Pocket Trailer

• Option to sync and display links to items that close, or are closed by, other items.
• The usual round of performance improvements, in line with keeping Trailer as lightweight as possible.
• Fix for crash when editing a server without using the QuickStart window.
• Fix for background mode handling after syncs.

• GitHub access tokens will now be stored in the system keychain and not in the local Trailer database for extra security, and are no longer visible in the Trailer UI. This migration is performed automatically. If you need to downgrade to a previous version of Trailer for whatever reason, please search your keychain for “trailer” and copy/paste the tokens back to that.
• New option to auto-remove closed and merged items if they have not been updated for a certain period of time.
• New option in the “Misc” preferences section to list items that are synced but not being displayed for whatever reason.
• If using multithreaded queries, Trailer will “boost” the original batch slightly to ensure that short syncs complete faster. Longer syncs will still continue with the standard lower rate to ensure there are no timeouts.
• Performance improvements and cleanups related to reading settings, especially as part of batch operations.
• Fixed: If there were no people assigned to review a PR, team assignments would not be detected.
• Fixed: Closed items from a repo not actively watched could result in repeating close notifications until the item was removed.

- An incremental update that possibly eliminates a potential v4 API locking issue

• If you’re using V4 API, this build will perform a migration of IDs once after installation to the new identifiers that GitHub is requiring. This may mean the first sync after upgrade will take slightly longer.
• Display: Item counts will now take author/comment blocklist into account.
• Display: Base/head display fixes.
• Display: V4 API syncs now display the number of calls made in the status display.
• Settings: New setting added to autohide PRs that have been approved or rejected by the current user.
• Settings: Separate options for assignments to allow different sections for items assigned to the user compared to items assigned to one of the current user’s teams.
• Settings: Log monitor added as per the macOS version.
• Performance: Item post processing is slightly faster.
• Tidying: Removed older migration code from very old versions.

• Slows down v4 API query rate to prevent failures due to server-side throttling.

From 1.8.0:
• Significant optimisations to performance throughout, from HTTP requests, parsing queries, processing items, and app responsiveness while syncing.
• A (first) round of improvements to the ageing codebase :)
• Many small fixes, partly as a consequence of the cleanup.
• Fixed an issue where items that were open at the time a repo was archived will no longer be listed.
• Fixed an issue where closed and merged items that were kept on the list could not be opened.
• Corrections to Spotlight integration.

• Corrects an issue related to filtering out items created by bot users, and some corner cases in v4 syncing.

• General round of minor bug fixing and optimisations, including issues with displaying reviews and statuses.

- Correction for V4 API artefacts that could cause incremental syncs to bring in insufficient data
- Built with the latest toolchain for size and performance improvements

Fixes an issue that prevented Trailer from identifying draft PRs correctly.

From 1.7.0:
• iOS is now mature enough, and has enough handling for windowing and multitasking that it makes no sense to have an in-app web view and split-screen detail view on the iPad. Instead Trailer now works on iOS the same way it works on macOS - i.e. as a directory of items, and leaves opening and handling the URL of each item to the system. For instance, on iPad you can now set up your own split-screen by dragging an entry to the side of the screen and creating a new Safari window.
• Major UI refresh for the latest iOS versions, including improved system appearance support, iOS native system icons, context menus for items, and many miscellaneous UI fixes.
• Added option to use GitHub v4 API for syncing data. If you sync a large amount of PRs, Repositories, sync status items, responses and/or review statuses/assignments, then turning this option on can result in dramatic speed improvements when syncing (and a reduction in corresponding API usage) since the number of calls Trailer has to make is significantly reduced. Trailer needs to re-sync all data when you toggle this option, so be sure to do so as appropriate.
• v3 API sync also features various improvements and optimisations to speed up some operations.
• Option to display teams that have been assigned to review a PR.
• Option to mark merge conflicts in PRs (v4 API only)
• Option to show added/removed line counts in PRs, as well as the ability to sort using that as a criterion (v4 API only)
• Option to scan closed and merged items for new events like comments and reactions (v4 API only)
• Options to scan items created on any repository, irrespective of whether they are in the watchlist (v4 API only)
• Reaction and status scanning logic has changed to keep syncs sane and help them scale up for larger numbers of items. From now on, Trailer will scan a fixed amount of items for statuses and reactions on every sync, and will round-robin through all items. So if you sync 200 items, and you’ve set 50 items per refresh, then all items will be refreshed within 4 syncs.
• PR branch names shown in context menus, selecting them copies the branch name to the clipboard.
• Various minor bug fixes and tweaks across both macOS and iOS.

∙ Dark mode support
∙ URL scheme extended to support opening and searching, using the same syntax as the filters, for example: pockettrailer://?search=author:john
∙ New “state:” filtering option (arguments can be: unread/open/closed/merged/snoozed)
∙ Corrected filtering of status items based on included or excluded terms
∙ Fix: Adding manual repos using “*” from an org with many repos would only add a subset of them
∙ Fix: Repeated assigned item announcements when first synced
∙ Minor UI fixes
∙ Built with latest toolchain for performance

Significantly larger API cache to avoid straining GitHub API limits for users who are monitoring very large repos.

This release drops a crufty layer of manual API caching and uses the system network cache instead. This not only improves stability but also corrects issues that Trailer would experience when running on iOS 12.

Important: If you have not tweaked the default options for visibility of items in new repos, the new default is now "hidden". If you wish to change that back to the old default, you can change the appropriate setting from the advanced preferences panel -> Watchlist -> PR/Issue visibility of new repos. Please see the end of these notes for more info.

• Option to auto-hide archived repos.
• Periodically updates manually-added repos along with the rest of the watchlist.
• Takes dismissed reviews into account when displaying review statuses.
• Batch adding of custom repos from an org is now possible: Simply use "*" as the name of the repo when providing the URL of the custom repo.
• Repo list improved to support sorting by various criteria as well as batch-editing options that apply to the filtered groups of repos.
• Changes in quick-start and default repo visibility: GitHub use has grown a lot since Trailer was first created. Users no longer follow or watch just a few repositories and orgs can have hundreds or thousands of repositories. This means that the default quick-start behaviour of Trailer can and does end up being very wasteful in API, data, and battery use over time. For this reason, quick-start no longer activates every repository from the watchlist. Instead, once the account is verified the repo list is fetched and displayed, and a user can chose which repositories they want visible and to what extent. Additionally, settings for visibility of new repos are set to be hidden by default. Users must now explicitly opt into adding new repos, or explicitly set the options which will automatically do that.

Corrects an issue where a failed fetch of review assignments could lead to sync hanging indefinitely.

This release corrects the workaround from 1.6.5 when used with GE servers who do not have the new API change yet.

From 1.6.5:
• Works around API change by GitHub related to team assignments that broke sync.
• Includes teams in checks for review assignments.

• Works around API change by GitHub related to team assignments that broke sync.
• Includes teams in checks for review assignments.

Fixes to notification opening, tab visibility, and repository list refreshing issues.
