Motivation for this change

New release.

Ripcord version 0.4.26 (2020-6-21)

General

• Added live theme changing without having to restart Ripcord.
• Added a GUI-based custom theme editor with live preview, undo/redo, and JSON import/export.
• Added automatic import of custom_theme.json files to the new theming system.
• Added preference to show notifications even when the application is focused/active.
  • The notifications mode in preferences is now displayed as a combo box with 3 choices, "never", "only when not focused", and "always."
• Removed legacy v1 session tabs loading code. If you somehow managed to last run Ripcord before the version released on 2018-3-25 and then run this new version, the tabs saved from that two-year-old session will be lost.
• Removed legacy "theme/light_theme" settings migration code. If you haven't run Ripcord since 2018-3-03 but then run this new version of Ripcord, your theme preference will be automatically reset to Carbon.

Slack

• Added basic suppression of duplicate Slack notifications.
  • This should help reduce notification spam when using enterprise grid Slacks with multiple overlapping workspaces.-
  • The implementation of this is still kind of primitive. Please report any issues you have, or any suggestions you can think up to improve it.
• Added middle-mouse-button scrolling for Slack channels, like in some web browsers and PDF readers.
  • Discord channels already had this.
• Fixed 2FA/MFA-enabled accounts being unable to authenticate with username & password.
  • Caused by change in Slack's sign-in process. Ripcord code has now been updated to handle it.
  • Browser import method was unaffected.
• Fixed notifications still appearing for messages arriving in Slack threads even when a tab with that Slack thread is already visible and focused.
• Updated format of some Slack data in bookmark lists and saved tabs
  • Bookmark lists will be automatically updated to new format when running this new version of Ripcord.
  • Old versions of Ripcord will not be able to recognize Slack channels in bookmark lists in the new format.
  • This will only affect you if you have bookmark lists with Slack channels in them, run this new version of Ripcord, and then downgrade to an older version of Ripcord.
• Added support for future changes that Slack will be making to their protocol.

Discord

• Added [file upload...] indicator text to pending uploaded files.
  • This fixes messages with failed uploads being unclickable due to being 0 pixels tall.
  • Failed uploads can now be canceled just like regular messages by right-clicking on them.
  • Finally.
• Added "Copy Role ID" to the context menus in Discord roles lists views (member roles assignment and main guild roles list)
• Removed Discord profile popup window thing when left-clicking on a user in a chat channel.
  • Left click now opens the same context menu as right click.
  • Added account creation date display to the "Advanced" submenu in Discord user context menus.
  • Added "Copy Name & Tag" to Discord user context menu
