Bubble v11.0 — This is a small feature update with a couple of useful additions. Automatic Comment Order There is a new option for sorting comments in discussion threads: "⇅ Automatic" chooses the sort order based on which order is used in the post feed. When using the default chronological post order, threads display also chronologically in natural reading order. However, when using the Activity or Hotness sorting modes, comments are displayed newest-first. I've been using this myself with…

Bubble v10.0 — Confirming Notification Email Addresses It is now mandatory to confirm that an email address works before Bubble will send notifications to it. Previously, one could have entered any address, with typos or intentional malice, and the system would happily spam the address indefinitely. The confirmation process is very simple: when you set the notification email address, Bubble sends a confirmation message with a link back to the Bubble instance. Opening the link marks the…

Lagrange v1.20.3 released, new mobile builds available — After a couple of hotfixes, here is a bit more substantial update for v1.20: Fixed a crash when hovering the mouse over an empty bookmark folder in the Bookmarks menu. CJK IME support has been improved in text input fields. (Patch contributed by Sidney Cammeresi.) Added a new toggle to enable or disable the SOCKS proxy while retaining its server address. Localhost addresses (numeric IP or "localhost") now always bypass the SOCKS proxy....

Lagrange 1.19.4 released — This is a patch release that fixes a couple of serious issues on Windows. In version 1.19, I switched the Windows build toolchain to MinGW, which means that the resulting binary links directly against the platform libraries and Microsoft C runtime without an extra POSIX layer in between. However, I had neglected to update some of the file path operations so that they would apply the appropriate Unicode character encoding. Consequently, paths with non-ASCII characters...

Lagrange 1.19.3 released, updated mobile builds — This is a patch release mostly targeting various issues on the desktop. The mobile builds do benefit from the updated Emoji font, of course: Updated bundled Noto Emoji font (Unicode 17). Changed priority for focusing search fields: focus the page contents search field unless the sidebar has focus. Fixed garbled stereo Opus playback. Fixed media type associated with .opus file extension. Fixed opening Opus audio as an inline player. TUI: Fixed...

Lagrange 1.18.7 released, updated mobile betas — There are new builds of Lagrange available. This release contains bug fixes: Revised handling of reserved URI characters according to RFC 3986. The previous behavior did not fully conform to the standard. (The RFC says that one must not encode or decode the reserved characters for normalization purposes.) Fixed opening some WebP images. There was a problem checking for the "image/webp" media type: if the media type had additional parameters (...

Updated UI translations. In the...

Lagrange 1.18.4 released, new mobile builds — There are new builds of Lagrange available. All platforms Added option to disable page width expansion to fit long lines. Limited page width expansion to 33% so room is left for the current title in the margin. Audio player UI shows number of downloaded bytes if length of audio is still unknown. Strip CR characters in content pasted to input fields. Line breaks are expected to be just LFs. Fixed use of non-Gemini search URLs. (Do not force-...

Lagrange 1.18.2 released, mobile builds updated — I've done the whole gamut of builds tonight: desktop, terminal, and mobile. The changes are listed below. All platforms Misfin: URI format has changed to "misfin:address?message" instead of the previously used "misfin://address". The optional query string ("message") is used as the initial message contents if the upload dialog's text editor is empty....

Bubble v9.0: Edit Links — Titan Edit Links A new setting has been added for enabling Titan edit links in the post composer. This allows convenient editing of posts and comments via Titan. A Titan edit link includes the URL parameter "edit". This parameter instructs the server to respond with the latest version of the edited resource and, optionally, lock it until the updated contents are uploaded. The client is then expected to immediately forward the contents to a text editor, and submit the...

This patch tidies up a few details in the v1.18.0 release: Fixed a few issues with the TUI build, for example on Arch Linux. Curses will only be linked statically if the `ENABLE_STATIC` option is enabled. (YMMV if static linking actually works on your particular system.) Fixed potentially garbled screen in the TUI build. This was the previously mentioned problem with code optimizations resulting in invalid...

— Lagrange v1.18: TUI and Misfin
Development of version 1.18 has been a slow burn. Over the past year, I've been putting finishing touches on the Curses-based TUI variant and adding support for new Gemini-adjacent protocols. A number of bugs were fixed as well, and I've made several minor improvements in the user interface. What's new? Curses-based TUI (clagrange) as an alternative to the graphical interface. Support for Misfin: mail...

GmCapsule v0.7 Released — I've made a few significant fixes in the GmCapsule server, hence the minor version bump. My server (skyjake.fi / geminispace.org) is already running the new version, so maybe I didn't break anything. 🤞 CGI: Fixed contents of `PATH_INFO`: it is now URL-decoded and the script path is removed so only the part following the script path is included in the environment variable (RFC 3875, section 4.1.5). CGI: `bin_root` applies a wildcard to all found CGI executables so `...

A small but important patch that fixes a significant memory leak. Turns out, there was a reference counting issue related to page contents, so the app was often keeping fetched pages in memory indefinitely. Yikes. Fixed memory leak: fetched pages were not always released from memory (reference miscount). Fixed minor memory leak in list widgets. Gopher: Autodetect Gemtext files based on file extension. Updated...

Bubble v8.1: Flair Composer, User-Defined and Moderator Flairs — This release fixes a number of bugs and significantly expands the flair mechanism added in v8.0. You now have control over your own flairs via a flair composer UI. The presentation of flairs has been tweaked accordingly. Moderators of a subspace also have new flair-related abilities. Flair Composer The fact that flairs were fully admin-controlled in v8.0 was largely due to implementation details: at that time I didn't have any...

Bubble v8.0: Flairs and Locked Posts — This is a small feature update that adds a couple of moderation tools and fixes a few bugs. Flairs A flair is a free-form text label that appears next to the user's name and provides some additional contextual information about the user. You may be familiar with this concept from sites like Reddit. A flair can only be bestowed on a user by the administator of the Bubble instance. Users themselves, even if they are moderators, cannot assign flairs. Flairs...

A patch release with miscellaneous fixes and improvements. Had a few twists and turns getting this released. Turns out, if you don't touch your dependency build scripts in a few¹ months, they'll definitely be broken when you try to run them again and you've also forgotten how they're supposed to work. The mobile builds were using a version of libiconv that didn't have all the text encodings enabled (CP437 was...

This patch focuses on a few UI glitches and regressions. Removed automatic horizontal scrolling of wide preformatted blocks. Instead, hold down the Shift key to scroll horizontally with the mouse wheel. Fixed an event processing issue where some events were not handled as expected, for instance when opening a link into split view the opened link was not highlighted. Fixed links not reacting to mouse hover after...

Bubble v7.0: Subspace Views, Grouped Posts, New Feed Options and User Actions — It has been four months since the previous Bubble feature update. This is plenty of time to observe how I and others have been using the system and think of potential improvements. This release makes substantial changes to show useful information that was previously unavailable, gives you more control over what is displayed on the front page, and applies a host of smaller tweaks to improve general usability.
