Happy New Year to everyone! To start the year in the best possible way, a new beta version of the app is available for testing!

Changelog:

• feat: restrict local user search to results on the current instance;
• chore: update acknowledgements (with new translators);
• chore: update dependencies.

For those of you who may have missed it, the new “user tagging” feature is available since beta01. For the 1.14.0 milestone, I’ll be working on making it possible to select custom sort types for users posts and comments, similarly to what can already be done for communities.

As requested by some of you (@[email protected]), we set up the process to release on Google Play too. The app is now only available to closed testers, who can participate in the testing program using this link. Since this is only available to a closed list of users, please make sure you join the following group with the same email address you are going to use on Google Play.

After the minimum number of testers have been enrolled for two weeks, we are going to be able to distribute it to the general public. For those of you who are getting the app from F-Droid, don’t despair: the build job is stuck some versions behind but I’ve solved the issues so after these holidays I can ping them for updates and have it in-synch again.

p.s. This is also the first Wednesday of January, so we can use this post as the starter for the usual Q&A session. #livefasteattrash #procyonproject
