This is probably the biggest feature-creep release to date (especially for a point release) lol. Most of the changes are architectural or subtle UI tweaks, so I wanted to include a few new things that would actually be noticeable.

Tesseract now supports Loops video embeds. 🎉

This has been an “ask” for a month or longer (or since Loops went live), and I’m happy to say I finally came up with a way to make this happen (Loops doesn’t provide any video embed metadata so I had to get creative 😔)

As for a release date, I’m still running through tests since there were so many architectural changes this time around. If you want to help with this, please consider testing for me via the hosted instance (https://tesseract.dubvee.org/) and submitting bugs via Github or posting in this community with the bug details.

There are a few areas I wanted to touch up this release (search and modlog), but those are just going to have to wait.

Best estimate is next week assuming I don’t hit any snags with the Loops integration. Again, testing and submitting buts is extremely helpful as I cannot test every possible scenario.

    If you’ve been annoyed about loops not getting embedded, give Tesseract a try! It’s a really nice Lemmy UI, and the Loops support embeds the actual mp4 file, give you browser-native controls like seeking and volume levels. The dev, @ptz@dubvee.org, is super responsive and added the Loops support impressively quickly after I just pinged him asking if it was possible.
