Releases: ssbc/patchbay
Patchbay v8.1.0
release notes to follow
Known bugs :
- initial sync works, but the launch from that doesn't. quit out and come back in for a normal launch
- in windows @-mentions seem to explode the app. try waiting a few minutes for mentions cache to load?
- icon isn't quite right on mac
Patchbay v8.0.1
ssb-ahoy !
Patchbay is now launched with ssb-ahoy which allows you to:
- edit your config before you start the app
- choose / create identities
This is the change that's responsible for this being a major release. Under the hood it:
- moves all electron state management out of patchbay
- moves config selection / building outside of patchbay
For convenience there's now a npm run lite for people who still like running standalone ssb-server in the commandline.
Large File Attachements
Up till now, we've had a 5MB cap on scuttlebutt attachments (blobs). @arj03 has added support to add DAT-based attachments, which means the sky is the limit !
Styling
Styling / design on settings page (the friends pubs feature)
Performance
- feeds on many major pages now gracefully close their pull-streams when you ask for a refresh/ redraw of the page. This should help with memory usage (pages :
/inbox,/posts,/public,/notifications`)
Patchbay v7.17.0
New Features:
Spell checker - localisable to common languages supported by chrome.
Context menu tools - right click on cypher content to access a bunch of tidy new options
v7.16.2
Patchbay v7.16.2
Release notes
Books
patchbay-book got a major overhaul. The core was completely rewritten to make it nicer to work with and the UI have some features added, such as ability to see who has read a book from the list view, your review, the ability to annotate a book number of pages and more.
Connection control
It is now possible to better define who and how you connect to. In settings you can now choose to only connect to pubs run by your friends or yourself. And it is possible to only connect to pubs and other nodes over only tor, to hide your IP. This also works with tor-browser, so you don't need to have the tor dæmon installed.
Revealing private messages
It is now possible to read previously private messages that have been posted with an unbox key to enable others to read the conversations.
Invites
you can now use pub invites in the /network page
Security patches
some security patches were rolled out for some back end modules (ssb-server)
