Welcome to the last major release of the year. I will be taking a break from all software development until next year.

This release brings some more user requested features and general improvements to the app.

This was supposed to be the release that added local event tracking but I didn't end up having enough time to finish it. So instead of holding up the release I am releasing with local event tracking turned off. There will be more information about this once local tracking is ready. tl;dr is a lot of user requested features require local event tracking.

Full changelog

  • Add new FAB quick action - refresh posts.
  • Add listing type search filters (eg. filter by local, moderator view, subscribed).
  • Add feature to scroll post feed with volume rocker. Can be enabled in settings (Post feed). Default off.
  • Add setting to turn off saving recent communities.
  • Switch to use a different default user agent so the Summit client doesn't look like a bot. This should fix network issues. If you encounter any new network errors after the release, please ping me!
  • Improve performance of hide read by using API to hide some read posts.

Update

I made a mistake and didn't switch to using the new user-agent everywhere. Will fix this in a patch release (v1.74.1).

  • Use the new user-agent everywhere.

Another updates on this. This image file is really weird. I downloaded the image and tried using a few other apps to few the image and non of them could load the file. I'm not sure if this is a bug with Summit or the file at this point since I downloaded the file using my browser and not Summit. Chrome was able to show the image but nothing else. I will dig deeper later today.

Update: the image loads on desktop. It looks like the built in AVIF decoder on Android doesn't support the set of features used in this image. This is problematic because a standalone AVIF decoder is larger than the size of the app so the app size would double if I were to use a standalone AVIF decoder. Hopefully this can be fixed on the server side so I wont have to greatly increase the app size.

Thanks for the update! I agree, this sounds like a server problem then.
