App Store Release Notes

Hello and welcome to the release notes of the 2024.03-version of Mastodon for iOS. We're working hard to fix the bugs we introduced a few versions earlier and so this release mostly contains bug fixes and improvements. And without further ado it's an honor to present the release notes:

• Have you checked out the new settings-area yet? We added some more options there. For example you can set the default language for posts there or activate if you want to be asked before unfollowing someone. (IOS-166)
• Pardon my french: We fixed a bug for french-speaking users. If you wanted to compose a long post, the app crashed when it was too long. Thanks to you for reporting it and thanks to us for fixing it. Great teamwork! (GH-1255)
• We switched the tabs on the notification-screen so that it matches the other Mastodon-apps. (IOS-240)
• When you wanted to reply to a status, your handle showed up twice. Sure, your name is really nice, but once is enough (GH-1254)
• We fixed the cursor-color for the input for image descriptions. Now it sparks more joy to write image descriptions. This is a subtle hint: WRITE IMAGE DESCRIPTIONS!. (GH-1253)
• The app has its own User-Agent now. It also constains the version number. (GH-1098)
• We removed the Community-tab from the Explore-tab. It was kind of hidden but don't worry: It'll come back soon, stay tuned! (IOS-236)
• We fixed a bug (twice!) that didn't let you edit your profile. Now you can change your handle and your bio again and upload a nice avatar. Sometimes you need more than one shot. (GH-1244, IOS-239, GH-1259)
• We cleaned up some dust in the project. This won't affect your daily use. Promise! (GH-1248, GH-1247, GH-1252)

That's it! We're steadily working on improving the app, adding new features (and the community-tab!) and fixing nasty bugs. And, as always, this wouldn't be possible without you! And you are also the reason why we keep making things better: It's some awesome and wholesome to see all you people actually use Mastodon. So: Keep using it, please!
