Patchwork v3.18.1-beta.5
Pre-release
🎉 Thanks for downloading Patchwork! 🎉
As last time, I will re-iterate that this is in preparation of one last release for Patchwork.
Look out to migrate to Oasis, patchfoo, or Manyverse once they put out a desktop version. 🙂 Or hey, build your own client! The new ssb-db2 is an amazing base to build on, go for it! 💪🏽
You may notice that the indexing progress in the new "Status" tab looks... less than polished. That's not a bug. That's just what it looks like. Take it as a sign of development coming to a halt. 😛
The new snap package actually works for me. That's a real improvement over the currently-published version from the snap store, which does not work for me. If you've been using the snap version of patchwork, try upgrading to this beta and tell me how it goes! Note that the snap stores its data separately form the AppImage and such, so to back up your secret you'll want to copy ~/snap/ssb-patchwork/1/.ssb/secret instead of ~/.ssb/secret. Once that's done, you can snap refresh:
sudo snap refresh --channel=beta ssb-patchwork
As usual, feedback & bug reports are welcome in the Github issues, or simply on the #patchwork channel. Mention @MRiJ+CvDnD9ZjqunY1oy6tsk0IdbMDC4Q3tTC8riS3s=.ed25519 to notify me. 🙂
