v3.18.0 - 2020-06-03

Added

• Support for DHT invites as generated by manyverse (#1246) added by @staltz. This is the headline feature of this release. DHT invites are one of the more promising ways to improve the onboarding experience without a pub. We invite everyone to test this feature out. Invite a friend or family member to SSB, tell us how it worked, we're eager to iterate on this!

• Add Dracula-inspired theme (#1294, #1295)
• You can now type /profile into the search bar to visit your own profile. (#1287) Handy in combination with using Ctrl+L (Cmd+L on MacOS) to activate the search bar.
• When using Ctrl/Cmd+Return to publish a message, a second push of Ctrl/Cmd+Return will now confirm the publication, while Esc or simply Return (without the Ctrl/Cmd modifier) will cancel the publish and return back to editing the message (#1286)

• Auto-build with Travis CI (now supporting Snappy and Debian).
• Changelog.

Changed

• Made legacy block handling easier to understand with new options on the profile page.

Removed

• Irrelevant prebuilds from build artifacts, which were bloating the size of releases.

• Pagination bug that wasn't correctly showing messages on private, public, and profile feeds.
• EXIF stripping, which only works on JPG, TIF, and WAV files. Images that were converted from JPG/TIF/WAV may still have EXIF metadata embedded somewhere in the file, so it's important to know that Patchwork only rmeoves EXIF metadata from JPG/TIF/WAV.
