v26.0

New features and other improvements

  • The blue primary color that previously was the same for all themes is now slightly lighter in the dark theme and darker in the light theme for better contrast. Consequently, the color that is used on top of the primary color (e.g. on buttons) is now dark instead of white in the dark theme. PR#3921 PR#4507
  • New account preference "default reply privacy". Note that in contrast to the "default post privacy" this setting will not be synced with the server as Mastodon does not have this feature. PR#4496
  • New preference "Show confirmation before following" PR#4445
  • The notification tab is now cached on the device for better offline behavior. Since it shares the cache with the home timeline, interactions with posts will now sync between those tabs more often than before. PR#4026
  • Tusky will now only make one call to the server to check which version of the filters api is supported and cache the result instead of everytime filters are needed. PR#4539
  • The "Hide compose button while scrolling" preference, which had the main purpose of making content behind the button accessible, has been removed and bottom padding added to all lists that could be obscured by buttons. PR#4486
  • When viewing media of a translated post the media descriptions will now also be translated PR#4463
  • The custom emojis in the emoji picker are now sorted by category PR#4533
  • Various internal refactorings to improve performance and maintainability. PR#4515 PR#4502 PR#4472 PR#4470 PR#4443 PR#4441 PR#4461 PR#4447 PR#4411 PR#4413

v25.1

Significant bug fixes

v25.0

New features and other improvements

  • Added support for the Mastodon translation api. You can now find a new option "translate" in the three-dot-menu on posts that are not in your display language when your server supports the translation api. Support is determined by checking the configuration.translation.enabled attribute of the /api/v2/instance endpoint. PR#4307
  • The language of a post is now shown in the metadata section of the detail post view, if it is available. PR#4127
  • The transitions between screens have been changed to feel faster and align more with default Android transitions. PR#4285
  • The post statistic section below the detail post view is now always shown to prevent layout shifts on the first like or boost. PR#4205 PR#4260
  • The filters for boosts/replies/self-boosts in the home timeline have moved from general preferences to account specific preferences. PR#4115
  • The json parsing library has been migrated from Gson to Moshi. This change will make Tusky no longer crash on unexpected server responses. PR#4309
  • Small layout improvements to the header of the profile view PR#4375 PR#4371
  • support for Android 14 Upside Down Cake PR#4224
  • Various internal refactorings to improve performance and maintainability. PR#4269 PR#4290 PR#4291 PR#4296 PR#4364 PR#4366 PR#4372 PR#4356 PR#4348 PR#4339 PR#4337 PR#4336 PR#4330 PR#4235 PR#4081

  • A memory leak has been fixed. This should improve stability and performance. PR#4150 PR#4153
  • Emojis are now correctly counted as 1 character when composing a post. PR#4152
  • Fixed a crash when text was selected on some devices. PR#4166
  • The icons in the help texts of empty timelines will now always be correctly aligned. PR#4179

New features and other improvements

  • The video player has been upgraded to Google Jetpack Media3; video compatibility should be improved, and you can now adjust playback speed. PR#3857
  • New theme option to use the black theme when following the system design. PR#3957
  • Following the system design is now the default theme setting. PR#3813
  • A new view to see trending posts is available both in the menu and as custom tab. PR#4007
  • A new option to hide self boosts has been added. PR#4101
