v1.15.0

New features

Hashtag autocomplete

The server JavaScript code is no longer minified, as it's kind of pointless since it's never sent to the client.

fix: disable minification on server build #1563

pinafore - v1.14.0

Published by nolanlawson about 5 years ago

v1.14.0

New features

New keyboard shortcuts

You can now press the left/right keys to change columns. In the hotkey settings, you can also make it so that the left/right keys tab through the focusable elements instead (similar to Tab and Ctrl-Tab).

Also, you can now press "7" to bring up the "compose toot" modal dialog anywhere in the app. (It's 7 because 1-6 are mapped to the nav bar buttons.)

feat: press "7" to open compose modal #1507
feat: left/right keys can change columns or focus #1516

Bugfixes and improvements

iOS improvements

There have been a lot of iOS bugfixes in this release, especially related to the recent release of iOS 13.

In particular, videos should now work consistently, and you should be able to upload images, videos, or audio files on either iOS 12 or 13.

Special thanks to @sgenoud for help with the video fix!

fix: Return a synthetic response for range requests #1555

Extract text from images

Inspired by an upcoming Mastodon feature, Pinafore can now use tesseract.js to generate a description (alt text) for an image. Click the image edit (pencil) button to either edit the description, edit the focal point, or generate text from the image.

This can also be considered an accessibility feature, because now it's easier than ever to add alt text to an image!

Don't over-fetch

Pinafore no longer eagerly fetches the custom emoji and lists from an instance whenever the page is loaded.

perf: fetch lists from database on page load #1450
refactor(store/observers/instance): Don't fetch lists eagerly #1448

Handle revoked tokens

If you revoke a token for Pinafore in the Mastodon UI, then Pinafore should now handle that gracefully and log you out.

fix(actions/instances): Clear data when token revoked #1446

Better toot compose box input responsiveness

Responsiveness in the toot compose box should be slightly improved.

perf: be more consistent about compose input scheduling #1414
