v0.11.0

Gossip Release 0.11.0

Gossip is a nostr client for desktop.

Gossip is open sourced at https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip

This release adds the following major features:

• SECURE DIRECT MESSAGING: NIP-17 DMs (with NIP-44 encryption and NIP-59
  Giftwrap) is fully supported, usable only if both parties have published
  their DM relays in a kind 10050 event. You will get a pending item reminding
  you to setup your DM relays if you haven't yet. Relays now have DM switches.

• LOAD MORE: now loads a fixed count of events, instead of a time period (which
  may have been empty or may have been massive).

• ANNOTATIONS: You may now annotate your messages. If you make a typo, your
  annotation (technically a reply event) will render inside the original message
  in gossip (but will render as a reply in other clients).

Fixes you may notice:

• Fixed around list synchronization
• Fixes around the tagging popup UI/UX
• Improvements in loading thread ancestors, including better feedback
• Nip46 approvals now persist
• Nip46 compatibility improvements
• An event ordering issue was fixed

Additionally:

• Support for wgpu renderer, and new command to set renderer: wgpu_renderer
• Option to render feed in reverse (with newest at the bottom)
• Improved local storage performance
• Fixes around switching feeds and refreshing
• Vertical scroll bar on relay options
• fixed deleting lists
• Thai font is now also supported in the 'lang-cjk' feature
• Blacklisted relay.nostr.band and filter.nostr.wine relay URLs with proliferating path issues
• k tag added to deletion events
• When querying events, we also query their possible deletion events
• Avoid accidently asking for DMs because some relays reject that subscription
• Avoid repeated AUTHs to broken relays that keep asking
• Improvements around which relays we post to
• Improvements about relay connections
• New commands: export_encrypted_key, import_encrypted_private_key
• UI/UX updates to notifications
• Setting for custom mouse acceleration
• Allow DPI setting up to 400
• UI/UX improvements to widgets and styles
• Updates to dependencies
• Render unknown event kinds better
• Lots more, see changelog-0.11.0.txt for all commit messages

v0.10.1

Changes in this patch release:

• Fixed multiple PersonList syncing bugs
• nip46 approvals now persist
• nip46 service works with more implementations
• Two events with the same timestamp will no longer clobber each other in feeds
• Broken embedded reposts will show an error (rather than an empty post)
• About page says "gossip" now instead of "gossip-lib"
• Relay connection reasons are only shown if Debug Statistics are turned on
• Some log level changes

0.9

Upgrade Instructions

• SQLite 3 code has been removed. If you are running version 0.7.x of gossip, you need to run a 0.8.x version of gossip at least once in order to keep your old data. Otherwise you can just start fresh.

New Features

• Person Lists:
  • Curate your own lists of people
  • View a feed of just those people
  • Save to nostr events, synchronize with other nostr clients.
  • Mark members private to save secretly in encrypted contents.
• Onboarding wizard: Steps a new user through what is needed to get set up
• Support for the new nostr CLOSED message.
• Tagging now works by just typing an '@' and the name and picking from a popup list.
• Restyle of DM Chat
• Restyle of Profile pages
• New login page
• Improvements to event deletion (multiple issues resolved)
• "show more" on long notes
• scrolling improvements
• name improvements (which name to use)
• Better tracking of threads and replies (reposts, replies via 'a')
• Command line commands: reprocess_recent, print_followed, print_muted, bech32_decode, bech32_encode_event_addr, print_relay, add_person_relay, print_person, import_event, print_person_lists, add_person_list, rename_person_list,
• Relay communications are kinder to relays
• Documentation reworked
• TLS now defaults to rust code, but native (operating system provided) root certificates.
• Restructured as a library and a binary, so that people who want a different UI are free to replace the UI while continuing to use the underlying library.
• Lots of little things I didn't bother to add to this list. See the git history for the whole truth.
