Version 1.11.2

Submitted: March 1st, 2013 → App Store: March 12th, 2013

New Features

Improvements

  • Tap on folder behavior can be changed in the Miscellaneous settings: display articles or open folder
  • Theme Editor: The color and style (bold + underline) of links in the article view can be set
  • Accessibility improved (VoiceOver)
  • 'Launch 1Password' added to most login dialogs (only when 1Password v4 is installed)
  • Service Templates: New tag/placeholder [AUTHOR] introduced to insert the article author if available
  • Added a button to insert the article author in the Twitter, App.net, Buffer and Toodledo dialogs
  • Added a button to insert the original URL to the Twitter, App.net and Buffer dialogs. For most users it was unknown that the original URL (instead of the shortened URL) could be inserted with a tap and hold on the 'Link' button.
  • Replaced the insert value buttons (Source, Title, ...) in the Twitter, App.net and Buffer dialogs with a keyboard extension. I was running out of space displaying all of this buttons.

Fixes

  • Twitter: Upgraded to the Twitter API v1.1. v1.0 retires in March 2013.
  • Twitter: Now I'm updating the t.co link lengths once a day by asking Twitter. Previously it was hard coded. Did not thought that Twitter will change them that often. ;-)
  • App.net code migrated. There are some API changes that will take effect on March 20, 2013
  • Posterous removed. The Posterous API is broken since December 2012 (500 Internal Error), and it will turn off on April 30, 2013
  • Article View: The sharing menu button no longer uses the selected text. Was a relict and responsible for a unwanted behavior when some text was selected but no service configured to process it (opened Safari).
  • Article View: Now the header values (title, author) can be selected for example for copy & paste or the text selection actions
  • Article View: No more text on the right side of an image if it is larger than 3/4 of the current set article width
  • Zoom Image: My Thumbpad could be used while the Zoom Image dialog was in display. It did not show the buttons, but the functionality was executed. :-(
  • Articles Table: After a rotation the shadows at top and bottom were occasionally not displayed in full length
  • Error message added when the image saving failed due to missing access rights (iOS Settings App -> Privacy -> Photos)
  • Portrait mode: A tap on the unused space in the folders/feeds table toggles the articles table position. But it was in an undefined state when you moved the articles table manually at this time.
  • Article View (only iOS 5): Tapping a link to open a installed App (via App URL scheme) did not open the App and a error message was shown (e.g. Drafts action import URL's).
  • Used the wrong 'return' key description in the multiline message fields of the Twitter, App.net and Tumblr dialogs (was 'Done')
  • Articles Table: Fixed the ugly cut off of the last line when you used multiline titles and a small row height

Version 1.11.1

  • Message (SMS): Now you can open it also from the text selection menu, but only when the tag [TEXT-SELECTED] is used in it's template
  • Text selection menu: When there is only one service able to process the text selection, it gets displayed by name instead of 'More Actions'
  • Service configurations: Added links to the Browser, App and Mail Action documention websites
