- 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.
- 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.
- Added a preference to override the mark read on scroll option per feed/folder.
- If off, changing the feed menu item toggles the global preference.
- If on, changing it only affects that feed.
- 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 an Export Preferences… button in the Preferences view to save a copy of the preferences to a file.
- Added an Import Preferences… button to load a saved preferences file and replace the prefs.
- Added a document type and UTI type for the prefs file (you can provide an icon if you like).
- Enabled iCloud document support to allow saving to shared locations.
- Added a bridging header to enable Swift code to work properly.
- 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.
- 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.
- Added a "Restore position" preference in the "Reading Stories" group, with options to restore the previous state on launch always, within a specified interval, or never.
- When within the indicated interval, the app restores the feeds, feed detail, and story selections and scrolling positions.
- The active story is marked unread to ensure it remains available for restoring, and re-marked read when resumed.
- NOTE: only supported on iPhone for now. I’ll add iPad support later.
- Removed the tap gesture, as requested. Though I suspect you might change your mind about that one.
- Added a segmented control to toggle full screen in the story detail menu.
- (Also added one for the forthcoming autoscroll feature while I was there, since it’s easier to add both at once.)
- Fixed a bug with full screen when vertically scrolling between stories.
Replaced the Preview descriptions preference with a multi-select for title only, plus short, medium, and long title & content. The text space is dynamically distributed between the two. The thumbnail is constrained in size so both the large and small variations work with all preview text sizes, with the date below if it fits.
Added a "Tap story" preference with "Toggle full screen" and "Do nothing" options; toggling is the default. This is only available on iPhone. When active, a single tap in a story, not on a link, image, movie, or button, will hide or show the status and navigation bars. On iPhones with a notch (iPhone X, XS, etc), the feed bar at the top is also hidden, so the story can scroll under the notch, using every bit of the screen.
Added a new "Scroll horizontally" preference (in the "Reading Stories" section of the prefs). Defaults off. Note that this is a change in behavior from before; you might want to default it on to avoid confusing existing users. I do prefer the new vertical scrolling behavior.
Added a new “Ask” item to the Long Press Story Title preferences.
Chosen by default.
When “Ask” is selected, the feed detail long press displays a menu with
mark read options and other long press options.
