Official iOS app for Mastodon
Hello! Hello and welcome to another version of hand-written release notes for Mastodon for iOS. This time it's the 2024.4-release and we're working hard to keep up the schedule: One release per month! Just kiddin. Truth to be told: We're basically a bunch of lazy people but from time to time we think: Well, we should ship another release. And then we work really, REALLY hard to make the Mastodon-app better. And this is why the 2024.4-version contains this:
You see: Lots of new bits and pieces to improve the Mastodon-experience step by step. And we will keep making it better. Thank you so much for supporting us and using Mastodon and enjoy the rest of this day and week and month and year and so on!

Hello and welcome to the release notes of the 2024.03-version of Mastodon for iOS. We're working hard to fix the bugs we introduced a few versions earlier and so this release mostly contains bug fixes and improvements. And without further ado it's an honor to present the release notes:
That's it! We're steadily working on improving the app, adding new features (and the community-tab!) and fixing nasty bugs. And, as always, this wouldn't be possible without you! And you are also the reason why we keep making things better: It's some awesome and wholesome to see all you people actually use Mastodon. So: Keep using it, please!

Welcome to another release of Mastodon for iOS. Some time has passed, but the latest version is finally here: Say hello to 2024.02! It's mostly a maintenance release, nothing special:
We fixed some bugs related to widgets (GH-1234) and hashtag-search (GH-1233) and improved performance throughout the entire app (GH-1237, GH-1192, GH-1230, GH-1229, GH-1227). Oh, and we improved sharing (GH-1199).
That's it, please enjoy the latest and greatest of Mastodon so far. In the meantime we're improving the app step by step. Have a great day!

This is a first!
Hello and welcome to the first release of Mastodon for iOS in 2024. We've worked hard, searched (and found and fixed) bugs and looked for other improvements. And we increased the speed, otherwise this wouldn't be the first release, right? Still, it comes with a truckload of stuff:
That's it! This is all the 2024.01-release of Mastodon contains. We didn't hide any other things like secret bug fixes or various improvements in there. Maybe we should declare it organic software?
Anyway, thank you for reading these hand-crafted release notes. And, of course: Thank you for using Mastodon!

Welcome to another release of Mastodon for iOS. Consider this our special offer: It's free! We've been quite busy in the last couple of days, but we want you to enjoy the latest and greatest bug fixes as soon as possible. This release is the 16. this year, that's why the version number is 2023.16. And it features this:
That's it for now. We hope, that you didn't spend too much on special offers. Although Mastodon is free for you to use, it's not free to develop. That's why we're so grateful for your ongoing support. The less you spend on special offers, the more you can spend on us!
Just kidding, have a lovely time.

Another day, another release? Yes, sadly, because we screwed up and we'd like to apologize for that.
Remember that we changed the required iOS-version in the 2023.14-release? Saying, that not many people would be affected? Turns out: Too many people couldn't use the app this morning because it crashed. But only on iOS 16. And this release fixes that. Thanks to all of you who quickly reported it. I was awake very fast this morning due to that. (GH-1161)
Again: We're really sorry that you couldn't use the app for a few hours. In the end, we are humans, programmers, who care about their work, but humans are known to make mistakes from time to time.
Thank you so much for using Mastodon (although it might have its rough edges here and there) and for your ongoing support — we're really grateful for that.

Dear Mastodon-user, dear (unknown) friend,
welcome to another release of Mastodon for iOS in 2023. This year we've shipped 14 new versions in total so far, including this one. That's why this version is 2023.14. It contains this:
Thank you for taking the time to read these hand-crafted release notes. You know, that Mastodon and all the servers wouldn't be possible without you, right? Thank you so much for using it and for your ongoing support — we're really grateful for that.
We hope that you've enjoyed this year so far. Take care of yourself and others as life is also more fun and better with friends. You never know how much time is left or what life brings, so please: Make the best out of it. You'll always be remembered.

Hello and welcome to 13. release of Mastodon for iOS in 2023. We hope, that you've had a wonderful day so far!
Search got heavily improved in Mastodon and so we thought: Why not improving the iOS-app a bit, too? We hope, that the new search makes it easier for you to find interesting conversations and people on Mastodon. And so, that you spend more time looking for those interesting conversations and people than spending your time reading release notes, we keep them short this time:
Thank you so much for using Mastodon and for taking the time to read these release notes.
Have a great day today and tomorrow and the day after and so on! Don't forget to enjoy the summer
