People modify animationDuration because they want a snappy client.
But it also affects a few things that do not contribute to that
and should remain constant speed:
- Busy indicator
- Progress bar animation
- Ping indicator in AddAccount ServerBrowser
- Image rotation button cooldown
AddChat and AccountSettings:
- When clicking the cancel button, if there's no previous back to go
back to, focus the main pane instead of doing nothing
AccountSettings:
- Always enable the cancel button, not just when the form has been
modified
AddChat, AccountSettings, ServerBrowser:
- Pressing escape will do the same thing as clicking the cancel button
In "mobile mode" where main pane is hidden due to application's width:
- Show a back button in the tab bar of the AccountSettings and
AddChat pages
- Show a back button in the address field (opposite to the "next
button") of the ServerBrowser, unless there are no accounts added yet
(application first run) and the main pane would be empty
When hovering on stability percentages in the server browser, a tooltip
now shows the total downtime in the past 30 days, number of incidents,
their average length and the longest's duration.
- Cleaner design for the backend user_files classes and simplified
interaction with QML
- Config and theme files will now automatically reload when changed on
disk
- Removed manual reload keybind and button
Sometimes and randomly, a HListView/HGridView delegate's
add/populate transition will stop before completion.
This especially happens on startup when loading a large room list,
one room might get stuck and left tiny or invisible, despite its
normal space still being taken.
Returning a Future doesn't work on Windows for some reason
(https://github.com/thp/pyotherside/issues/116).
Instead of using these objects from QML to cancel running coroutines,
call a Python QMLBridge function that takes a coroutine UUID and will
take care of the cancelling.
Contact the server's .well-known API before anything to get
available login flows instead of blindly assuming it will be
m.login.password, and to get the server's real URL instead of
requiring users to remember that e.g. it's "chat.privacytools.io"
and not just "privacytools.io" despite user IDs making it look like so.
The server field will also now remember the last accepted URL.
- Rename ButtonLayout module to just Buttons
- Rename ButtonLayout into AutoDirectionLayout and move it to Base,
it's useful not just for buttons
- Rename OtherButton into GroupButton, which is now the base of all
other Buttons buttons
- Add generic (Positive|Middle|Negative)Button components, which are now
the base for (Apply|Cancel)Button
- Refactor everything about HBox, and adapt all the pages and popups
that used it
- Replace HTabContainer by HTabbedBox
- Make boxes swippable
- Make esc presses in boxes click the cancel button
- Make all boxes and popups scrollable when needed
- Replace generic apply button icons in popups
- Fix tab focus for error and invite popups
- Rework (still WIP) the account settings page:
- Use the standard tabbed design of other pages
- Ditch the horizontal profile layout, hacky and impossible to extend
- Add real-time coloring for the display name field
- Implement a device list in account settings (Sessions, still WIP)
