goToNextAccount
(default Alt+M) keybinds to cycle and jump between
accounts in the room list. -
keys.focusAccountAtIndex
in config file, a{"<index>": "<keybind>"}
mapping similar tofocusRoomAtIndex
which by default binds
Ctrl+1-9 and Ctrl+0 to jump to account 1 to 10 in the room list
-
-
Replies:
-
The context menu for messages now has a "Reply" option
-
The new
replyToFocusedOrLastMessage

Changed
-
Performance:
-
Use room members lazy-loading, accounts that have joined
large numbers of rooms will now finally be able to finish their
initial sync.
When the currently shown UI page is a room, the full members list for it
will be loaded. -
Request less events for the initial sync, and exclude some types like
membership events to increase initial sync speed -
Retrieving profiles for events sent by users no longer present in a room
will no block and delay past events loading.
Missing profiles will be fetched asynchronously when the messages
are currently in view in the UI. -
Reduce the number of events that need to be sent between Python and QML
due to changes in list models data -
Consecutive syncs will now have a one second delay between them to reduce
both client and server strain
-
-
Improved group display name calculations (nio 0.11+ change):
for example, a room that would previously be shown as "Alice and 6 others"
will now be shown as "Alice, Bob, Carol, Dave, Erin and 1 other"
(up to 5 visible names). -
Group rooms with more than two users and without an explicitely set avatar
will no longer show their first member's profile picture as avatar -
The
unfocusOrDeselectAllMessages
keybind now defaults to Ctrl+D
instead of Escape, which no longer works as of Qt 5.14.
debugFocusedMessage
is changed from Ctrl+D to Ctrl+Shift+D. -
Better QML logging format: messages will now be dated, and have a
symbol + color (on Linux and OSX terminals) representing their category -
Messages containing code blocks will no longer have their max width limited
-
Set
hideUnknownEvents
totrue
in the default config file -
Set a more useful default minimum size for the left pane
-
The
collapseSidePanesUnderWindowWidth
setting now defaults to450
instead
of400
, to account for the larger minimum pane size. -
Show a more useful error message with traceback when retrieving an account's
profile or the server config fails on startup -
Hide
socket.gaierror
error popups -
When pressing the
startPythonDebugger
(default Alt+Shift+D) keybind,
usepdb
ifremote_pdb
isn't installed -
Themes:
mainPane.bottomBar
properties:background
is now by default
transparent
,settingsButtonBackground
andfilterFieldBackground
are
now set tocolors.strongBackground
Removed
-
Performance:
-
After the initial sync, Mirage will no longer try to continually fetch
previous events for rooms where the sync haven't brought any event that is
suitable to be shown as room last event subtitle in the left pane. -
Mirage will no longer try to find and autolink display names in incoming
events, which was a very costly operation for rooms with
thousands of members.
-
-
The uvloop python module is no longer supported or recommended as an optional
dependency, due to being responsible for some segfaults -
The SortFilterProxyModel and RadialBarDemo git submodules are no longer
used. hsluv-c is the only submodule still used currently.
Fixed
-
Performance:
-
Stop rendering and keeping in RAM rooms that aren't currently visible in
the left pane.
This fixes the massive memory usage that occurred with hundreds of rooms
and their avatar images loaded all at once. -
Room elements in the left pane will no longer be reloaded every time
a list movement happens (e.g. a room is bumped to the top due to a new
message).
This also lets the movement animation correctly play instead of being
skipped.
-
-
Don't show a popup when pressing the redact message keybind if that
message can't be redacted -
Stricter mention parsing, fix various cases of text being autolinked when it
shouldn't -
Fix exception when parsing
<a>
HTML tags withouthref
attribute -
Fix crash on Python 3.6 due to
asyncio.current_task
-
Fix
AttributeError
when using matrix-nio v0.11+ -
Fix potential crash on startup due to asyncio event loop and threading
-
Fix uploads getting rejected by servers due to not passing a file size
-
Fix extra spacing between "Add chat" and "Expand/Collapse" account buttons
-
Hide the Binding deprecation warnings in terminal that Qt 5.14+ spams
-
Fix client not waiting before retrying a failed sync due to server error
-
Correctly handle server 429 "Too many requests" errors when they come purely
in the form of a HTTP status code without a JSON object giving any info -
Fix left rooms remaining at full opacity in the left pane
-
Fix escape key not working to clear the "Filter rooms" field and focus
the chat again -
Fix event mention link detection, and stop trying to autolink event ID
strings in messages as matrix.to URLs also need a room ID to make sense

second press
Fixed
-
Segfault after login on KDE
-
Buttons not displaying correctly on Qt 5.14
-
Hard tab characters in theme files not being handled by the theme parser
-
focusRoomAtIndex
keybindings: default to Cmd+numbers on OSX instead of
Alt/Option+numbers, which prevented typing special characters on some
keyboard layouts -
Needing to press escape twice to close context menus and popups
-
"Go back to chat" button not doing anything when the room settings pane was
focused in narrow mode
0.4.2
Added
-
Accounts, rooms, room members and messages can now be long-tapped on touch
screens to open their context menu -
New touch screen and keyboard-friendly message selection system, replaces
the previous slow and buggy text selection implementation:-
Tap a message to select or deselect it
-
Press escape, or use the context menu entry "Deselect all" to deselect
all messages -
Tap a first message, then shift+tap another one
(or use "Select until here" from the context menu) to select all messages
from the first to last -
With a mouse, a single message can be partially selected and copied
-
The keyboard can be used to navigate with Ctrl+Up/Down (or Ctrl+J/K),
Ctrl+Space to (de)select, Ctrl+Shift+Space for first-to-last selection,
Ctrl+C for copying the selection, and Escape to focus the composer again
(twice to also deselect messages).
These shortcuts can be changed in the config file.
-
-
Themes:
chat.message.focusedHighlight
,
chat.message.focusedHighlightOpacity
,chat.message.checkedBackground
and
chat.message.thumbnailCheckedOverlayOpacity
-
Scripts and instructions to build a Flatpak package
The new selection system is still work in progress, dragging to select multiple
messages at once on desktop is not implemented yet.
Changed
- Themes: increased default
colors.accentBackground
brightness
Fixed
-
Possible error when handling a room member event that is missing previous
display name or avatar info -
Correctly parse
mailto:
links where the mail address ends with a digit
(e.g.mailto:foo@localhost:8050
, or where the host is a single character -
Respect case when turning display names into mentions, typing a display name
containing uppercase letters all in lowercase would result in a broken link -
Correctly handle
0
as a value for thealertOnMessageForMsec
setting,
this will now prevent urgency hints (window/desktop highlighting or flashing
on new message for most desktops, "ready" notification on Gnome)
0.4.1
Added
-
hideMembershipEvents
setting, controls whether events such as
"x joined the room" are shown in the timeline. -
hideProfileChangeEvents
setting, controls whether display name and avatar
change events are shown in the timeline. -
hideUnknownEvents
setting, controls whether events not yet supported by
Mirage (e.g.m.reaction
) 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 newcompactMode
setting in config file, can also be toggled
with thekeys.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, room aliases and message ID are now
automatically turned into matrix.to links and will be
rendered as mentions by clients.
In Mirage, user ID/names will be 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. -
Themes:
controls.avatar.compactSize
property -
Themes: mention classes styling to
chat.message.styleSheet
Fixed
-
Python exceptions occurring in the asyncio loop not being printed in
the terminal -

Constant CPU usage due to button loading animations still being rendered
while unneeded and invisible
