New * There’s a new Copy context menu action for drafts that copies text for all drafts in the thread to your clipboard. The text copy will be improved in a future update, so that line breaks are preserved. Fixes * Search should work reliably again. * No unnecessary flashing when you add a reply to an existing thread. * Server side updates to a post should be reflected when opening a thread. * Follow button on About screen should always be enabled.

**New** - You can now edit already published posts! This is possible through the “Edit” option on a long press (right-click) or right swipe on a published post in the thread view. The scope of edits is currently restricted to the main text (post content). The ability to change media in your post as well as change post sensitivity/spoiler text will be added in a future update. - [Cmd + E] is the new keyboard shortcut for editing a post, and [Cmd + Shift + E] is the remapped shortcut to edit a thread’s drafts. - Added a new setting in ”Threads” section that allows you to change the sort order of posts in a thread view. Defaults to ascending, which makes the first post in a thread appear at the top (and your drafts/composer at the bottom) i.e. what you’re used to. However you can flip this around to descending so your drafts appear at the top (composer above!) followed by the latest post down to the first. - New icon from the supremely talented Andy Carolan. Thank you so much! **Improvements** - Published posts in a thread view are — as referenced above — now swipable. A right swipe gives you the option to edit the post, and a left swipe to delete the post from the server. - “Posts” section in Settings renamed to “Threads” to better reflect its scope. - Icons added to Avatar menu options. - No longer says ”Queued” when referring to drafts in progress. This change in anticipation of scheduling capabilities to come, as the concept of queuing is more closely associated in this context. So, moving forward, anything not scheduled but drafted will be highlighted as a draft, and once scheduling comes into play, queued will indicated something that has been scheduled to be auto-posted later. **Fixes** - A thread that has had its replies forked will be elegantly merged when possible with no user input required. - Editing drafts for a thread on a right-click should work again (was showing it as empty sometimes). - The context menu for a thread on the Posts feed won’t incorrectly show a thread as having drafts to edit when there are actually none. - Any published post with drafts should always show in the Drafts screen in the Replies section. - If there’s no spoiler text, spoiler warning will not incorrectly show. - Should not see a post duplicated in the Drafts screen’s replies when it’s a draft for a thread that’s only had a single post.

**Improvements** - Search will now work even when you don’t have it turned on for your server. This is building on the performance improvements introduced in a recent update to help with better start-up times. Search will prioritise looking through your posts locally, and make server calls as a secondary means to retrieve matches. In order to extend search’s reach, scroll as far back in time in your Posts screen. This will cache all posts that have been loaded for better performance and deeper search. In a future update, I’ll make changes so you don’t need to do this yourself to get optimal search results. - As a result of the above, search should be faster to execute. Additionally, its able to return results from further back in time too because it leverages the server for posts older than those that have been cached. **Fixes** - Discarding a draft reply to a published thread will actually delete it (and not just give the initial impression). - Doing a search should never show results from a previous search. - When you [Cancel] a search, you shouldn’t see ”No matches found” flash quickly. - Cursor position shouldn’t unexpectedly ever jump to the end of text on a [return]. - Viewing a thread’s drafts should always display them in full (and not ever see them momentarily truncated before becoming visible in full).

**Improvements** - Posts in search results now highlight matching term. - When you open a thread during a search, matching terms will now also show on posts there too. - If there’s a trailing space in a search, it’s not considered when looking for matching posts. - Tapping on the Posts icon on the Tab/Side Bar will scroll you back to the top. Will get it to behave similarly on other tabs in a future update. - First post appears slightly higher up the screen. **Fixes** - When you login to a different account, posts from your previous account won’t show (this would previously correct itself on a new app launch). - Dates appear instantly when starting the app (and don’t show after a split noticeable second). - Doesn’t show wrong total number of posts when you tap on the post x/n button in composer’s toolbar. - Pinned screen displays threads correctly (same as Posts screen). So no more duplicate posts, but instead shows the first + last posts in a thread (or the custom title instead of first post if one is set). - No invisible tab bar when you’re editing a search. - Keyboard focus isn’t auto-set when you tap on a search result to view its thread, and then navigate back.

**Fixes** - Feed should get refreshed correctly after publishing a reply to an existing thread. - Deleting the last post in a thread will correctly refresh your feed to show the new last post for the thread.

**New** - Tapping on ”Posts“ on the navigation title bar will scroll you back to the top. **Improvements** - Posts on the Pins screen should appear similar to on the main feed, i.e. if a custom title is set, it will show, and if there are multiple posts within the thread, this will be indicated. - Hashtag suggestions should appear quicker than before. - Media sheet will have a bit of top padding, so it doesn’t appear like it’s cut off from the top. - Due to odd behaviour (more likely/visible when you are working with a large piece of text), I’ve changed the text editing control to a more stable/older one. Early testing indicates this should stop sudden jumps in scroll position or for text to become obscured behind the keyboard as the text size increases. **Fixes** - All your pins should appear when you start Tusks up, even if their last entry isn’t recent. - Should never crash when you tap # in composer. - Text should not be invisible if you begin (intentional or not) it with a new line (i.e. hit [return] for an empty first line). - Inserting a # or @ in the middle of text (as opposed to end) in the composer should not have unexpected results. Suggestions should show up correctly and tapping on any should insert it in the right position, with cursor position correct afterwards. - When the previous draft had hashtags, tapping/clicking anywhere on the empty textarea for the next post should always set focus to the beginning of the text. - Deleting a published post should always work. Previously it may not if you were editing a draft reply earlier. - When accessing a thread that has a post with a video, it should no longer crash (it was happening inconsistently before). As a temporary measure, video snapshots have been removed and replaced with a generic video thumbnail. I’ll restore this once I figure a reliable/performant way to show a snapshot of a video. Sorry till then. - There should not be any issues with text jumping or becoming obscured when entering text in the composer, no matter the length or number of paragraphs.

**New** - Draft icon now dynamically updates to reflect the state of your drafts. Shows a number to indicate number of *new* posts and if there are none but there are replies pending then will show a reply symbol. If you have no drafts whatsoever, then it’s an empty canvas. - (macOS) Added a [Save] button when you are editing an existing draft. **Improvements** - Deleting a post/thread should be a more stable action (that is, much less likely to result in a crash, however rare before even). - Nicer translucent material finish on the tab bar. - Tab bar doesn’t jump when opening/closing the [+] sheet. - Reduced unnecessary top padding when you have the search box up. **Fixes** - When you publish a reply to a thread you’ve set a custom title for, the custom title will continue to show on your feed. - If you externally delete the last post of a thread (such as on the web), it will no longer result in the app not showing the entire thread in your feed. - The [Publish] button in the composer will always show the correct number of posts to publish. - Same applies to the notification text signalling number of posts being published after you press the button (whether toast or overlay).
