Release 20200117
January 21, 2020 in bliss by Dan Gravell
This is a bug-fix-and-small-UI-improvements kind-of release. There are some important fixes for users of the duplicate tracks rules, and as an experiment I’ve moved in-app chat into the main app.
In-app chat
As an experiment I’ve moved a chat widget into the main app (before it was just on the setup page). When I’m running office hours you can chat to me (Dan!) live - the rest of the time there’s an option to send an email.
I thought this would be a good way of gathering more feedback about how people use bliss.
New inbox improvements
The beta for the “New Inbox” continues - we’ve received lots of good feedback, and so in this release:
- No more horizontal scrolling; problems with lots of alternative fixes are now a collapsible panel:
- Don’t show the old Inbox when the New Inbox is enabled.
- Make sure Total fixes updates as categories are chosen.
- The Fix all button has been renamed to make it clearer clicking it doesn’t immediately fix anything.
More improvements
Other stuff includes:
- The macOS version now ships with Java 11 and is fully notarized.
- Don’t allow double clicks on Apply rules.
- Add a rule is now clickable on narrow screens on the setup page, when rules are already added.
- Make sure the setup page looks nice under 1024x width screen.
- Show a better message when a renewal licence is installed without an existing licence.
- Fixed
LinearSeqLikeduplicates problem. - Fixed provide URL/upload file features.
- When assessing correctness for names that are wholly punctuation (e.g. Billie Eilish’s !!!!!!!) never ignore the punctuation.
