- Update to 0.0.9.4
The full lists of (closed issues and commits) are quite long but
here are the key additions and changes:
- Feature (#187): native scrollbars can be used instead of
shuttle dials.
- Feature (#32, #209): attachments support; an image or other
file can be posted to a room, with automatic media type
detection.
- Feature (#507): basics of internal navigation
(still limited, the work is ongoing):
- rooms (only those in your room list for now) can be opened
using "Open room" dialog (Ctrl-O) - by their id, alias or
matrix.to URL;
- direct chats can be opened by entering the user ID or the
matrix.to URL into the same dialog;
- moreover, middle-clicking on a user id/matrix.to link in
the timeline also opens a direct chat;
- navigating to event permalinks is not there yet, pending
support in libQMatrixClient (give your votes in
QMatrixClient/libqmatrixclient#252).
- Feature (#437): user list can be searched and filtered
- Feature: support for room versions: room version can be chosen
when creating a room (not a direct chat though; will be fixed
in 0.0.9.5) and is displayed and can be upgraded in the
settings room.
- Feature (#484): Quaternion can use Qt Keychain now to securely
store access tokens (thanks to @ddanilov). Although this works
on Windows as well, the Windows binaries available from here
don't have it yet.
- Feature (#123): Timeline can be scrolled using
Ctrl-PageUp/PageDown and (if directly focused) Up and Down keys.
This is a tentative implementation that may work in some edge
cases; 0.0.9.5 may bring something more robust.
- Feature (#277): horizontal scrolling for messages with wide
preformatted parts.
- Feature (#403 and #476): Quaternion can close to tray and also
start minimised to tray (thanks to @ddanilov and @krkk).
- Feature (#509/#535): Configurable message quoting (plain text
only) is implemented. Replies and rich-text quoting are left
for a later version.
- Feature (#455): if the server supports it, room members are
lazy-loaded; this should greatly improve initial sync times
while otherwise being almost invisible for end users.
- Enhancement (#445): local echo can be suppressed
(UI/suppress_local_echo in config).
- Enhancement (#451): more actions in right-click menus for the
room list and the user list (thanks to @krkk).
- Enhancement (#381): middle-click on a room name in the room
list opens this room; middle-click on a user name in the user
list opens a direct chat with the user.
- Enhancement (#448, #483): timeline scrolling is more responsive.
- Enhancement (#246): when typing a very long message,
the message input only increases its height up to a limit,
and scrolls after that.
- Enhancement (#338): similarly, longer multiline topics no more
strut the room header to no limit.
- Enhancement (#505): Quaternion now warns about attempts to
login twice into the same account (thanks to @krkk).
- Enhancement (#491, #471/#478): room creation events and
withdrawn invitations (thanks to @krkk) are correctly displayed
in the timeline; also unknown state events got a clearer
timeline description (even if a bit techy as it uses the state
event type and key verbatim).
- Enhancement (#558): better validation of room/user ids in
/commands.
- Enhancement (#500): no more scary "unencrypted" word in the
message placeholder text - the used protocol (HTTP or HTTPS)
is mentioned instead.
- Enhancement (#555): /shrug gained an optional text argument.
- Enhancement: instead of an error message with no clear way out
expired tokens now lead to a handy re-login dialog.
- Enhancement: the room settings dialog now shows room id.
- Enhancement: Ctrl-Q to quit also works on Windows.
- Bugfix (#546): HTML in author display names is properly
escaped.
- Bugfix (#566): fixed crashing upon logout.
- Bugfix (#524): fixed crashing after changing the tag order.
- Bugfix (#532): the login dialog is now prefilled with the
first not-logged-in account, rather than an arbitrary account.
- Bugfix (#559): fixed not remembering the bottommost timeline
position after clicking the "Scroll to bottom" button.
- Bugfix (#564): In the "Add tags" dialog, the Tab key now
switches focus instead of entering a Tab character.
- Bugfix (#486/#488): more accurate logic for user name
highlighting (thanks to @redsky17).
- Bugfix (#511): ban reason is displayed in the timeline now.
- Bugfix (#542): the to-be-created alias is displayed correctly
in the room creation dialog (the actually created alias has
always been correct).
- Bugfix (#499): expanded/collapsed state of room groups is
correctly remembered and restored.
- Bugfix (#492): tab order in the login dialog is reasonable
now.
- Bugfix (#490): window title and room caption get updated
when the room is renamed etc. now.
- Bugfix: no more visual glitches when animation duration is
configured to 0.
- General bug fixing and performance tweaking.
- Lots of work on i18n and l10n
- Update to 0.0.9.4-rc3
- (#573) Resend and Discard buttons work again
- (#566) A crash upon logout has been fixed
- (#577) A confirmation to continue use an unstable version is
only displayed now to those who can upgrade rooms
- Zeroing the animations duration no more leads to artifacts from
incomplete animations
- (#532) Expired access tokens are now processed gracefully,
with a prompt to re-login
- (#564) Hitting Tab in the "Add tags" dialog switches focus as
proper instead of entering a tab character
- Update to 0.0.9.4-rc2
This Release Candidate fixes two bugs in RC1:
- Renaming the user no more causes multiple incarnations of it
in the user list (this one is also fixed in libQMatrixClient
0.5.1.1 but even if you run 0.5.1, it won't happen in
Quaternion anymore).
- The correct account is used to complete users/rooms in the
"Open room" dialog.
- Change BuildRequire for libqmatrixclient to 0.5.1
- Update to 0.0.9.4-rc
- Fix (#524): Quaternion no more crashes after changing the order
of tags.
- Fix (#546): HTML pieces in display names are correctly escaped
now.
- Fix: In Add tags dialog, empty lines are no more treated as
empty tag names, just skipped.
- Fix (#558): Regular expressions checking arguments of
slash-commands have been fixed to match the Matrix identifiers
grammar - thanks to nepugia.
- Fix (#559): The bottommost scroll position is also remembered
if the last thing before switching away from the room was
clicking the Scroll to bottom button.
- Fix (#500): Instead of scaring people away with the word
unencrypted, a used protocol is now clearly indicated in the
message placeholder line (hopefully, most people using
Quaternion do know what HTTP and HTTPS mean).
- Fix (#542): If the domainpart used by your homeserver does not
coincide with the actual domain for connections, Quaternion
doesn't confuse you anymore with incorrectly constructed room
aliases in the Room settings dialog (e.g.,
#alias:matrix.example.org instead of #alias:example.org).
This was just a visual wart; no actual aliases have been hurt.
- Fix (#568): uploaded images are displayed in the timeline again,
after being broken for the most time of 0.0.9.4 development
(0.0.9.3 didn't have uploading at all).
- Enhancement: The room settings dialog now includes the room id.
A few enhancements have arrived thanks to @krkk:
- #555: /shrug now accepts optional text after it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- #557: The text in the users list filter is saved with rooms
now; when you switch a room, it's flushed/switched as well.
- #547: Open room dialog now suggests canonical room aliases
(from the local room list) and user ids (from all known users),
as you type. Non-canonical aliases need
QMatrixClient/libqmatrixclient#301 to be fixed (unfortunately,
it will only come in libQMatrixClient 0.6 due to compatibility
breakage).
- Update to 0.0.9.4-beta2
- This version uses the freshly released libQMatrixClient
0.5.0.2, fixing issues with upgraded rooms (debug builds no
more crash upon seeing some of them) and with v3 rooms
(read receipts and redactions now work with v3 rooms too).
In case you wonder - #gsoc:matrix.org has been recently
upgraded to v3.
- (#338) The room header no more streches too far on long
multiline topics; and along the way, it gained swanky
animations!
- Open room dialog fixed when there's just one account.
- (#530) Quaternion no more crashes upon attempts to search
a user with no room opened. Actually, it even disables the search box for the avoidance of doubt.
- (#534) Uploading files with no supplementary text works now.
- Updated translations.
- CI builds for all platforms including Windows can now be found
in one place at bintray.
- Changes from 0.0.9.4-beta1
- #484: Qt Keychain support to securely store access tokens
- #507: Finally, some basics of internal navigation from the
timeline:
- rooms can be opened using Open room dialog (Ctrl-O) - by
their id, alias or matrix.to URL;
- moreover, direct chats can be opened by entering the user ID
or matrix.to URL into the same dialog;
- and even more, middle-clicking on a user id/matrix.to link
in the timeline also opens a direct chat.
- navigating to event permalinks is not there yet, pending
support in libQMatrixClient (give your votes in
QMatrixClient/libqmatrixclient#252).
- #187: Native scrollbars can be used instead of shuttle
scrollbars.
- #448, #483: there's been a bit of working on more responsive
scrolling. If scrolling still feels unnatural, please leave
a note in #483.
- #123: Timeline can be scrolled using Ctrl-PageUp/PageDown and
(if directly focused) Up and Down keys. This is a tentative
implementation but is likely to be around at least until
0.0.9.5.
- #32, #209: Attachments support; an image or other file can be
posted to a room, with automatic media type detection.
No support for thumbnailing yet (which causes #518).
- #437: User list can be searched and filtered
- #455: If the server supports it, room members are lazy-loaded;
the full list for the given is requested upon switching to it
though. Normally this should a no change for end users.
- #403 and #476: Quaternion can close to tray and also start
minimised to tray (thanks to @ddanilov and @krkk).
- #381: middle-click on a room name in the room list opens this
room; middle-click on a user name in the user list opens
a direct chat with the user (thanks to @krkk).
- #517: for those who build from sources: -DUSE_INTREE_LIBQMC is
ON by default; however, if CMake doesn't find in-tree library
sources, it will try to look around for an installed library
development files. Pass -DUSE_INTREE_LIBQMC=OFF to suppress
the fallback.
