The release of three Israeli female prisoners in Gaza by Hamas’s military wing, the Qassam Brigades, in exchange for 90 Palestinian detainees, triggered a media frenzy in the occupation state.

The dramatic “scene” – fighters emerging amidst the ruins of war, surrounded by a jubilant crowd – undermined official Israeli narratives about the war, its goals, and the treatment of Israeli captives. It raised a sobering question for Israelis: What were we doing in Gaza for 15 months?

The Qassam Brigades orchestrated every detail of the event to maximize impact. From the branded gift bags to the polished uniforms of the fighters, the display exuded calculated precision. A military procession was even held in Saraya Square – an area heavily besieged by

This release updates the haptic feedback in the app, adding more haptic feedback to actions and adjusting some of the haptics that already exist. It also adds a new settings screen specifically for adjusting haptic feedback.

Full changelog

• Added a new settings page dedicated to haptic feedback.
• Added haptics to more actions.
• Adjusted strength of haptic feedback to be inline with Android's guidelines.
• Added a new experimental feature that automatically marks duplicate posts as read. A duplicate post is a post that has been posted to another instance that is essentially the same as a post that has been read. This feature is off by default.
• Fixed a bug where links cannot be opened if the preview link setting is set to "Preview all".
• Fixed a bug where thumbnails sometimes won't load.
• Fixed a bug where the last swipe action on a post is accidentally replayed.

Update

Noticed that not all thumbnail links were fixed. Pushing another release (v1.52.1) to fix even mo

Kitty v0.39.0 was released with 12 changes not including any major new feature on 2025/01/16

We have 3 new additions, 3 changes and 9 changes included in version v0.15.0 released on 2025/01/14

This release polishes different aspects of the UI. The main changes are to improve contrast in various parts of the app for both light and dark themes.

Full changelog

• Added a setting to disable the text preview icon for certain post feed views.
• Added support for haptic feedback on action buttons in the post feed/post screen.
• Added a setting to enable/disable haptic feedback.
• Fixed a bug where shadow is cut off from the link button in a post.
• Experimental: Added special support for loops.video links.
• Improved the contrast for the search bar in light themes.
• Changed some image thumbnails to be rounded and also have a slight border for contrast.

I will be doing a release since the release contains a lot of QoL improvements so it makes sense to push this out sooner rather than later.

Full changelog

• Updated the behavior of the "go to" context button in the message inbox screen. Tapping the button to go to a comment will now load the post with just the comment chain by default, with the comment highlighted.
• Fixed a bug where tapping the add link button on the community editor will not actually insert a link.
• Changed the behavior of updating a community. The community info screen will auto-refresh if the community is updated.
• Fixed a bug where the colors used for the image viewer were wrong in light theme.

Welcome to possibly the last major release of the year! As the end of the year approaches, I am planning on taking a short break from developing Summit in favor of going out more and also catching up on some video games.

This update refreshes the layouts of the various card layouts in the app. It aims to make distinguishing between different cards easier and also improving the general look of things.

This update also fixes various bugs as well.

As this update changes the UI of the app, I would greatly appreciate any feedback on the changes. Of course if you have feedback about the UI in any part of the app please feel free to post those too!

Full Changelog

• Updated designs for layouts Card, Card 2 and Card3.
• Fixed a bug where images within tables do not load.
• Fixed a bug where post data does not update after a comment is posted.
• Fixed a bug where post content will sometimes flicker even if nothing has changed.
• Fixed a bug where the shadows of the card layouts were cr

This is a pretty big release and there isn't really a theme. It's just a lot of features people have asked for. Enjoy!

P.S. this release changes some of the default settings in the app. In particular they enable multi-line headers in post comments and also profile pictures for the commenter. This is mostly due to screen space usage. After a ton of testing, I think these new defaults should make better use of the screen space and reduce issues with information being truncated. All of these changes can be reversed in the settings if you do not like them.

Full changelog

• Added "Change password" option to the account settings page.
• Added an option to only expand one comment thread when viewing a single comment.
• Added a setting to show/hide the scroll bar on the post feed.
• Added support for user tags.
• Changed the inbox message screen. Sending a reply on the message screen will cause the context screen to update with the comment once it is posted.
• Fixed a bug where comments

The second release of DXVK-Sarek, my fork of DXVK tailored for users stuck on the 1.10.x branch, is here! This version introduces D3D8 support and several backported features and fixes to improve compatibility and functionality.

Changelog:

D3D8 Support

• Backported the D3D8 dxvk frontend.
  • Note: Some games, such as Cossacks II and Impossible Creatures, crash on swapchain resize. Unfortunately, this is an unavoidable consequence of the older D3D9 code.

D3D9 Improvements:

• Backported support for the D3D9 software curs

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m excited to share my Unofficial DXVK 1.10.x Build on the DXVK-Sarek repo. Designed for users still relying on the 1.10.x release but want the benefits of some modern fixes. This custom build backports per-game configurations and fixes, and later it will be integrated into my custom Proton version, Proton-Sarek, aimed at low end PCs.

What's New in This Build:

• Backports & Updates: I've integrated fixes and updated configurations from newer DXVK builds into the 1.10.x branch. This includes support for 64+ games with bac

This release adds a new section to the app: the You screen. This screen will be a new default in the bottom navigation bar. It replaces both the history and saved options. The You screen will contain short cuts to a wide range of other parts of the app related to the user of the app. This includes links to settings, browsing history, saved, upvoted/downvoted and even drafts. Hopefully this screen will make certain feature easier to access and also easier to discover.

Full changelog

• Added a new "You" screen.
• Added new "Upvoted" and "Downvoted" screens to the You screen. These screens display a list of all posts/comments upvoted by the current account.
• Added a new "Drafts" screen to the You screen. This is meant to be a shortcut and a way to manage drafts.
• Disabled predictive back on Android 14. This is due to various bugs I found with predictive back on Android 14. Predictive back will be enabled on Android 15 devices.
• Added a setting in Settings > Post feed to modify the

This release implements the proposal discussed here: https://lemmy.world/post/21570953.

This release overhauls the search screen to show subscribed communities and community suggestions based on what is popular or trending at the moment.

Note: Suggestions shown in the search screen will be based on data gathered from Lemmy servers (more precisely they are based off of https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer). They are not from data generated from the client. The app does not track/send data to any servers aside from Lemmy & Firebase (for crash/app stability tracking, you can opt-out in settings).

The backend portion that will drive community suggestions feature is open source. You can view it here: https://github.com/idunnololz/summit-for-lemmy-server.

The backend is currently hosted on a Digital Ocean droplet and costs $8/mo. If anyone wants to donate to help cover this cost that would be appreciated but otherwise I can swallow the cost as it's not a large amount.

**Full changelog

This update adds full support for the Android feature Predictive Back. Unfortunately this feature is only supported on newer versions of Android (Android 14 and above) so if you are on an older version of Android you will not notice a difference.

Full changelog

• Fixed a bug where changing accounts will not scroll the account list to the top.
• Added full support for predictive back. Note that this fixes several bugs that are only seen on Android 14.
• Fixed a bug where posts/comments are saved as a draft even if they are posted/sent.
• Fixed a bug on some devices where can get stuck in the compose comment screen.

Update

I found some bugs in the release so I will be releasing a small bug fix update shortly. Changes:

• Fixed a bug where posts/comments are saved as a draft even if they are posted/sent.
• Fixed a bug on some devices where can get stuck in the compose comment screen.

Update 2

Fully rollout of the release is now complete.

First release since I've gotten back from vacation. This release addresses a good chunk of the user requests. There are some big ones left over that will be addressed in future releases.

Full changelog

• Updated the UI for the emoji picker.
• Updated the UI for deleted/removed posts so it has a distinct looked.
• Added a new setting to disable markdown parsing for post titles.
• Added a menu option to post/comments to copy it's contents.
• Added a settings screen for the emoji picker, allowing users to modify or add emojis.
• Added a setting to adjust the image size in the post feed.

• Added missing translations for Czech, German, Hindi, Italian, Swedish, and Turkish using Google Cloud Translations.
• Cleaned up the settings for post/comment scores. Changed settings so that there is one setting for post scores and one for comment scores. There are three p

Hi folks, a new beta has been release today! It contains some updates to the "App information" dialog (e.g. the link to the new Matrix room) and a fix for the selection of the feed type in the home screen, which incorrectly opened the instance selection.

I'm continuing the migration of all bottom sheets to Material 3 modal bottom sheets, there are just 9 left for the refactoring to be complete.

Thanks to everyone for continuing using the app, have a nice weekend and remember #livefasteattrash 🦝🦝🦝

Welcome to v1.43.0. This release adds a feature I've thought about since the start of the project but just never implemented: account creation! In v1.43.0 new users to Lemmy will be able to go through the entire account creation process (minus email verification) from the app.

The hope with this feature is that it will help reduce Lemmy's sign up friction even further, especially for Summit users.

Full changelog

• Added a create account option to the sign in screen.
• Changed the quote button when creating a comment. If text is selected from the "replying to" box when the quote button is tapped, that text will automatically be populated within the quote block.
• Fixed a crash that occurs when images are uploaded using Imgur.
• Fixed a bug where read posts appear as unread if a post is hidden.
• Fixed an issue where the title of a post is not shown in the detailed view.
• Improved the current community UI
• Updated the community icons across the app to be more consistent. The ap

I have some plans for v1.43 that I will add here later. For now, I'm just going to be doing some quick bug fixes. I've been fairly busy in my personal life outside of work so I haven't had as much time to work on Summit. Progress is still being made, just slightly slower. I will also be going on vacation from the beginning of October. My extreme stretch goal would be to release v1.43 well before I go on vacation so I have some time to polish the release before I'm on vacation but we shall see if that's feasible.

Changes so far

• Fixed a crash that occurs when images are uploaded using Imgur.
• Fixed a bug where read posts appear as unread if a post is hidden.
• Changed the quote button when creating a comment. If text is selected from the "replying to" box when the quote button is tapped, that text will automatically be populated within the quote block.
• Fixed an issue where the title of a post is not shown in the detailed view.

Update

Whoops I accidentally put [Release] in

Last release added some features I wanted in the app. So to balance it out, this release will be focused on adding features users want.

I got a large influx of feature requests which is great.

Since there are so many feature requests I am going to break this release into multiple smaller parts. This way I can push out new features as they are implemented instead of doing a massive release all at once.

Full changelog

• Added a setting to control whether videos should auto-play. Default true.
• Added new comment count to posts.
• Added a view to the post screen if there are no comments.
• Added a setting to enable uploading images to Imgur.
• Added a setting to control how many animations are enabled within the app
• Added a setting to adjust the caching policy for the app. The options are aggressive, moderate (default), lite and minimum. Aggressive will cause the cache to be used more often resulting in better performance but things might be stale. Minimum will greatly reduce w
