This is a small hotfix release to fix a crash affecting the download picker.

Changes

• Tentative support for Android 4.0.3-4 (API 15) has been re-dropped. Forgot that this was initially dropped due to a login hanging bug that I was unable to reproduce and fix which still persists. Sorry folks 😞

Bug Fixes

• Fallback to the default download directory when opening the download folder picker if we can't open the directory selected previously. This resolves the crash user's who previously set a directory would encounter when trying to open the directory picker as their chosen directory (relative to the downloads dir) would be interpreted as an absolute path and fail to open.
• Fix login dialog not dismissing when failing to login due to an invalid cookie.

Known Issues

• Very large and complex posts in the forums cause really significant lag when rendering the text.
• If you're loading some page that displays progress in the action bar (or in the page) and change orientation while loading the progress indicator isn't restored. The loading continues but doesn't give proper feedback.

If you previously set a download directory using the old path selection method you should clear your preferences to clear the setting

This is a case I forgot to handle when opening the directory picker and will result in it not opening the right directory (or even crashing) since it interprets the path as absolute. I'll put out a hotfix for this later today as well. Sorry for the inconvenience folks.

Changes

• Add support for copying torrent download urls to the clipboard
• Moved the delete all barcodes menu item into the overflow menu so it's difficult to press accidentally
• Add support for refreshing forums and forum threads
• Pressing the forum navigation item while in the forums will now return you to the forum categories view
• Change download directory preference to use a simple directory picker so it's much easier to find and select the directory you want to save files to. It's also possible to create new directories in the picker
• Drop min API level to 15 (Android 4.0.3-4) for tentative support so more folks can use the app. This build hasn't been tested very extensively but seems okish. Let me know how it works 😄

Bug Fixes

• Use correct titles for the sections when viewing a request
• Fix crash when exiting the settings due to a listener not being removed properly
• Fix crash when changing phone orientation while logging in

Known Issues

• Very large and complex posts in the forums cause really significant lag when rendering the text.
• If you're loading some page that displays progress in the action bar (or in the page) and change orientation while loading the progress indicator isn't restored. The loading continues but doesn't give proper feedback.

Changes

• Add support for specifying the location to save downloaded torrent files on the device. Under settings you'll find a new option titled Torrent Download Path which will let you specify the subdirectory to place downloaded torrents in. The subdirectory will be located under your external downloads storage, eg. if you went to your Downloads folder in a file browser the folder you specified should be located in there.

Bug Fixes

• Update WhatAPI version being used to get a fix for some strange user ratio edge cases.
• Update Universal Image Loader and tweak our settings some to reduce memory usage as some users seem to be encountering out of memory errors. Some more work could probably be done here, the app seems to be quite memory hungry with all the images we display.

Known Issues

• If you're loading some page that displays progress in the action bar (or in the page) and change orientation while loading the progress indicator isn't restored. The loading continues but doesn't give proper feedback.

The app has finally reached a point where all the currently planned features are in and mostly functional, so it's time for a beta release! 😄

Changes

• Migrate update checker to Github.
• When clicking the version number in the settings to force an update check a "Checking for updates" message will now be shown to let folks know what's happening.

Bug Fixes

• Number picker dialog will now start with the current page selected, thanks @krystofspl !
• Thread reply and quote buttons will no longer be shown in locked threads, thanks @krystofspl !
• The "Draft Saved" toast will no longer be shown as it was getting to spammy. Instead the default text in the reply textbox will be more descriptive about drafts being saved automatically.

Known Issues

• Very large and complex posts in the forums cause really significant lag when rendering the text.
• If you're loading some page that displays progress in the action bar (or in the page) and change orientation while loading the progress indicator isn't restored. The loading continues but doesn't give proper feedback.

Reporting Bugs

If you encounter any bugs in this release please report to the forum thread or in the #whatAndroid IRC channel.

Note

This apk does now have the correct version number, although the commit is shown as not part of the tag.

Release Notes

We're migrating over to using the main site url instead of the ssl.* url as both offer the same https encryption and it's a bit nicer to use the main site url. This is changed in pull request #27, thanks @jimrollenhagen!

This release also migrates our update checker into a background service that will push a notification if a new update is available. The service is started when the app is opened and quits after it has checked for updates, so you do still need to open the app to see if an update has been released, but no longer need to worry about missing the update alert panel due to logging in too quickly. Clicking the notification will take you to the Github release page for the release where you can see the release notes and download the new apk. This resolves a usability issue with the alert panel being dismissed too early, issue: #20.
