out and let you have the improvements available!

SECURITY NOTICE

This release fixes two security issues, so we strongly recommend upgrading immediately.

Note that notifications while running in WSL are temporarily removed in this release due to this.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Links in messages are now shown more clearly with numeric references, with URLs as optional footnotes ('footlinks') and in the message information popup (#703/#618/#735)
  • Typeahead/autocomplete suggestions are now shown dynamically in the footer (#540)
  • The previous stream description popup can now be used to adjust stream properties (muting, pinning) (#695)
  • An About popup was added to check application and server versions while running (#653/#616)
  • Stream search and typeahead suggestions are ordered consistently, based on pinning and word sorting (#530)
  • Messages from the server due to user-triggered interactions that fail are reported in the footer (#714/#427)
  • Popup notifications for streams respect the desktop-notifications setting (#669)

Interactivity improvements

  • Messages are not marked as read while browsing through messages resulting from a search (#624/#723)
  • On searching with no search text, exit search and focus on the list below (don't perform an empty search) (#551)
  • Require esc to exit message compose box - avoiding loss of draft upon clicking elsewhere (#720/#652)
  • Autocomplete now triggers correctly with leading text (including parentheses), eg (#str (#542)

Visual improvements

  • Pinned and unpinned streams are shown with a separator while searching (#577)
  • Message reactions are shown clearer in the message information popup (#659)
  • Links within messages are listed in the message information popup, above reactions (#708)

Important bugfixes

  • Fixed crash on startup, related to looking up unsubscribed streams with unread counts (#694/#706)
  • Fixed crash when trying to send private message from user list (#677)
  • Fix security issue due to limited quote escaping in notifications
  • Fix security issue when running in profiling mode (fixed filename in /tmp)
  • Upgraded dependencies, leading to fix for color support in mosh & urxvt (via urwid 2.1.1)
  • Ensure recipient headers are shown in narrow message view (#671/#672)
  • Unread counts and message updating continue to be improved (#711/#697/#696)

Infrastructure improvements

  • Known working terminal emulators added to FAQ.md - moved from README into docs/ (#689)
