What's new

v4.3.0Sep 10, 2026

Added
BBCode highlighting in the editor: tags as chips, blocks with stripes, unmatched tags in red — can be disabled in settings. - Tap a spoiler tag to collapse it. - "~N remaining" — shows unread posts in a thread, with a toggle in settings. - History merged with server data — now shows visits from the website and official client. - Replies to news comments shown in the Replies screen. - "My comments" — separate menu item with Messages/Comments tabs and direct comment navigation. - "Last page" option in "When opening a thread" setting. - Sorting of open tabs. - Warning about server bookmarks after backup restore. - Confirmation after saving a bookmark. - File download count now shown immediately. - Search result display setting: text fragments or full post. - "Remaining instead of hidden counter" — separate setting for unread display. - Tablet: two-pane QMS (contact list next to chat); list feed no longer stretches full width. - QMS: "Delete for {nick} too" now offered for just-sent messages.
Improved
4PDA direct channel — twice as fast, seven diagnosed defects fixed. - Major app audit — over fifty findings resolved: memory leaks, state races, network issues, cache inconsistencies, dead code. - Group colors — nicknames, groups, and reader lists now match the forum exactly. - Eliminated binder storm from favorite shortcuts on the main thread (nearly half of all UI freezes). - Unified error state with Retry button in QMS, contact dialogs, section list, and History.
Fixed
"First unread" opened the thread at the wrong position. - Images in spoilers not loading with direct channel enabled. - Filenames with Cyrillic characters preventing saves. - Downloaded offline threads incorrectly appearing in History. - Pasting into BBCode field carried formatting instead of plain text. - Search query lost when switching to another app. - Several causes of app crashes. - Other minor UI and stability fixes.
