Big Changes

Lightning Zaps have been implemented

Direct Messages have been implemented

Petname support (including in ContactList events) has been implemented

Relay pages and UX have been completely redone

Storage engine changed from SQLite to LMDB

Fixed numerous caching related bugs (stale data, invalidation issues)

Events that seemed to go missing are no longer missing

HTTP fetching rework

Verifies older cached files haven't changed, else it downloads the changed file (etag)

Handles many kinds of error conditions more sanely

Not overloading HTTP servers by limiting the number of parallel fetches

Medium Changes

Status messages are in a queue, allowing you to see the last 3

Metadata re-fetched periodically

Events that augment others are loaded only when the event they augment is in view

Settings rework with many more settings

Command mode: pass a command as a parameter to run commands. Try 'help' to get started.

Minor Changes worth mentioning

Performance analyses inspired multiple changes for better performance.

Note rendering more dynamic (some changes were previously not immediately visible)

Improvements with links to other nostr objects:

Fixes around proper rendering

Support for nrelay1, naddr1, 'a' tags

Automatically fetching the referenced objects

Thread searching now includes author's relays

Better shutdown sequence, more likely to shutdown fairly quickly now

Status info in left panel (optional)

Better relay ranking

Keyboard scrolling (PgUp, PgDn)

Spam filtering with Rhai script file (optional)

Older "My notes" disappear after some time. But I can find them again if I look for them. I can't find a setting (feed, replies chunk) on how to affect this. I would like to be able to set how many "My Notes" I can see in the past.

Discussion

Noted. I can hardly believe we have come this far and still haven't added a [load more] button at the bottom of any of the feeds. I would have expected many more people should have complained about this by now, but nobody does.

I want this too.
