## Refactoring
2020-06-26 22:51:51 +10:00
- General change/upload avatar component for account and room settings
- Refactor EventList.qml
- Refactor `InviteBanner`/`LeftBanner`
- Implement different delegate for different types of events in QML, instead
of having only one doing everything with untranslatable content texts
from Python
## Issues
- Show a proper error when accepting a room invite that has expired or
the room doesn't exist anymore (`MatrixNotFound`)
- Replying to one of our own message that's currently only a local echo
results in a reply to an empty ID
2020-06-26 22:51:51 +10:00
- Bottom focus line for an `HTextArea` inside a `ScrollView` is invisible,
put the background on `ScrollView` instead?
- Don't send typing notification when switching to a room where the composer
has preloaded text
- When calling `Backend.update_room_read_marker()` for a recent message,
the marker will only be updated for accounts that have already received
it (server lag)
2020-05-22 22:27:59 +10:00
- Jumping between accounts (clicking in account bar or alt+(Shift+)N) is
laggy with hundreds of rooms in between
2020-03-27 22:12:57 +11:00
- Drag-scrolling in room pane a tiny bit activates the delegates
2020-03-14 04:04:36 +11:00
- Catch server 5xx errors when sending message and retry
2020-03-11 12:28:32 +11:00
- After forgetting a room, it comes back because of the "you left" event
- `code`, mentions and links in quote ("> http://example.com") aren't properly
colored in room delegate "last message" subtitle
2020-03-21 05:11:47 +11:00
- `Timer` and `Animation` are bound to framerate
2019-12-18 09:50:21 +11:00
- Can't use `QQmlApplicationEngine`, problem with QApplication?
See https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-50992
2020-03-11 12:28:32 +11:00
- [HTML <hr> not rendered](https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-74342)
- Pausing uploads doesn't work well, servers ends up dropping the connection
(no real solution possible?)
## Interface
- Colorize "@room" in messages
2020-06-26 22:51:51 +10:00
- Device IP geolocation
- Can rooms be left with a reason?
2020-06-26 22:51:51 +10:00
2020-05-22 22:27:59 +10:00
- When responding to a message, highlight that message in the timeline
- Highlight timeline messages that mentions our user
- Add room members loading indicator, similar to the "Loading past messages..."
2020-03-27 22:12:57 +11:00
- Long-press-drag to select multiple messages on touch
- Drag to select multiple messages on non-touch
Bump version to v0.4.1 Changelogs: Added: - `hideMembershipEvents` setting in config file, controls whether events such as "x joined the room" are shown in the timeline - `hideProfileChangeEvents` setting in config file, controls whether display name and avatar change events are shown in the timeline - Compact mode to make accounts, rooms, messages and room members take only one line as well as reducing vertical spacing between them. Set by the new `compactMode` setting in config file, and can also be toggled with the `keys.toggleCompactMode` keybind which defaults to Alt+Ctrl+C - `keys.focusRoomAtIndex` in config file, a `{"<index>": "<keybind>"}` mapping which by default binds Alt+1-9 and Alt-0 to focus room 1 to 10 in the current account - User ID, display names, room ID and room aliases are now automatically transformed to matrix.to links and will be rendered as mentions by clients. In Mirage, this results in user ID/names being colored with the same color seen when they send messages - Track the number of times your user was mentioned in rooms. The visual counter is not yet displayed, since there currently is no way to mark messages as read and make the counter go down Fixed: - Python exceptions occuring in the asyncio loop not being printed in the terminal - Extra newline shown after code blocks in messages - Constant CPU usage due to button loading animations still being rendered while uneeded and invisible Theme changes: - Added `controls.avatar.compactSize` property - Added `.mention` class styling to `chat.message.styleSheet`
2020-03-24 05:45:38 +11:00

URL in browser

2020-03-27 22:12:57 +11:00
- Publish on Flathub and AppImageHub
- Update to Mistune v2.0 when released
## Notable changes for future Qt version upgrade
### [Qt 5.13](https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.13)
- Added `SplitView`
- Added `cache` property to icon
### [Qt 5.14](https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.14)
- Applications can now opt-in to use non-integer scale factors.
Use `QGuiApplication::highDpiScaleFactorRoundingPolicy`.
- Added `qmlRegisterSingletonInstance` function.
This allows to expose a QObject as a singleton to QML, without having to
create a factory function as required by `qmlRegisterSingletonType`.
It is meant as a type safe replacement of `setContextProperty`.
- Added `qmlRegisterAnonymousType` as a replacement for `qmlRegisterType`.
It allows to specify the URI and major version for better tooling support.
- qmllint gained an experimental -U option. If run with it, it warns about
about accesses to unqualified identifiers
- `Text` and `TextEdit` now support Markdown format
(CommonMark and GitHub dialects) as an alternative to HTML.
Includes the GitHub checklist extension, such that you can click to toggle
checkboxes in a `TextEdit`.
- `TextEdit` uses an I-beam cursor by default, and a pointing-hand cursor when
hovering a checkbox or a link
- Added `WheelHandler`, an Event Handler for the mouse wheel, and optionally
for emulated mouse wheel events coming from a trackpad.
- Rewrite `HKineticScrollingDisabler` with it
- Added `BoundaryRule` in Qt.labs.animation: a `PropertyValueInterceptor` that
restricts the range of values a numeric property can have, applies
"resistance" when the value is overshooting, and provides the ability to
animate it back within range. It's particularly useful in combination with
`WheelHandler`, to provide similar physics as Flickable has.
- `Image` and `BorderImage` now have the same `currentFrame` and `frameCount`
properties that `AnimatedImage` has; this allows choosing an individual icon
from an .ICO file that contains multiple icons, for example.
In the future it's intended to support other multi-page formats such as
PDF, TIFF and WEBP.
2020-03-09 20:55:57 +11:00
2020-03-11 12:28:32 +11:00
- `Binding.restoreMode`: This property can be used to describe if and how the
original value should be restored when the binding is disabled.
2020-03-09 20:55:57 +11:00
### [Qt 5.15](https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.15)
- Introduced inline components
(ability to declare multiple QML components in the same file)
- Introduced `required` properties
- Added a declarative way of registering types to QML
- Added support for the Nullish Coalescing Operator (`??`)
- Added `qmlformat` tool which automatically formats any QML file according to
the QML Coding Conventions.
- Added `cursorShape` property to pointer handlers. Most pointer handlers
(e.g. `DragHandler`) will change the cursor when the active state is true.
`HoverHandler` will change it when the mouse is hovering over the `Item` that
contains the `HoverHandler`.
- Added `selectTextByMouse` property to `ComboBox`.
- Technology Preview: Support for running Qt Quick (2D) on top of
Direct3D, Metal and Vulkan
- `ListView.reuseItems` property
