It’s finally time again for a new Desktop Release, help us find the most annoying bugs so we can make sure that this update is ready to be released on the website and in the stores.
This release in contains many bugfixes and an all new messagelist that now supports jumping to a specific message.
What to test?
Windows builds are now signed!
New account
Export Backup
Normal usage
Zoom in Gallery
Jump to message from search
MessageList (the area where you scroll though the messages of a chat)
Download message on demand (set download limit in settings, then recieve a big file and click on download)
We have a report from a window user that is unable to start this version, it shows the error message: “The DeltaChat Module couldn’t be loaded”.
We don’t know yet how to reproduce it so if you can test on windows please do.
iOS updates come over the app store or testflight (see https://download.delta.chat ) for notifications, there are some open issues, indeed, it does not work as good as it could, however, at least, “Connectivity View” shows some more details about things not working since 1.28
When deltachat fetches the new messages from the server the ui was unresponsive/frozen for a few seconds, we fixed debouncing reducing the function calls on an expensive function from 669 to 27 (in my test setting).
Is it better now?
Also try logging in into the forum with deltachat desktop (if DC can open the link that enough you don’t have to do more than clicking on the manual-link button and check if DC asks you to join the login-bot group)
the Persian translation is completed in Transifex but there are some untranslated strings in the app(.deb 1.27.1).
I can pull the translations again maybe they are not complete when I last pulled them.
Otherwise what are the strings that are not translated? maybe there are still some that are not even registered in transifex yet.
