ReadYou

0.9.12

1. Support Google Reader API and FreshRSS API (#536, @Ashinch)
2. Use forward and backward transition animation (#540, @JunkFood02)
3. Provide option to exclude additional information when exporting to OPML file (#567, @Ashinch)
4. Provide option to gray out starred article items (#547, @MauroGuida)
5. Fix "swipe to mark as read article" (#520, @aeghn)
6. Fix empty group not round bottom corner issue (#529, @kid1412621)
7. Fix refresh view after sync (#531, @kid1412621)
8. Fix error caused by missing article title (#532, @kid1412621)
9. Fix orphaned articles during sync in Fever API (#534, @Ashinch)
10. Many UI improvements and bug fixes (@Ashinch, @JunkFood02)
11. Translations updates (thanks to everyone who helped out)

Notes

1. Thanks to the FreshRSS community, especially @Alkarex, for their help with this project.
2. ReadYou is currently not fully compatible with Inoreader through the Google Reader API.
3. ReadYou is currently unable to specify a new group when adding a subscription through the Google Reader API.
4. When syncing with Google Reader API, ReadYou can fetch up to 10k articles per sync. For read articles, only those within the past month will be synced, while unread and starred articles will be fully synced. The sync speed primarily depends on the number of these articles. The initial sync may take some time, depends on the amount of data difference between the local and server. If you have a large number of feeds, it may still feel slow, I can try to optimize this if needed.
5. We recommend that users who have participated in the testing re-sync or re-add their Google Reader API account after installing version 0.9.12.
6. Let's look forward to more improvements in detail in the next version.

Notes

It's been quite a week for Read You! This release fixes up most of the rest of the major bugs from release 0.9.9, plus one that's been around for a long while.

My hope is that this will be a solid longer-term build, and we can take a break from releases for a bit while we wait for new improvements to cook from our wonderful community. As always, if you encounter a bug, please report it on Github!

Since some of you may have missed the big changes in 0.9.9, I'll include them again below.

0.9.9

1. Fever API now properly syncs read/starred metadata across devices (#401) (#406) (@mbestavros)

2. Add prompt for notification permission when relevant (#422) (@RafhaanShah)

3. New feature: Swipe to mark read (#455) (@boun, @nvllz)

4. New option: External link handling (#428) (@S-H-Y-A)

5. Fetch favicons for feed items (#471) (@Ashinch, @kid1412621)

6. Various internal refactorings and improvements (@Ashinch)

7. Translations updates: Hungarian, Turkish, Serbian, German, Indonesian, Persian, and many others (thanks to everyone who helped out!)

Notes

1. If you encounter synchronization and favicon issues, please try the ReadYou-0.9.10-5d1bdfb.apk file

0.9.9

2. Add prompt for notification permission when relevant (#422) (@RafhaanShah)

3. New feature: Swipe to mark read (#455) (@boun, @nvllz)

Notes

1. @Ashinch has appointed both @mbestavros and @JunkFood02 as additional Collaborators on Github:

"When I don't have enough free time, I deeply appreciate everyone coming together to contribute to this project. @mbestavros and @JunkFood02 will be added to the list of collaborators for the project, granting you some permissions to manage the project's release plans."

(Source: https://github.com/Ashinch/ReadYou/issues/495#issuecomment-1880344011)

To be absolutely clear: this does not mean that @Ashinch is stepping down from the project! It just means there are more people available to help create new releases. This will help a ton when @Ashinch is busy, and should reduce the time to ship code once it's been merged on Github.

2. On that note: the 0.9.9 release is managed by @mbestavros! I love @Ashinch's work with ReadYou, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help out with release management.

Fever is an outdated API, which is not fully compatible with modern readers.
But as the first third-party service API supported by Read You, it's a good opportunity to get started.

There will be a supplemental update in the near future for bug fixes and additional translations.

All other feature requests are postponed.

4. Add share article feature.

5. Add article thumbnail previews (#67, only valid for articles newly synced since this release).

6. Other detail changes.

Notes

1. This version is a little laggy, found a lot of problems, the next version will optimize and reformate the code.

2. It takes three months before you can start contributing translations (Weblate's requirement for open source projects).

2. Add dark theme settings.

3. Add AMOLED dark theme.

4. Add clear articles feature for feeds and groups.

5. For Android 12+ devices, now replace the first palette of wallpaper colors with the system provided color scheme.

2. Add update check and download.

3. Select dynamic color theme by default on first install (if available).

4. Add swipe down sync feature to the information flow page.

8. Fix the system navigation bar background.

9. Fix the issue of not intercepting the back event when the option menu is opened.

10. Optimize some video styles in the reading page.

11. Optimize some abnormal styles.

Notes

1. Check for updates once automatically every time when cold start (you can experience it when the next version is released).

2. When checking for updates, use the Gitee API when Simplified Chinese languages and the GitHub API when other languages.

3. Please don't check for updates manually too often (a cooling interval of 2 seconds has been set), as the same IP can only access the GitHub API 60 times per hour, and the exact frequency limit of the Gitee API is unknown (it hasn't been reset for 8 hours yet).

4. Refactoring of reading page came after v0.8, and refactoring of icon and cover came after v0.9, and support for FreshRSS (Fever API, Google Reader API) came after v1.0.

0.7.2

1. New dynamic color system (requires Android 8.1+, the number of dynamic colors depends on the richness of the current wallpaper colors, usually 1 ~ 3).

2. The color value of the accent color can now also be customized (the entry is in the last swatch of the basic color, it should be noted that the custom color is only for reference, the specific color, the color picking algorithm will automatically select the appropriate Monet color value)

3. Unimplemented features are now marked in gray to reduce confusion.

4. Fix the problem of confusing information flow time sorting when the filtering condition is subscription source.

5. Improve icon size of notification.

6. Now duplicate articles will not be synced (duplicate means the original page link is the same).

Notes:

1. The first time you switch colors after installation, it may jump back to the home page, so we will fix it in the next version.

2. The next version is mainly the "About" page and the built-in new version check.

3. The reading page will be separated from the sliding group and become a separate page.
