Loving the new updates, but what all has changed? (kbin.social)

I tried looking around for a changelog but I couldn't find one anywhere (let me know if you know where it is, I know you can look at the commits/merged PRs on Codeberg but there's a lot to dig through).

Here's some of the changes I've noticed:

Profile picture next to username in top right
Comments can now be sorted by "top"
Larger image preview when uploading an image
Magazine stats are now localized (yay!!!)
kbin logo instead of stormtrooper in the "Create your own instance" box
Vote colors are brighter on dark mode
New theme: Tokyo Night

This is just what I've seen after using the site for a bit after the update, let me know if there's anything I've missed!

Edit: I just noticed that you can filter posts by language now, that's huge!

Thanks for the updates Ernest, just fyi I had to delete the pwa I had for kbin and reinstall it to get the updates. Maybe have to adjust something in your manifest to auto update? I'll take a look at code later. Really happy so far tho, the screen lock is a life saver!!

The manifest is a pain. Apparently even updating the theme_color should be enough to force chrome to download a new version and update the local client, but that can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or so 😰

I've found deleting it and reinstalling thankfully works and now shows the fancy icon on Android
