Pika Backup version 0.4 has been released. This release wraps up a year of development work and brings major features like scheduled backups, rule-based removal of older archives, and an updated interface using GTK 4 and Libadwaita.
Telegrand development has seen quite a number of improvements since the last report. The app is finally shaping up quite well and the light for a first release seems closer than ever! These are the highlights of some of the work that happened since the last report:
Implemented user actions reports (e.g. users typing or sending photos) by Marcus Behrendt
Implemented message event types (e.g. user joining a group) by Carlod
Implemented message photo sending
Improved the message entry look
Added phone country code selection in the login process by Marcus Behrendt
Added more ways to authenticate (e.g. via SMS, call or flash call) by Marcus Behrendt
Hide the message entry when not needed (e.g. while in a channel) by Carlod
Added ability to delete messages
Improved chat history scrolling (now default to the bottom)
Added ability to pin/unpin chats by Marcus Behrendt
Ability to open the relative chat by clicking a notification
I’ve released Geopard v1.1.0, the new version of my gemini client. This release brings:
Improved design, with completely new pages for downloads, input requests, external links, errors
Added more spacing between links to make them easier to click on small screens
Added zoom functionality, via shortcuts or directly from the popover menu
Streaming button (alpha) for some audio/video file types
From the last announcement, I’ve also fixed various issues reported on github. Mainly, there was an issue with the handling of downloads, which is now fixed.
New Amberol release, with lots of papercut fixes, improvement in the UI responsiveness when loading large directories, and accessibility fixes for both the UI and key navigation.
That’s all for this week!
See you next week, and be sure to stop by #thisweek:gnome.org with updates on your own projects!
