Dear Mastodon-user, dear (unknown) friend,

welcome to another release of Mastodon for iOS in 2023. This year we've shipped 14 new versions in total so far, including this one. That's why this version is 2023.14. It contains this:

  • We changed the required iOS-version. From now on your device needs to run iOS 16 or later. We checked how many users would be affected by this (spoiler: not many) before making this decision. (GH-1125)
  • Mastodon is more fun with friends! If you don't follow any other accounts (yet), the app suggests some accounts to follow. On that very screen we fixed that the convenient "Follow all"-button is enabled only when there are suggestions (GH-1124)
  • We added another localization: From now on you can use the app in Armenian, too. We also updated the translations. This wouldn't be possible without the help of the amazing community. So: Thank you! (GH-1147)
  • The checkmark next to verified links on a profile got a little visual update (IOS-130)
  • If people want to talk to you because you are a very interesting and lovely person (which is true!) or you post lots of #CatsOfMastodon on #Caturday, you might receive llots of notifications. In that case the little indicator-dot on the Notification-screen-icon is red now (GH-1132)
  • We started to rework the Settings-part of the app and will improve it in the upcoming versions (GH-1073, IOS-14). As a first step, we show information about your instance (IOS-20) and updated the UI.
  • We fixed a crash on the Profile-screen that happened when you wanted to reorder the field in your profile (GH-1154)
  • No more improvements or bug fixes other than those mentioned here (Promise!)
  • The app isn't perfect, we have to admit (although pretty good), so we work on it and steadily improve it. This time, we also fixed a security issue by migrating the credentials over to the encrypted Keychain so that they're safe there. (GH-1131)
  • This might be more interesting for developers: We switched over to fastlane (GH-1130), updated dependencies (GH-1122), cleaned logging (GH-1120) we started to remove Core Data piece by piece (GH-1135, GH-1137, GH-1139)

Thank you for taking the time to read these hand-crafted release notes. You know, that Mastodon and all the servers wouldn't be possible without you, right? Thank you so much for using it and for your ongoing support — we're really grateful for that.

We hope that you've enjoyed this year so far. Take care of yourself and others as life is also more fun and better with friends. You never know how much time is left or what life brings, so please: Make the best out of it. You'll always be remembered.
