## Version 4
|
|
|
|
Some drastic changes are made in the project since version 4.0:
|
|
- A whole new interface of the Subscriptions page showing only the feeds with tags as filters, no longer having tags as folders in the page,
|
|
- Home, Echo and Inbox pages are removed from the project,
|
|
- Subscriptions is now the default page,
|
|
- Feed list are no longer shown in the drawer,
|
|
- Access to statistics is in the drawer.
|
|
- `OnlineFeedView` activity is stripped down to only receive externally shared feeds,
|
|
- Viewbindings are enabled for most views,
|
|
- Project became mono-modular.
|
|
|
|
Even so, the database remains backward compatible, and AntennaPod's db can be easily imported.
|
|

|
|
* single tap not during play has no effect
|
|

|
|
* if the user customizes "Fallback speed" to a value greater than 0.1, long-press the Play button during play enters the fallback mode and plays at the set fallback speed, single tap exits the fallback mode
