  • v2.7.1 Changes

    February 18, 2018

    ๐Ÿ‘€ For more details, see the full changelog and milestone.

    ๐Ÿš€ This releases mainly fixes bugs that were introduced by previous versions, and comes with very minor improvements to the UI. Among other things, we fixed the unread markers showing multiple times, which in turn fixes memory leaks when keeping The Lounge open for long periods of time (e.g. overnight).

    This simply ensures we did not leave any unattended bugs before going for The Lounge v3.

  • v2.7.0 Changes

    January 28, 2018

    ๐Ÿ‘€ For more details, see the full changelog and milestone.

    The Lounge v2.7.0 is out, and it's a big one! Here is a shortlist of the most notable additions and changes, but as usual, a comprehensive list is available below.

    ๐Ÿ’ป It is now possible to join a channel directly from the UI:

    The + button next to any network opens a form to join a channel.

    Nicks mentioned in messages are now clickable:

    Context menu actions have been improved, and new actions have been added:

    Available actions on nicks in the chat window, and on channels and networks in the channel list

    A long-awaited feature, it is now possible to add customizable strings when auto-completing nicks at the beginning of a message:

    To achieve this, set , in your client settings.

    The user information available when sending the /whois command (or clicking the corresponding action in a user context menu) has been enhanced:

    ๐Ÿ‘ Message styling now supports strikethrough text, monospace font, and additional colors:

    Strikethrough is achieved with Ctrl/โŒ˜ + S. Monospace is achieved with Ctrl/โŒ˜ + M.

    ๐Ÿš€ The Help window gains a version checker, to inform you if a new version was released:

    ๐Ÿš€ By clicking on the "release notes" link that can be seen above, all the details about the current version appear directly in the client:

    ๐Ÿ‘ The link previewer now supports WebP images, as well as audio and video links:

    Another noticeable change is the new message alignment in the main chat window, in order to improve visual experience and reduce flickering when loading a page:

    ๐Ÿ›  There were other changes on the client: accessibility of the application has been improved, notices and errors are now displayed in the current channel (then sent to the corresponding network window when reloading), and many bug fixes.

    ๐Ÿ“š The Lounge v2.7.0 finally comes with its first package API, letting packages register stylesheets in the client. It is in its very early stage at the moment and is subject to change in future releases, so use it at your own risk. There will not be an official documentation before the API stabilizes in v3, but for more information, refer to the corresponding PR.

    The CLI has also been improved:

    • When a password gets changed using the reset command, the new password takes effect immediately, it is not necessary to restart the server anymore.
    • ๐Ÿ“ฆ A new uninstall command has been added to remove themes and packages.
    • ๐Ÿ”ง A new --config/-c option is available to override entries of the configuration file.

    ๐Ÿ—„ โš ๏ธ This version also comes with a few deprecations. All deprecated features are still supported in The Lounge v2.7.0 but be removed from The Lounge v3 (the next version). We recommend upgrading to v2.7.0 before upgrading to the future v3, as v2.7.0 will warn you about deprecated configurations in the server output. Those deprecations are:

    • ๐Ÿ‘Œ Support for Node.js v4 is being removed, making Node.js v6 the oldest version we will support.
    • The LOUNGE_HOME environment variable is getting replaced with THELOUNGE_HOME. Use this in lieu of the deprecated --home option as well.
    • ๐Ÿ“ฆ In the unlikely situation that you are relying on the .lounge_home file (mainly useful for package maintainers), it is being renamed to .thelounge_home.
    • The CLI command is being changed from lounge to thelounge.
    • ๐Ÿšš All options for the start command are being removed, replaced with the --config/-c option mentioned above. For example, --public becomes -c public=true, --port 9001 becomes -c port=9001, etc.
    • ๐Ÿ”ง Referring to themes in the theme option of the configuration file is now done through their name, not their CSS file name.

    And finally... The Lounge has its own logo! ๐ŸŽ‰

    A huge thank you to Francesca Segantini, the artist who designed it! We will start rolling out our new logo in all the relevant places as of The Lounge v3. In the meantime, you can find details about the logo (and stickers!) on the corresponding issue.
