New

Support for Lemmy 0.19
Lots and lots of refactoring cleaning up technical debt
Added "Account settings" to replace "Lemmy Settings"
- This new section syncs up with your Lemmy account
- A few things will need updating such as your nsfw setting and sort

Changes

Any action that fail now alerts the user via notification
Show / hide NSFW has been moved to Settings > Account settings (this now respects your account choice)
Sort has been moved to Settings > Account settings (this also now respects your account choice)
Removed "mark posts as read" and "remember across devices" as Lemmy does this automatically

App crashes on launch after update for me repeatedly after it scanned my fingerprint. After a successful scan it sat on the main page with no content loading, and no buttons working for a half second or so before the crash.

Couldn't get past it with a force close or a clear cache. I had to wipe the apps data which logged me out and reset my settings, and then I was able to log in again.

On a Samsing S22 Ultra running Android 13 OneUi 5.1

Did you have obscure usernames is account picker enabled?

My name was starred out in the left pull out menu so I believe so yes.

I think that's what's causing the crash. I made a bug report.

Edit: after some testing I've confirmed this
