Scrolling of the messages improved
The user's online status is displayed at the messages and at the suggestions for mentions. Displaying the status on the individual messages can be deactivated in the settings.
In the menu of a message the user and the time of the message are shown.
It is possible to reply to messages. The user of the quoted message is automatically mentioned and gets a notification about the reply.
Messages, channels and users for direct messages can be found via the global search bar
Management of members of teams and channels has been changed:
Formerly public channels (with no members specified) now have the “All Users” group as a member by default.
Teams and channels without members are no longer accessible to all users, now they can be accessed by no one
Channels can now be explicitly set to inherit members from the team. Alternatively, a custom selection can be made.
Groups no longer need to have CoWork permission explicitly set to be set for memberships. All groups are selectable.
Channels support uploading of custom icons
Videos will be played inline in the channel.
The color markers used to highlight new messages in channels can be set as follows: mentions only, all messages or completely disabled.
Using the “Copy Text” action in the context menu, the selected text or the entire text of a message can be copied.
In the “Emoji” dialog of the configuration interface, custom emoji can be added via SVG.
An extra page with details of logged-in users and created messages has been added for the diagnostic application. Other CoWork plugins can add additional information.
Automatic playback of gif animations and videos can be customized in the settings.
Links to web pages in messages additionally generate a preview with title, description and image if the web page contains appropriate Open Graph or Twitter metatags.
