Version 0.8.0

This release introduces bundled configuration, multi-site support, Microsoft Teams chat integration, feed refresh timestamps, macOS optimizations, and major improvements to security, performance, and overall polish.

What’s New

• Bundled configuration: SKIES now comes pre-configured — no setup needed on first launch.
• Multi-site support: SKIES can now connect to different sites, not just one.
• Teams chat: Open a Microsoft Teams chat directly from user profiles when your organization uses Microsoft sign-in.
• Feed timestamps: Feeds now show when they were last refreshed.
• Search photos: People can now show profile photos in search results.
• Open-source licenses: View the app’s dependencies and their licenses in Settings > About.
• Optimized for macOS: Avatars, icons, buttons, and content widths now scale properly on larger screens.

What’s Improved

• Security: Stronger PIN protection and ephemeral sign-in sessions for better privacy.
• Performance: Faster people search and user loading across the app.
• Rich text: Links in feed content are easier to tap and display correctly.
• Read tracking: Read state now syncs more accurately with timestamps.
• Profile: Profile screen loads more reliably with less flicker.
• Birthdays: Birthday list adapts to your device size.
• Accent colors: Replaced the custom color picker with a wider set of preset accent colors for a more consistent look.
• Notifications: Tapping a notification now properly closes any open screen before navigating to the content.
• Error messages: Network and server errors now show clearer, more helpful messages.
• Bookmarks: Bookmarks screen feels snappier and more responsive.
• iCloud sync: Sync status now updates correctly and persists across restarts.
• Images: Images in feed items now scale correctly instead of stretching beyond their actual size.
• Text selection: Text in feed items can now be selected, and link previews work properly.
• Pull-to-refresh: Refreshing feels more reliable with less stale content.
• Feed refresh: Posts and activities no longer disappear when refreshing due to incorrect merge ordering.
• Browser preference: Web links now open in your chosen browser, either in-app or in the system browser.
• Sharing: Shared links work more reliably with your organization’s setup.
• Demo mode: Switching between demo and real accounts after logging out is more reliable. Read history may reset once after this update.
• Stability: Various crash fixes and better recovery from invalid local data.
• Accessibility: Improved VoiceOver labels and navigation across the app.
