@hckr To cancel Note Editor in #AndStatus, please find "Discard" in the Action bar (top menu).
If the Action bar is hidden, just goto the Home screen and return back to the application,
or simply rotate the screen.
Maybe I need to Save Draft and close the Editor in a case Back button is pressed on a device?! -

@agosto182 Currently #AndStatus is Java only application. It actively uses Java 8 features, including Lambdas and Streaming API. -

#AndStatus v.40.00 "Favoriting activity in GNU Social and Limiting image cache size" is released, see https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/456
What's new:
1. GNU Social sends favoriting activity as an ordinary note with "somebody favorited something by otheruser:" favoriting prefix (or as "oneman favourited a status by somebody@somewhere.org)". AndStatus detects such notes during downloading and automatically converts them into LIKE (favoriting) activities, removing the favoriting prefix. https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/491
2. Added two options to limit total size of cached images and maximum size of any single image (to be sent or received):
Storage -> "Maximum size of cached images, Mb" with a default value of 1000 Mb.
Attachments -> "Maximum size of an attachment, Mb" with a default value of 5 Mb.
https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/459
3. Added an option in Settings -> Timeline: "Show my account, which downloaded the activity/note". So far the account shown as "a:accountname" in the note's details (below note's text). https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/493 -

@lnxw37d2 Yes, having competition is always good :-)
I hope that #GNUSocial will get #ActivityPub server to user protocol, at last. Thus opening a door for young and ambitious developers eager to change the world.
Regarding #AndStatus performance, it's already noticeably better in v.39. And Timelines open even faster in v.40, which I plan to post for Beta testing later today...

#AndStatus v.39.00 "User's profile at the top of their timeline" is released, see https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/456
What's new:
1. User's profile is shown at the top of their timelines: "Sent" (Notes by "someuser@somedomain"). For "my accounts" only: in "Favorites", "Friends" and "Followers" timelines also. Lists of user's friends and followers are available via the profile's context menu.
2. Switching between accounts made more like in other Android applications, with avatars of current and two previously selected accounts in the Navigation drawer (like e.g. in GMail app). Clicking on current account's avatar opens their "Sent" timeline with the account's profile information at the top. https://loadaverage.org/attachment/4312038 -

@bl4n No specific cache to clear by a User. I plan to add a separate procedure to limit total size of cached images, but didn't do this yet https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/459 -

@bl4n Regarding number of messages stored, please note that there is not only History size setting in #AndStatus, but History time also. Both values should be large enough. https://loadaverage.org/attachment/4310120 -

I love the @fdroidorg app store for Android. In my mind screenshots add a lot of value to the listings.
That’s why today I’m going to submit PRs to a couple of app repos to add screenshots.
The PRs for #AndStatus and #OpenVegeMap are already sent:

@roland No no :-) I used diffent credentials on each server. So I logged into each server as that server's local user.

@maiyannah I didn't know that new certificates didn't help. So please don't feel ignored :-)
1. I just tested connection to community.highlandarrow.com server using AndStatus and got the same HTTP 401 response and text
{
"error": "Could not authenticate you.",
"request": "\/api\/account\/verify_credentials.json"
}
on trying to access https://community.highlandarrow.com/api/account/verify_credentials.json
2. Then I tried to access the same URL "manually" using Chrome desktop and MS Explorer 11: "Sign in" pop-up opens. I typed "andstatus" as username and my password - they don't work this way either and I got the same 401 error.
3. I can log in to https://community.highlandarrow.com/ via Web interface using the same credentials.
4. I tested the same "manual" access of the "api/account/verify_credentials.json" at https://loadaverage.org/api/account/verify_credentials.json using browser - sign in works there.
My conclusion: there is some misconfiguration at a server side that prevents authentication. Please test it trying to sign in via a browser and the URL: https://community.highlandarrow.com/api/account/verify_credentials.json

@maiyannah I meant GNU Social problems, which require any fixes at #AndStatus side. Yes, I found our conversation last year about authentication problem at Highlandarrow. That time the problem was supposedly caused by wrong server certificate: https://gnusocial.no/notice/2414203

@maiyannah Actually recent #AndStatus development was focused on aligning internal data model with #ActivityPub specification.
Regarding recently introduced (regression) problems with GNU Social - I am simply unaware of such cases. If you have such problems, please file bugs here: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues

@surge It's interesting that Twitter itself allows posting an image without any text. I just tested this with #AndStatus: https://twitter.com/AndStatus1/status/994640155825922048 -

@nestort #AndStatus currently uses only plain-text version of the Note to figure out a mentioned Actor. Unfortunately, GNU Social servers (at least some of them) wrongly replace mentioning by webfingerId with mentioning by username without a domain. And this causes confusion, because there can be different actors on different servers with the same username... -

@paulelms I see this feature is number 4 (of about 500) among other #AndStatus issues: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/4 "Add an option to expand shortened URLs"
Does anybody know good Open Source solution for it? (not for Twitter only) -

@paulelms It's interesting that offline reading and posting in #AndStatus is useful even for people, who always have stable Internet connection. Because nodes / instances of the federated network aren't always online :-)
For example, yesterday #LoadAverage was offline for the whole day, but I still could read your posts, which were downloaded before the outage, and even responded to them. That responses were actually sent only today, naturally, when LoadAverage is up again :-) -

@ma1uta Actually this is limitation of the "Twitter-compatible API" in #Friendica that causes such unexpected behavior. #AndStatus doesn't have separate API for Friendica and and its developer, with whom I collaborated, deliberately decided to adapt Friendica to the same client API that GNU Social uses and not to create a custom one. I hope Friendica will create #ActivityPub client-to-server protocol as GNU Social plans to do this summer...

@paulelms Glad to hear that you like #AndStatus.
Regarding inconveniences that you noted:
1. You can set as the Default timeline any timeline that you like. Just go to "Manage timelines" action menu item. You can also set any timelines as Always visible or invisible to customize the timeline list...
2. Similarly, you can set default Account and reorder accounts in Settings -> Manage Accounts.
Regarding easier Account switch for posting a new note, do you have any suggestion on this? Maybe I should add account selector to the Note Editor?! I mean making a button "My account / author name" text above the composing note, allowing to switch the posting account/actor?!
.
BTW AndStatus v.38.04 is released http://andstatus.org/changelog.html
PS: Sorry for English :-)
