What's new

v4.2.1Aug 16, 2026

Added
QMS (private messages): native dialog list with time and message count visible directly in thread. - "Contact is typing" indicator (official client channel) with quick polling in open conversations. - "Online" status — dots in contact list, chat header, and next to usernames with emoji. - Dialog pinning to the top of the list. - "Draft" label for dialogs with unsaved messages. - In-dialog search. - Unread messages now appear at the top of the list with contact row subtitle (topic + time).
Themes
Added "Matrix" and "Matrix Terminal" color palettes. - Added "Black-Yellow" and "Black-Gold" palettes. - "Text tone" now works on all palettes, not just system theme.
Other
Side scrollbar now available on all list screens. - "Custom start screen" — any pinned tile can now open first. - Large emoji in editor panel (like official client). - Users section: header and chip swipe (like Favorites). - Scroll button side configurable for left-handed users. - Default bottom menu order: News, Favorites, QMS, Bookmarks, Replies. - Horizontal swipe in History switches filter chips (like Favorites). - Editor preview now shows attachments as files instead of code [attachment=…].
Improvements
Scrollbar no longer "breathes" during scrolling; track now fills traveled path. - Fewer server requests to 4pda; proper rate-limit (429) handling. - "Back to original section" now works across the entire app. - History: removed swipe-to-delete (replaced with page panel in toolbar). - Bottom panel tile reordering — neighboring tiles no longer shift.
Fixes
Backup "profile and session" no longer gets lost during export/import. - Download progress bar now visible in notification shade. - Lists now refresh properly with pull-to-refresh (fixed dead gesture zone). - Canceling your own download no longer hides someone else's loading spinner. - Swipe-to-reply in QMS no longer goes off-screen. - Swipe to switch screens no longer triggers vertical scroll. - Pull-to-refresh now works in favorite folders without pinned topics and on folder chips. - Quick settings and bottom sheets now open properly in landscape (not stuck at 64dp). - News cover in landscape no longer takes over the entire screen. - Theme menu items now use the correct app font. - After publishing a post, you now go to your own post instead of the top of the page. - Link to a deleted post now opens the nearest post instead of showing an error. - Topic link now opens from the first page (like in browser). - Profile avatar now displays fully without cropping. - Poll icon is no longer a solid filled block. - Release: description can now be scrolled with finger.
