Major note, ads removed. They were slowing the app down way too much. If a page needed to load but had an ad, the ad loads first! Crazy stuff, ads are gone.
- Removal of Ads.
- Links in comments work.
- UI tweaks
- Testing new font system, privately. In the near future there will be a setting allowing you to change fonts in settings.
Is that a 5? Have we broken from the endless 2.6.4 pushes? Yes indeed we have. 2.6.5 will add some new features and improve core functionality. But whats in this release.
- Major navigation overhaul under the hood. Navigation should be way snappier
- Memory management improvements. Less of a RAM hog as stale pages (and their resource heavy images) will now either be stored in Cache temporarily or destroyed. But what they won't do is linger in RAM. Deciding the fate of stale resources is determined by available RAM on the device and available CPU cores.
- There's a new initial optimizer in town. On your first launch (or if you never adjusted performance options). The Optimizer will change some settings around for better performance for your hardware.
- Upstream updates.
Expect UI redesigns for Tag view, Users view (non-existent right now), and the pool screen (yes, again)

Afraid you won't be heard? Commenting and Voting has been added.
- Commenting is available [After Login]
- Voting [After Login]
- Login is available, on the beta channel. Blacklist sync is disabled, as its new endpoint is still a mystery.
- Comments restored with some Voodoo hack and slash nonsense.
- Forced Blacklist managed.
- Survived the great API apocalypse of 2020.
- Comments are unavailable as the endpoint to reach them is MIA.
- Login is disabled as its currently undocumented. For what we use it for (blacklist, favorites, and comments)
- Login Support!
- Allows syncing for favorites and blacklist; though the old e621 API (new one might fix this) doesn't seem to have a way to update the blacklist, just read from it, so blacklist is one way, we can get your blacklist and you can add more in the app, but anything added in the app won't make its way to your account.
- Comic mode! Its fancy, long-press on nearly any image (not icon images) and you'll be put in the new comic reader mode, it allows you to quickly swipe through full-sized images. It's designed mainly for pools, so there's an icon to launch it directly inside pools, but it can be initiated in most places. Easter Egg: Including the posts children's slider

- No more "No trending" lie, if nothing is trending for today, we'll get yesterdays, or last week, or last month or last, etc.
- Visual indicator for whether you liked a post already. Used to be available in older versions, but was removed until it could be improved to handle 1000+ favorites, ladies and gentlemen we did it... probably, you tell me.
- UI tweaks, navbar now no longer takes system default color (dark mode / light mode) but instead takes it from the app's settings like everything else. (Changing navbar will require a restart though)
- Optimized greatly search speeds, and pulling posts from memory. (We now load posts so quickly that slow UI updates are not going to stand in the way of you getting yourself throttled from constant requests :P )
- Temporarily shuttered search suggester (the one in fav stats) for public release, It'll be back and better than ever thought! Just you wait.
- And of course PUBLIC RELEASE, we're public now!

- Tiny itty bitty tweaks here and there to the UI so that its not quite so annoying... or just odd.

- New Navbar

- Less reloading == better data rates and a faster app.
The Water rises, Pool Search has been added. No running!
- Long Pressing on images in their search pane and certain other areas <.< will allow you to scroll left to right to other posts. Added mainly because scrolling through comics the old way is jarring.
