We'll be updating minSdk to 19 in 4.37. This lets these users continue
to use the app, but they'll be warned with a persistent banner saying
that they can't receive updates.
Prevent users from trying to send videos that exceed the size limit.
Also, this commit properly populates height/width on media shared into
the app.
Fixes#8573
"Understood" or "Got it" is a way of dismissing a splash screen of notification without any change that is applies agreeing to anything.
It replaces "OK" which was sometimes misinterpreted as "I am OK with what I just read".
Update our media send flow to allow users to send multiple images/videos
at once. This change includes:
- New in-app media picker flow.
- Ability to caption images and videos.
- Image editing tools are made more prominent in the flow.
- Some fixes to the image editing tools.
Occasionally a job may be run when the app is in a network-restricted
mode, like a form of doze. When this happens, jobs can timeout due to
lack of network access, causing a cascade of job delays. This is
particularly bad in the case of message retrieval.
To prevent this, if a job that normally requires network detects that no
network is available when running, then we start a foreground
notification.
A new, fullscreen camera capture flow that easily allows you to capture
and edit a photo before sending it. Replaces the current half-screen
camera button.
This also fixes the situation where we block group-leave messages,
preventing blocked contacts from leaving groups.
Fixes#7970
Also, this forced us to upgrade libsignal-service, which fixes the
websocket timeout issues. Thanks to @dpapavas!
Fixes#6644
We were getting an IllegalArgumentException during channel creation on
some Samsung phones. Stack trace didn't give me much more than that, so
just adding in some additional safeguards that make sense based on
reading AOSP.
Previously, we'd only show the attachment button when the user had
yet to enter any text. To add an attachment after text was entered,
you'd have to go to the three-dot menu. Now we just show a little
attach button in the text area.
I also took the opportunity to clean up other button paddings and
stuff in the compose area so things look better and react to text
sizes more predictably.
In particular, there were many issues with drawing corners.
Unfortunately, there's no pretty way to get masking working on every
Android version, so we have to switch back to using custom backgrounds
and then using multiple masking methods depending on Android version.
Also, I had to remove attr references in drawables. They crash on 4.x.
Translation completion >= 90%, with the exception of Irish (80%), but they've been waiting for a rather long time.
Added:
- Irish
- Kurdish
- Telugu
- Ukrainian
Previously, if an operation failed, we set the result to "null".
However, this was a mistake. Setting the result at all assumes success.
Instead, we need to set an exception so the ListenableFuture knows that
the operation failed.
A variety of improvements to the image editor, such as:
- New, fullscreen styling
- Smoother lines
- Better text and sticker handling
- Improved color picker with a history pallette
- New highlighter tool
The "contact" option in the attachments tray now brings you through an
optimized contact sharing flow, allowing you to select specific fields
to share. The contact is then presented as a special message type,
allowing you to interact with the card to add the contact to your system
contacts, invite them to signal, initiate a signal message, etc.
Did a refactor to better organize the camera flipping code. Also, I
wanted to make sure we handle the cases where the user doesn't have two
cameras (or no cameras, for that matter). In these cases, we just don't
show the appropriate buttons.
Previously, quotes were not saved to drafts, meaning they would be lost
when leaving the conversation or app. Now, a QuoteId (which represents
the necessary data to restore the QuoteModel) is serialized and stored
in the DraftDatabase.
Fixes#7716Closes#7729
Currently, if you're searching for a contact to start a conversation
with or send a share to (via the Android sharing system), groups do not
appear. With this change, groups will now appear when searching, located
under their own heading.
Fixes#7202.
Closes#7577
Previously, we were always rendering images as squares. Instead of doing
that, we now render them as close to true-to-size as possible (within
reasonable min/max width/height boundaries).
