Summit

I'm excited to announce that v1.81.0 of the app is finally ready to be released. This update refreshes the look of the default user experience hopefully for the better.

You can see a screenshot of this new default user experience here:

To make the new user experience possible, three new features have been added to Summit:

1. A new post feed header style named "Compact". This is meant to give the user slightly more information about the community they are browsing without taking up too much of the screen. This will be on by default going forwards. (You can turn off post headers in Settings > Post Feed. You can also revert the style to the previous design.)
2. A new post header style named "Compact". This makes the header on each post prefer a single line instead of two lines, making posts more compact and reducing some redundant information. The post header style can be adjusted on a per-post style basis. In this release only the new List and Compact style will use the "Compact" header style by default.
3. A new post style named "List" (the old "List" style is now named "List (old)"). This style is designed to be much more compact than the previous List style, trying to be a good compromise between the old List style and Compact. This post style is now the default.

As usual, all of these changes can be reverted via settings.
