### 3/5 — Connection failed

*2026-05-17*

Created a new API key and used the same URL/port I use with other Forgejo apps but having issues with getting it working currently.

**Developer response:** Dear syscheckin,

Sorry for replying that late. Do you have any chance to forward the connection logs to me? There is now a working logging that was not there before. 

Maybe you can even post this on the apps support page, https://apps.hanold.info/support

Thanks!

Warm regards
Sven

More improvements

Various refinements and stability fixes.

### 2.5 — 2026-07-31

New in version 2.5:

• Favorites: Mark important repositories so they appear right at the top and stay within easy reach.
• Read offline: Enable the offline cache per repository and read repos, issues and pull requests even without a connection to your instance.
• Work queue: A cross-repository overview shows what's assigned to you and what's awaiting your review – with assignee and author filters.
• Customize home: Arrange the home screen freely and choose how many entries the feed shows.
• Open links in the app: Tapped links to your instance now open directly in gyokuro instead of the browser.
• Actions at hand: A new top-level entry point, plus a filled Control widget.
• Organization labels: Org-wide labels are now available in the matching repositories too.
• Tidier settings: A clearer structure with well-separated sections.

Improved and fixed:

• Action run status now updates live, with matching icons.
• The editor no longer jumps back to the top while typing.
• Issue dependencies can be added, linked and removed again.
• Added Terms of Use (EULA).
• Many smaller improvements and stability fixes.

### 2.4 — 2026-07-26

New in version 2.4:

• Code editor: edit files right in the app — with syntax highlighting, auto-indentation and direct commit. Creating and deleting files included.
• Full pull request control: change base branch, milestone and reviewers, attach comments to individual diff lines, and update the branch with a tap — with a prominent mergeable status.
• Comments, all around: edit, delete, add emoji reactions, and follow an issue's complete activity timeline.
• Manage releases: edit and delete releases and upload or remove file assets — all inside the app.
• Attachments now show in list overviews, not just in detail.
• Spanish and French localization — gyokuro now speaks four languages.
• Polish: text in detail views now lines up cleanly.

Stability and performance:
• Long lists now load completely — nothing is silently truncated anymore.
• Clearer error messages instead of silently swallowed errors.
• Lower memory use and clean teardown of network connections when switching accounts.

### 2.3 — 2026-07-16

New in this version:

• Edit in place: tap to change titles, descriptions and details in issues, pull requests, repositories and milestones — no separate edit mode.
• Actions: trigger workflows manually, cancel running jobs and follow colored live logs.
• Register, pause and remove Actions runners right in the app.
• Merge several issues into one — attachments included.
• Labels now appear directly in the issue list.
• Updated links to website and support.

Security and stability:
• Self-signed certificates are now safely pinned instead of blindly trusted — great for homelabs.
• Your access token is no longer sent to third-party hosts by mistake.
• Clearer, consistent error messages throughout the app.
• Newly created issues no longer disappear after refreshing.
• Repository editing is correctly marked as a premium feature.

### 2.2 — 2026-06-26

This release makes gyokuro a first-class citizen of the homelab world: self-hosted servers and unusual setups are now properly supported – plus powerful filters and real-time push.

New:
• Self-hoster support: self-signed certificates, mTLS (PKCS#12 client cert), HTTP/SOCKS proxies, custom HTTP headers, and Basic Auth – all configurable per account.
• Optional real-time notifications via your own ntfy or Gotify instance (fully opt-in, no third-party cloud).
• App badge with the unread notification count.
• Granular notification filters per repository and per type (issue, PR, commit, …).
• "Mark all as read" button on the notifications screen.
• Issue and PR filters: combine labels and milestones in the lists (All / No milestone / multiple). gyokuro remembers your preferred filters per repo.
• Big markdown upgrade: code syntax highlighting, alert callouts (NOTE/TIP/WARNING …), checkable task lists, and nested lists.
• Archived repositories sink to the bottom – or hide them entirely if you prefer.
• Repository activity feeds can be hidden so the screen doesn't jump.

Bug fixes:
• Creating a repository now works reliably across server versions (no more 502).
• Issue titles refresh correctly after pull-to-refresh.
• Newly created milestones show up in the list immediately.
