BREAKING CHANGE

Voyager now connects directly to ALL Lemmy instances! If your Lemmy instance does not support CORS (using an old version of Lemmy), you will no longer be able to connect. Virtually all larger Lemmy instance have been upgraded with support for direct connect for Lemmy clients.

New features

New icon

Thanks very much to @fer0n for our wonderful new logo! This logo was chosen as part of our icon design contest. @fer0n also created a fantastic new splash screen for Voyager!

Want to get it? Remove and re-add the app to your homescreen. (Unfortunately, you will loose all settings + hidden posts)
Like the old icon? The old icon will continue to be displayed until you remove and reinstall Voyager to your homescreen.
Want a different custom icon? For iOS, check out this shortcut! https://routinehub.co/shortcut/15817

Custom swipe gestures

Thanks to @rsammelson for this great new feature! You can now customize swipe gestures however you desire - including turning them off. Check it out in Settings!

With this change, the long right swipe for posts is now bookmark instead of hide. You can change this back to the way it was in Gesture Settings, if you prefer!

Instance sidebar

From the Communities list, click the icon the header to view the instance sidebar! From here you can view the admins (and direct message them), as well as view other helpful information.

I have been using Voyager myself for about a week, and I love it. I probably won't go back to Jerboa. I'm even self-hosting my own container of it for my own personal instance.

But I do have one issue. Sometimes when I tap a post, instead of opening the post, it changes my scroll position slightly. then I have to scroll back up a little bit and tap the post again. Has anyone else ran into this issue?

I believe that's this issue, it's a weird Android bug. I'll investigate shortly.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Though it might not only happen when tapping images, but anywhere on the post, unless I am tapping the image by mistake. I usually tap near the title to open the comments, and it's happening for me there. But it's a thin thing to tap on, so sometimes I accidentally hit the picture instead.

Anyway hopefully that helps! And thank you for all of your hard work on this project! It truly is an amazing app.

Edit: confirmed, it can definitely happen when tapping the title. I just tried it on a title that was 3 lines long to make sure I wasn't tapping the photo by accident.
