Feb 10, 2024
We are switching to year based version numbers! Welcome to version 1 of 2024 :D

New:
- When in big preview mode, self posts will now show a few lines of text as a preview. There is also a setting to turn this off if you don't like it :)
- Videos will now respond to horizontal swipes to scrub through the duration of the video just like GIFs!
- Tapping Home in the action bar will now scroll to top if you are already on your home feed. Tapping it again will refresh the feed
- Adds option to add a subreddit directly to a multireddit from the ... button
- Adds setting to control whether hide all above/hide read posts hides stickied posts
- Adds option to have the app start on a multireddit
- The Narwhal app icon will now have shortcuts to your home feed and your favorites when you long press the icon

Improved:
- Scrubbing through GIFs will now work above and below the GIF in the black space
- Improves big preview mode when using single column mode on iPad. Very tall images/videos will now scale to not take over the entire screen.

Fixed:
- Fixes loading video short links like this one (https://v.redd.it/243q8tpgx7cc1)
- Fixes issue where search screen would disappear without you asking!

We are changing the default video player back to not loop videos. Instead, when a video ends, it will go to the beginning of the video and pause playback. You can tap the play video if you want to watch it again. For those of you who would like videos to loop, there is now a setting for it in Settings > Posts

Sorry to those of you who didn't like the default behavior change. We apologize and hope you stick with us as we continue to improve Narwhal throughout 2024!

I've attempted to fix the many issues that have cropped up with the Reddit API over the past week. If you've had trouble switching accounts, seeing default subreddits in your home feed, or trouble posting content, this should hopefully address that.

Here are the other new things in this version:

- Adds subreddit icons to the menu for Favorites. You need to open each favorite once for the icon to show up

Reddit is now charging Narwhal to display Reddit content, so we have added a mandatory subscription into the app. Yes, we hate this just as much as you do. We totally understand if you do not want to pay a subscription and we hope you enjoyed using Narwhal. We are working on many new features and will have more updates very soon!
