#Gemini

Nice progress crossing off a bunch of known issues in Lagrange's iOS port: MP3/AAC support, playing audio in the background, scroll animation stuttering, scroll bounce at top/bottom, auto-reload, and added the Settings > About page.

There's still plenty of UI polishing to do, but the app is shaping up! New TestFlight build coming in a couple of days.

"gemini/lagrange" is the only public repo at the moment. The move is in anticipation of more public repositories to be added later.

(Currently have three private ones there, too.)

📣
I moved the Gemini repositories on git.skyjake.fi to a "gemini" org. Lagrange is now at:

https://git.skyjake.fi/gemini/lagrange

Released a small #Lagrange v1.3 patch yesterday:

https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange/releases/tag/v1.3.3

- added UI languages (work in progress): French, German
- added environment variable LAGRANGE_OVERRIDE_DPI (see Help)
- back/forward buttons disabled when appropriate
- bug fixes: errors handling IPv6 addresses; crash during launch or when closing a tab

Rendering Text (gemlog post)

https://gmi.skyjake.fi/gemlog/2021-04_rendering-text.gmi

Taking a closer look at exactly how I render text in Lagrange, from TrueType files to view buffering.

The Lagrange beta on TestFlight has been updated to v1.4, with a couple of useful new features: pinch-to-zoom and text selection.

Using long press for selection means that the page context menu needed a new location. I’ve moved it up into the URL bar, replacing the reload button.

A few more semi-urgent fixes for #Lagrange v1.3:

https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange/releases/tag/v1.3.2

Bug fixes:
- crash after upgrading from v1.2
- pixel ratio and display DPI were being conflated
- sidebar width changes when switching displays
- using Tab in keybindings
- bookmarking feed entries
- UI string updates
- custom Emoji link label trimming
- max window size limited by first display (on Windows)

#Gemini

The Flathub build of Lagrange now additionally includes a version for 32-bit ARM, which means you can install it on Raspberry Pi running a 32-bit OS.

Runs great on my Raspberry Pi 400.

Overview of #Lagrange v1.3 (gemlog post)

https://gmi.skyjake.fi/gemlog/2021-04_lagrange-1.3.gmi

Version 1.3 has wide-ranging improvements that touch on all facets of the application. Now I regret calling v1.2 a "Big One" because this release eclipses it quite easily. 😄

#Gemini

This one will need some time for writing a proper gemlog post but in the meantime, please check out the in-app release notes for full details.

The next release of #Lagrange arrives as March draws to a close:

https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange/releases/tag/v1.3.0

There's lots to unpack here: UI localization, LibreTranslate integration, collapsing preformatted blocks, alt text, trust via CAs, theme adjustments, bold link appearance with custom icons, touch screen support, runtime UI rescaling, word/paragraph selection, unread feed entry counter, basic command line use, and several UI improvements.

#Gemini

I did most of the Finnish translation yesterday and I must say there is a strangely addictive nature to translating UI strings. 🇫🇮

#Gemini

First ten days of #Lagrange TestFlight

https://gmi.skyjake.fi/gemlog/2021-03_first-ten-days-of-lagrange-testflight.gmi (gemlog post)

Development has been pretty active but I'm still undecided about the phone UI. Writing a universal app remains a challenge. This has been a nice way to test 1.3 features for the desktop, though.

#Gemini

Trying out LibreTranslate in #Lagrange. It’s still a bit hit-and-miss, and I’m not sure how well the self-hosted instance will hold up, but it does work. Coming up in v1.3!

Tightening a few more screws. 🔧🐛

https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange/releases/tag/v1.2.3

Bug fixes:
- XML parsing hangs
- visible Gemtext markup with Monospace Body
- bookmarking wrapped links
- non-advancing monospace glyphs
- CMake safeguards
