Changelog

0.14.0

Added

  • Comment Replies: Implemented a comment reply feature. Users can now reply to specific messages, with a link that scrolls to the original message.
  • Authenticated Media: Added support for fetching media from private Matrix rooms for authenticated users.
  • Internationalization (i18n): Introduced multilingual support, allowing the UI language to be configured. Shipped with English and Chinese translations.
  • Read-Only Mode: Added a commentEnabled configuration option to disable commenting, providing a read-only view of the comment section.

Changed

  • Performance: Overhauled media caching by replacing the localStorage system with a more robust IndexedDB implementation, significantly reducing redundant downloads and improving load times.
  • Performance: Eliminated comment section flickering during updates (e.g., loading more comments, posting) by using keyed rendering. This preserves the playback state of embedded media.
  • UI: Improved the reply functionality with rich-text hover previews, SVG icons, message highlighting on scroll, and better <blockquote> styling.

Fixed

  • "View More" Spam: Prevented duplicate comments from being loaded by disabling the "View more" button during both initial and subsequent comment fetches.
  • Reply Tooltips: Fixed issues where reply tooltips would overlap with the browser's native title attribute and would not disappear correctly on mobile devices.
  • Layout & Styling: Resolved various CSS issues, including:
    • Code blocks and audio players overflowing their containers.
    • Incorrect wrapping for inline code.
    • Poorly rendered tooltips in dark mode.
    • Incorrect icon sizes and whitespace in the reply editor.
