- More iPhone & iPad fixes.
- Fullscreen fixes.
- Disabled the tap to toggle fullscreen.
- Restored the old-style fullscreen toggle by pulling down when at the top.
- Since the UIPageViewController approach to paging had multiple issues that were proving impossible to work around, I decided to revert to the old UIScrollView-based approach.
- When rotating iPhone from portrait to landscape, the feed detail now appears correctly.
- Eliminated some popping; changing columns works differently with the split view.
- Horizontal and vertical page view controllers, using experimental views.
- This will help with #1351 (gestures in vertical scrolling).
- Changes preparing for #1264 (multi-window) support.
- Various other tweaks.
- Added a preference on iPad to show videos inline or full-screen. Defaults to inline.
- This preference only applies after the app is restarted, as it's a configuration option of the web view, that has to be set on creation.
- Saved searches (if any) are now listed near the bottom of the feeds list.
- When one is tapped, the folder or feed is displayed and the search performed.
- When showing a saved search, a Delete Saved Search command appears at the top of the menu.
- When showing a non-saved search, a Save Search command appears in the menu.
- When the status bar is shown and nav bar hidden, now shows the feed gradient.
- Fixed incorrect scrolling when going to a story that shows the bar.
- Fixed the status bar background not showing up.
- Fixed the traversal buttons sliding down on first appearance.
- Added a “Hide status bar” preference below the “Full screen” one.
- It is only shown when “Full screen” is on.
- Defaults to on, which does the previous behavior.
- If turned off, the status bar remains visible when scrolling to full-screen.
- In this situation, a fade-out gradient will be shown under the status bar, so the story content dims to avoid conflicting with the status bar content.
- It’s alive, ALIVE!
- You can now build and run NewsBlur for macOS!
- Still lots of issues, including the story CSS not rendering properly, but it works.
- Plus of course making things more Mac-like, like modal views as real windows, etc.
- Committed to a new branch, since not ready for prime time.
- All app-specific uses of UIWebView have been replaced with WKWebView.
- Some third-party uses remain.
- More testing required.
- Note that I’ve bumped the minimum iOS version to iOS 11, since that is needed for WKWebView support.
- Committing to a new branch until ready.
- Added Statistics to the preferences for the left swipe in the feeds list.
- A bit of refactoring to support displaying the popover from a cell on iPad.
- Added a Statistics item to the feed detail menu (please provide an icon).
- This command will show the statistics web page in a popover on iPad, or pushed on iPhone.
- Extended the “original” view controller to support showing a custom page without changing the title or including the navigation bar buttons.
- Fixed the story sometimes not getting displayed in the app when tapping in the widget.
- Now uses the scaled thumbnails provided by the server.
- Split the image cache into separate caches for feed images and story images.
- Now prunes the cached story images to only those currently displayed.
- Tapping a story in the widget now opens it in the All Stories river view.
- Tried to get the widget to reload the content on first launch, but couldn’t. I might try again later.
- Reworded the first launch message as “Tap to set up in NewsBlur”, as a placeholder and to help discover the prefs.
- Now just reloads the table when collapsing or expanding, to avoid @nriley’s crash (the animation was pretty much invisible anyway).
- Manually changing the theme now turns off the preference to follow the system appearance.
- Turning on following the system appearance immediately updates the theme appropriately.
- Added a "Download text" preference. Defaults on.
- If on, the text is fetched for feeds that are in text view when fetching new stories.
- The text is fetched after stories, and before images, using a similar mechanism.
- The text is stored in a new "cached_text" database table.
- The text is deleted when the story is deleted.
- When displaying a text view, the cached text is used if available, otherwise it is fetched as before.
Note that need to pull-to-refresh to make the preference take effect, since it sorts on loading the feeds. I think that’s reasonable; not something people would change often.
- Reproduced by scrolling a story to go full-screen, double-click to show the Safari browser view, interactively go partially back, then scroll in the browser.
- Now shows the navigation bar when using the browser, since the browser shows it, so they’re consistent.
- Fixed the story appearing to be unread after returning to the app.
- Fixed the "scroll horizontally" preference appearing twice.
- Fixed the add feed and action toolbar buttons sometimes appearing blue.
- Fixed issues related to the way the feeds list is set up, that caused tapping on folders and feed detail buttons to fail (that was very tricky to narrow down).
- Fixed the FTUX presentation on iPad.
- Implemented the feature, showing or hiding hidden stories, only offering it if there are some.
- I used the “all” icon in the menu as a placeholder; please provide one you’d prefer.
- Since the crusty old menu mechanism doesn’t handle dynamic items well, I took this opportunity to migrate the feed detail menu to the block-based MenuViewController mechanism, resulting in significant code reduction.
- Enhanced MenuViewController to support the theme controls etc, so other menus can be more easily migrated next time they need to be updated.
