This release adds many new features to the app. The main feature being "guest mode".

Guest mode addresses a blind spot of the app since it's inception: the ability to browse any Lemmy instance even if you don't have an account there. With guest mode, you will be able to set the instance to anything you want, even if you're signed in. To use guest mode, tap on the account switcher button (top right) and select Guest.

See the changelog below for all new features added by this release.

Full changelog

• Added "guest mode". This mode allows you to browse any lemmy instance without being required to be signed in on that instance.
• Added a new screenshot mode: Title and image only. This one is great for posts where the text is not necessary for the full effect of the post. Eg. when a post has a text description for accessibility but you're already giving all that up anyways since you're saving it as an image.
• Added a settings button to the rich text field toolbar. This allows users to change the order of the options in the rich text field toolbar.
• Added some fancy logic to the post creator/editor screen. The post body formatting toolbar will now detect if the keyboard is open and switch between being docked to the bottom of the screen or being docked below the post text field. Preview here.
• Added a new top level screen option: user profile. This option can be selected in the navigation settings.
• Fixed a bug where switching communities may not apply your preferred settings. Eg. sort order.
• Fixed a bug where not all elements will be visible in the account switcher dialog if the user is signed into too many accounts.
• Fixed a bug where leaving and returning back to the app may reset your order order.
• Make user profile images tappable.
• Fixed some bugs with the floating text field toolbar in the create post screen.
• Fixed a bug where videos do not show a thumbnail when using certain layouts such as Card 1, 2 or 3.
