Latest stable release: 5.6.2

5.6.2

This is a hotfix for the 5.6.1 release, along with a couple of changes that were made over the weekend. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused - and hope that we can get more volunteers testing the betas and nightlies so that we can uncover these problems earlier in the cycle (avoiding another hotfix).

5.6.0-beta.8

We're getting ready for the final 5.6.0 release of Ferdi (πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰)!!!! Hopefully this beta doesn't throw any new surprises, and we can release 5.6.0 later this weekend. 🀞🀞

Use these Links to quickly download the right file for your OS:

What's new? ### Features * Upgraded electron to `13.1.7` * Build Ferdi for linux for `arm64` and `armv7l` architectures ### Minor changes * Fixed issue with setting custom icons for services on Windows * Added helpful hint/urls for users to be able to choose/configure the `user-agent` from external websites for copy-pasting into the preference text box. * Simplified (and removed) custom `user-agent` text. ### Services * Fixed mailbox.org icon * Google calendar, Basecamp had javascript errors which have been solved. This might have a positive effect on the dark mode as well (to be confirmed by beta testers). ### Fixes ### Under the hood * Upgraded nodejs to `14.17.3` * Upgraded various nodejs modules

5.6.0-beta.7

After just over 2 months we're proud to release this new beta version of Ferdi, tons of new features aimed at a better user experience (reduction of paper cuts), bug fixes and 25 new services. We are also proud to announce that we have quite a few new contributors (for both coding and testing) for the latest Ferdi features! Kudos to all of us!

Use these Links to quickly download the right file for your OS:

What's new? ### Features * Exposed the ability for the users to be able to change the `user-agent` (both globally, and per service) via the Settings/Preferences screens. This should allow them to avoid having to touch the recipe/service code in the profile folder and also knowing Javascript * Upgraded electron to `13.1.6` * Expose Chrome version to Todos webview: This should make the Todos behave similar to the other services * Copying into the clipboard now causes a notification on mac - (known bug: this seems to be always on) * Building ferdi on an ARM machine is now fully supported ### Minor changes * Build Ferdi for freeBSD * Removed references to png images since they were not being used anyways. This has the effect of slimming down Ferdi installer bundles! (and for contributors of recipes, you only need to upload a single `svg` file) ### Services * Added new services: snapdrop, amazon-workmail, google-contacts, harvest, Inoreader, Pleroma, line.me, keybase.io, air-droid, basecamp, box, buffer, chatra, easy-redmine, feedbin, iCloud, jollor, nomadlist, paymo, pivotal-tracker, plan, podio, protonet, teamleader, superhuman * Fixed issue with non-sso login for all google services not working due to incompatible user-agent/browser version * Fixed unread counts for: gitter, google hangouts chat, mattermost, messenger, telegram-react, telegram, Rocket.chat * Changed recipes to allow for self-hosted urls: Office365, Gitlab, jitsi, jira, clickup, gCalendar * Steam links will now open in the external default browser. ### Fixes * Fixed left mouse-click behavior on most services to align to user-expectations. More enhancements are in the pipeline. * Fixed issue with permissions not being obtained correctly on macos. ### Under the hood * Moved to Github Actions (and away from Appveyor for windows + TravisCI for mac/linux builds). This has simplified our CI tooling and scripting * Upgraded various nodejs modules * Removed the cyclical dependencies in various javascript files. * Enforce strict adherence to node, npm and node-gyp versions (mainly for contributors). * Improved documentation for new contributors

5.4.1-beta.3

This release fixes a critical issue encountered potentially since 5.4.1-beta.1 that would prevent the application to start (segmentation fault). We believe it was caused by an incompatibility between Electron 7 and Sentry for Electron. We have upgraded both dependencies to include their latest fixes via https://github.com/getferdi/ferdi/commit/06b26716fc90297b4227668c2d6a48e771e02ba7. Minor improvements have been made to the settings Account tab when using Ferdi without an account.

5.4.1-beta.2

⚠️ This pre-release is known to cause a segmentation fault on some machines.
This has been fixed since 5.4.1-beta.3.

~Regarding the Gmail service issues, your Gmail service(s) will need to be re-created as we can't remotely update services for now using the Ferdi API (pending https://github.com/getferdi/server/issues/14).~

5.4.1-beta.1
