Setting a language on post/comments have been a part of Summit for a while but due to it's simple implementation it was a hassle to actually use.

This update greatly improves the experience around discussion languages.

This update also adds a lot of other small features and bug fixes.

Full changelog

  • Update tap-to-close image viewer gestures. Show/hide UI gesture has been moved to long press so that double-tap can be used for zoom in/out. This change only affects users with the tap-to-close image viewer setting enabled.
  • Add link option to unwrap a proxied image url. This option is only shown if the URL is detected to be a proxied image URL.
  • Change Summit to respect the repeat count in animated image formats. Eg. GIFs that have repeat once in the metadata are only played once.
  • Add support for the "transfer community ownership" mod action.
  • Update language chooser UI to be easier to use. Language chooser now has a search bar, and it will display up to 5 recently chosen languages.
  • Add a per-account default language choice on posts/comments.
  • Fix a bug where editing a post/comment will not automatically set the language.
  • Fix the mention context menu opening in a random part of the screen. It now correctly opens below the item that was long pressed.
  • Fix a crash when viewing an image full screen on older devices.

Update Fixed a bunch of crashes from my backlog of crashes. Some other bug fixes too. Releasing as v1.86.1.

  • Fix a crash when restoring the app when scroll between posts is enabled.
  • Fix a crash when opening an image full screen when browsing a multi-community.
  • Fix a rare crash that can occur when bookmarking a community.
  • Fix a bug where the community icon is shown instead of the poster's icon in the post list if post layout is set to list and the user is on a specific community page.
  • Fix a bug with some spoiler tags failing to parse correctly.

Summit has become my favourite browsing app! I only really have one small thing to suggest that could make it even better. I'm browsing with NSFW posts blurred. I also have the default volume on videos set to zero. When I open a NSFW post, I have no idea if it's a video or a picture. If it's a video, it automatically starts playing with sound, regardless of the volume setting being set to zero or not.

Best would be if NSFW videos didn't automatically play when I open them, but at the very least it should respect the volume setting.

    I did not realize this would be added as a comment on the release notes when I submitted it as feedback through the app. I hope it doesn't come across as complaining. I really do love the app, and I appreciate all the hard work that goes into it!
