Fractal 13.beta was released just for that, and it brings:A brand new audio player that loads files lazily and displays the audio stream as a seekable waveform.Only a single file with an audio stream can be played at a time, which means that clicking on a “Play” button stops the previous media player that was playing.Clicking on the avatar of the sender of a message now opens directly the user profile instead of a context menu. The actions that were in the context menu could already be performed from that dialog, so UX is more straightforward now.The GNOME document and monospace fonts are used for messages.Most of our UI definitions got ported to Blueprint.As usual, this release includes other improvements, fixes and new translations thanks to all our contributors, and our upstream projects.It is available to install via Flathub Beta, see the instructions in our README.As the version implies, there might be a slight risk of regressions, but it should be mostly stable. If all goes well the next step is the release candidate!If you have a little bit of time on your hands, you can try to fix one of our newcomers issues.
