This release contains a critical bug fix for the flashy new account switcher that was causing a crash during token migration. It also contains all the goodies from the 0.5.0 release, which will finally be formally released!

⚠️ Important If you're updating from an older version of Swiftcord, you might get stuck on the loading screen due to a bug in the new account storage system. Clicking the logout button that appears after ~30s is a workaround which will allow you to log in again. You'll only have to do this once.

New Features

• All buttons are now styled like Discord's buttons

Full Changelog: https://github.com/SwiftcordApp/Swiftcord/compare/v0.1.0...v0.3.2

This release is built from latest commits in the #native-urlsession-websocket branch, which contains a completely rewritten WebSocket wrapper (RobustWebSocket.swift). Various manual tests have been carried out, and it seems to perform quite reliably in those circumstances. However, I cannot simulate every network condition, so if you happen to come across a bug, please create an issue and include the console output for debugging :D

Once again, thanks for testing Swiftcord! It means a lot to me <3

macOS might flag Swiftcord as malware, and not allow you to open it since I did not sign it with a dev account. To open Swiftcord, you have to right click the app, and click run.

I'm creating a pre-built release with version 0.1.0, for those who are interested in trying out Swiftcord but can't build the app from source.

You'd need to unzip the zip, then right-click on the .app package and click run (shown below) since I did not sign the app with an apple developer account.

Known Issues

• Channel list buttons are not styled properly - This is a temporary UI issue
• Scrolling lags and "hitches" - I'm currently trying to fix this performance issue, it's something to do with the way I'm decoding and handling Discord Gateway messages from the WebSocket (its not the most efficient)
• All DMs do not have proper names (they just appear as #) - This is also being worked on currently

Thanks for trying out Swiftcord! It means a lot to me :)
