#Fedilab 3.43.1 has been published. This is a small release to fix the "Catte bomb". Don't open those threads without the fix, otherwise the app will freeze :) This release also fixes quotes in notifications where the CW couldn't be opened.

The latest release of #Fedilab clearly shows an improvement with OOM (out of memory) bugs. I won't call it a victory, but it's a clear improvement.

#Fedilab 3.43.0 is available! It now targets Android 16, with lower memory usage and better stability for long sessions. Timelines load faster with a large cache, and you can set how long cached posts are kept. Also fixed: voice recording, audio picker, animated GIFs, push on non-Mastodon software, account switching crashes and more.

I moved the #HolosSocial projects (app, relay and discover, to stay consistent) to my own git at https://git.holos.social/tom79 As a reminder about this choice: I used an AI to write part of the #Holos docs, and also to review and help me fix some code I had written. At first I didn't feel concerned by the debate (no vibe coding on my side), but it went further than that. Out of respect for everyone using my work, transparency and action were needed. #Fedilab isn't affected and stays on #Codeberg.

RE: https://toot.fedilab.app/@apps/116981481074984752

There are three ways to get #Fedilab beta releases:

The beta channel on Google Play, by opting in from the app description
#FDroid through our custom repo https://fdroid.fedilab.app
The APK attached to the release notes

PS: all these APKs are signed by me. If you have an F-Droid version, you first need to export your data in settings, remove the app (due to the signature mismatch), install, then import your previous data from the login page. Everything will be restored immediately.

#Fedilab 3.43.0-beta-1 has been published in the dev channel. This release now targets Android 16, which is why I'm releasing it as a beta first. To beta testers: could you check that you don't have any layout issues with this version? Thanks! Release notes: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/releases/tag/3.43.0-beta-1

@HurricaneWeasel@mastodon.world joined the #Fedilab account at @apps@toot.fedilab.app. You might already know him, he's the same person managing issues on #Codeberg. His help with the account will be really valuable to me. The idea is to better handle issues reported on the #Fediverse and in our repo. When we post, we'll try as much as possible to sign our messages. So, welcome Marco and thank you! Tom

I'll soon publish a beta release of #Fedilab with several fixes:

IPv4 fallback when IPv6 fails (mostly over WiFi, with an infinite loader)
Cache improvements (faster loads even with a heavy cache)
Memory leak fixes

The target version will also be Android 16, which removed the edge-to-edge opt-out that Fedilab used.

Recent reports I received for #Fedilab were mostly about OOM (out of memory) bugs. I re-enabled LeakCanary to track them down and fixed four leaks that kept the app holding onto memory while navigating between activities. People who never kill the app may have run into those crashes. The next release should be more stable.

I've started improving #Fedilab, especially some old annoying bugs, such as issues with certain instances not working over WiFi, or the app being slow to load timelines due to too much cache. I recently got some reports, but most of them are missing the attachment (crash report). That's my fault: the ACRA lib is outdated. After that, I'll start fixing the issues reported on Codeberg.

Scheint echt ein Problem meiner #Friendica Instanz-Settings in Verbindung mit #Fedilab zu sein. Bin aber zu unwissend, da die richtigen Einstellungen zu finden. Bei Raccoon rennt der Server nicht ins Worker-Limit. Aber wahrscheinlich lande ich eh wieder bei der Mobile-Ansicht übers Smartphone. 😀

RE: https://mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/116937094959319831 While most of you know my main account for #Fedilab, months ago I wanted to work on something new. Being able to publish this code in production is an important step for me. Yes, it is possible to run an #ActivityPub server on your phone, with #E2EE DMs and a portable identity. And you are no longer tied to a single model like text, media or video. No need for separate apps: one account does it all, and you switch in one tap. Only your device owns the data, and the rules are on your side.

#Fedilab has started showing me old notifications at the top of the notifications tab, but different ones each time, so it is very disorienting to try to figure out what people are replying to before I notice a 2023 date stamp on it.

On holiday, I had the chance to reproduce an issue with IPv6 and #Fedilab. It all happened through a WiFi repeater: the app got stuck on each start because IPv6 was available but not routable. I used this opportunity to fix it and let the app gracefully fall back to IPv4 when it happens.

My biggest frustration with #Fedilab is that it won't auto resize images like other apps do. And I keep forgetting that it won't, so I then get annoyed when I finally figure out why the post hasn't posted.

I talked about an Open Source AI solution to describe media. But what about audio that writes the text for you? When a description is missing, it lets you speak, writes the text for you, and you confirm. Would you like this in #Fedilab?

Recently I told you about the offline translator available on #FDroid. https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.davidv.translator Currently, translating opens the translator app. The idea is to keep everything inside #Fedilab: the translated text comes straight back into the post, so you never leave the app. You do not even notice it used another app in the background. It is already done in #HolosSocial, and I will add it to Fedilab.

I am a little confused by the reactions to my last suggestion. It makes me wonder if I should also stop #LibreTranslate in #Fedilab, because it also uses AI. But it was already trained. When I use it, I only run it, I do not train it. I would like to hear your views before I decide anything. We can keep talking here calmly, I am really open to it.
