v2.17.0 reply to vote

This release enables replying to votes. You can also comment on polls when voting is not enabled.

There is a subtle change to the notification system. When you reply the app will insert a @mention at the beginning of your comment, previously all replies would notify the OP, this makes things more obvious.

We've also tuned the design of the thread page. Action buttons (such as React, and Reply) are on the left now, which makes it easier to see which comment you're replying to/acting upon, and generally looks nicer too.

Additionally, when you reply to a comment the reply form appears in the position where the reply will eventually be placed when you hit post. Previously the form would appear under the comment you're replying to, no matter what, then when you posted, it would appear at the bottom of the thread. That annoyed people.

This also changes the threading behavior, new threads will default to 2 levels of nested comment, so that replies to votes appear in the best place. Existing threads will not have their threading depth changed.

This work was sponsored by Igalia, thanks for the testing and feedback @anarute.

This release also removes the Griddler gem we used to handle incoming emails. We have our own code to replace it, and it's easier to understand - it also paves the way for 'email to start thread'. You can reply to a poll or vote email and the comment will appear in the right place.

That's it for new major changes.

Otherwise, we've

• fixed some mobile issues with the group and thread pages
• addressed a security issue with login emails.
• fixed the "are you sure you want to discard changes" message, so it does not bother you when not necessary.
• we show the email address of users requesting to join your group
• Translations updates
• Added support for Google Cloud Storage for attachments
• Ruby Gem and NPM library updates

v2.15.5

The last release included an update to the Docker base OS, which was incompatible with older ubuntu servers.

I've found a way to get the updated timezone data we were looking for without updating the base OS - so no need to upgrade your server to keep using Loomio. Yay.

This release also fixes some annoying layout issues on mobile devices.

Custom poll templates

This is a major feature update! I'm so pleased it has been released.

You can read about it here: https://blog.loomio.com/2022/08/23/custom-poll-templates-release/

This release is the new stable release - the major upgrade was completed on loomio.org 3 weeks ago, and all minor issues since then have been addressed.

v2.14.7 Last release before 2.15.0.

Just a routine library and translations update release.

Probably the last release of 2.14. We've got a really exciting change coming in 2.15 which we hope to release next week.

v2.14.6

This release includes

• a fix for rendering date-times in emails, they will be correctly adjusted to the recipient's timezone now.
• a fix for login via mobile - We removed the 'link' from the sign-in email. Now you always enter the code to sign in. This is a work around for the horrible way that mobile phone email clients open links.

This will be the latest stable release for a while, poll templates is very close indeed. Thank you for reading!

v2.14.5

This release includes work from 2 external contributors! Very cool.

We've introduced the ability to choose your preferred date and time format.

Otherwise this release is just a maturity & bugfix release. We've got a huge amount of work going on in the Poll Templates branch right now, so it's good to get master as mature as possible before a major version bump.
