Patchwork v3.18.1-beta.1 Release Notes
Release Date: 2020-11-05 // over 3 years ago-
✅ 🎉 Thanks for downloading and testing Patchwork! BUT... 🎉
This is a beta release, so beware and prepare to debug things! 😛
✅ We created this beta version to test @staltz' amazing work on ssb-keys-neon. This replaces the javascript implementation of ssb-keys with a Rust implementation wrapped into Neon bindings.If you do try this out, please reach out if anything goes wrong.
This is especially interesting if you're running an ARM or other architecture, or other non-"standard" hard- or software. Since this tech is relatively new (at least to us, but also in general) we want to make sure it does not break patchwork for everyone.🌐 There is also a new translation in Farsi thanks to @dev0p0. If you speak Farsi, do give it a spin and report typos/corrections.
Please understand that the devs of Patchwork don't speak Farsi, but we'll try to accommodate any issues/discussions around this too of course.Install

➕ Added
- 👌 Support for DHT invites as generated by manyverse (#1246) added by @staltz. This is the headline feature of this release. DHT invites are one of the more promising ways to improve the onboarding experience without a pub. We invite everyone to test this feature out. Invite a friend or family member to SSB, tell us how it worked, we're eager to iterate on this!

- ➕ Add Dracula-inspired theme (#1294, #1295)
- 🍎 You can now type
/profileinto the search bar to visit your own profile. (#1287) Handy in combination with usingCtrl+L(Cmd+Lon MacOS) to activate the search bar. - When using
Ctrl/Cmd+Returnto publish a message, a second push ofCtrl/Cmd+Returnwill now confirm the publication, whileEscor simplyReturn(without theCtrl/Cmdmodifier) will cancel the publish and return back to editing the message (#1286)
