1 +Ripcord version 0.4.25 (2020-5-22)
2 +----------------------------------
3 +
4 +This update to Ripcord fixes username & password sign-in for Slack. It also includes a few smaller fixes, a couple of small new features, and tons and tons of internal changes and cleanups.
5 +
6 +Instead of growing in size and slowness, with each of the last few updates, Ripcord has gotten smaller and faster.
7 +
8 +### General
9 +
10 +* Added an option to control whether or not to always open the Accounts tab on launch.
11 +* Added a warning label for the "Absolutely minimize data usage" preference option indicating it will cause images to not be downloaded.
12 +
13 +### Slack
14 +
15 +* Updated username & password sign-in/authentication method to deal with changes to Slack's web service.
16 + * Signing in a new account or re-authenticating with a username & password hasn't worked for the last couple of weeks. Now it works again.
17 + * Browser import still worked the whole time, and continues to work.
18 +* Fixed a case where workspace team names with an ampersand in them were not the having HTML-like junk sent by the server stripped out of them.
19 +* Many more internal changes to Ripcord in preparation of future features.
20 +
21 +### Discord
22 +
23 +* Improved handling of cached data in situations where the Discord server closes the socket and fails to resume the session upon the client reconnecting.
24 + * This should reduce the occurrences of seeing empty data in Ripcord after a connection failure and reconnection.
25 + * There's still lots more rewriting to be done here, so it's not perfect.
26 +* Fixed rejection of 2 character long invite codes.
27 +* Fixed rejection of invites codes that contained _ and - characters.
28 +* Added support for discord.com invite links.
29 +* Updated some hostname usage to discord.com instead of discordapp.com.
30 +* Added a confirmation dialog when kicking a user from a Discord guild.
31 +* Removed the now-useless "Data" column from the Discord server list management view.
32 + * This has been useless for the last few versions, but I forgot to remove it from the UI.
33 +* Improved overall efficiency of Discord protocol data handling code.
34 + * Slightly lower background CPU usage.
35 +* Overhaul of several internal data handling systems.
