1.92.0-na-rc.2 (New Architecture RC)

Bluesky New Architecture Client Pre-Release

Important

This build may run alongside the production, Google Play version of Bluesky. It is highly recommended that you keep both versions installed, since this version may be prone to bugs or crashes. You will also not receive push notifications when using this build. This version's bundle identifier is xyz.blueskyweb.app.fabric, whereas the production bundle identifier is xyz.blueskyweb.app.

Warning

This build is using the React Native New Architecture. While it is in a functioning state, there will likely be bugs and crashes. Although New Arch support is an active workstream, there will be no immediate support for these issues. Do not use if you are uncomfortable testing beta software!

With that said, we would be extremely grateful for your feedback using these builds. The New Architecture brings a lot of performance improvements that we are excited to get into user hands after thorough testing and development. Your assistance helps move that goal forward!

Fixed Issues

• Composer is scrollable
• Dialogs are scrollable

Known Issues

• Dialogs open to full size when they don't need to
• White bar on drawer in dark mode

1.90.1

What's Changed

• Posts now say how many quotes have been created and include a way to see all the quotes.
• Post authors may now control who may quote their post, and can detach quote posts.
• Thread authors now have the ability to hide replies in their thread.
• Threads now consistently show the parent and original post in the Following feed.
• The Following feed now only shows replies when at least 2 people involved are followed by the viewer. We believe this will reduce the amount of unexpected public attention gained by replies to conversations.
• As a consequence, we simplified the Following Feed preferences to no longer have a "Followed users only" toggle and to no longer have a "number of likes" filter.
• Mute words can now be given a duration and be toggled to not apply to users you follow.
• Some bugfixes that should reduce logouts.
