What's Changed

Hello everyone, We are thrilled to announce v3 of Cinny with exciting features like Rich Input Editor (aka WYSIWYG editor), even faster timeline with new features and improved People drawer.

Rich Input Editor

Message input has been completely rewritten to support rich text. It has now all the rich text buttons and key shortcuts for them as well.
The new input also supports inline markdown. Also, it no longer supports LATEX rendering or sending.
Input also support multiple file upload at one time now. Also, Emojiboard got refreshed look and combines both Emojis and Stickers and also include Sticker search.

Refreshed Timeline

Timeline is rewritten as part of our effort in moving the codebase to TypeScript and implementing the design system. As a result timeline scroll is 5x faster than before. It render almost all kinds of events now and has options to open various type of files right into the app itself, notably the pdf viewer.

People drawer

The side drawer listing people also has new features like sorting the members by Join/Left/Banned/Kicked etc as well as sorting the same alphabetically or date wise.
