Feditext beta users: version 1.7.2 build 137, now on TestFlight, fixes the crash on iPads running iPadOS 18 that made most iPad Feditext users, well, unable to use Feditext.

Feditext beta users: version 1.7.2 (build 139) adds persistent display filters for home/local/federated timelines (upper right corner button). when you hide boosts or replies, they will now stay hidden when you navigate to other timelines or relaunch the app. it also fixes the accessibility label for the filter button.
in other news, our lead dev Vyr is looking for a new, less stressful day job. please wish her well.
Feditext beta users: version 1.7.2 (build 140) fixes a JSON decoding issue with Mastodon 4.4 / 4.5 instances that caused error messages when quoted posts are viewed or on a timeline.
this doesn't change how Feditext displays quotes; as with other instance types that already support quote posts, Mastodon quoted posts will be displayed as special links. tapping them will display the whole post. full quote post support is pending.
Feditext beta users: version 1.7.2 (build 142) fixes the autocomplete bug in the post composer on iOS 18+ (iOS 15–17 are not affected).
it also switches to an account-specific search API method for looking up accounts based on username and display name only. for Mastodon users, this may result in slightly faster autocomplete lookups and fewer false positives. GTS users should not see a difference. please report any issues with other servers.
Feditext beta users: version 1.7.2 (build 141) has no user-facing features.
Vyr is currently working on the username/emoji autocomplete list bug: https://github.com/feditext/feditext/issues/451
today we're opening up the beta to more users. here's what we need from you:
enable Share With App Developers under iOS Settings, Privacy & Security, Analytics & Improvements so we get crash dumps.
file bugs at https://github.com/feditext/feditext/issues so current and future contributors can read them. DO NOT @ US HERE.
if you get an error with a Copy JSON button, tap it and paste the results into the bug report. that will give us details we don't get otherwise.
ok quote posts work ship it
simplifying assumption: every post quotes the same post, by me, except for that exact post, which doesn't quote anything
Feditext beta users: today's version 1.7.2 build 130 adds support for push notifications from GoToSocial instances.
you will need to be running a development version of GTS 0.18 with this patch applied <https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/pull/3762>, or wait for the *next* release candidate (0.18.0rc1 doesn't have it) or the 0.18.0 release proper.
users of other instance servers don't need to update.
Feditext beta users: the TestFlight build expired this morning. i'll push a fresh one ASAP but i'm at work so it might be an hour or two.
