## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.6 — 2026-05-19

This update makes uCitizen feel more active, open, and useful across Uganda.

What’s new:

- Improved Feeds discovery with fresher posts from nearby users, people you follow, and wider Ugandan communities.
- Video feeds now use smarter recommendations, just like mixed feeds.
- Feed posts now support up to 4 images with cleaner display and browsing.
- Marketplace, food vendors, garages, and events now expand beyond nearby results so screens do not feel empty when your immediate area is quiet.
- Better feed refresh and continuous scrolling.
- Improved session handling so users stay signed in longer after inactivity.
- Ranking improvements to reduce spam/reported content and surface more relevant posts.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-03-12

-Community-driven moderation: Report spam/inappropriate content with a required reason. Heavily reported content is automatically limited or sent for review, and creators can request review/appeal.
-Trust-based reporting: Reports are weighted using a trust score to reduce abuse and improve moderation accuracy.
-Feeds boost + discovery: Creating notices/events, listings, storefronts, lost & found, and vendor items now also creates a labeled feed item with a direct link to the original content—so updates aren’t buried.
-Feed anti-flood controls: Prevents one user from flooding city feeds (rate limits + per-author caps) while keeping scrolling smooth.
-IPad/large-screen upgrades: Better layouts for filter-heavy screens and improved readability on larger screens.
-Stability and performance improvements.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-03-05

No release notes.
