7/1-2024:

• A number of new features were merged in just before end last year, but due to computers breaking down, I had no way to build release packages. This is now done. As the new features are not described in the documentation yet, please read these release notes to know what is there.
• You find install files for Debian (Ubuntu & other flavours), Windows as well as JAR packages for Windows, Linux (x86) and OSX (Intel & M series chips). In case anyone wonder, while JAR files generally are platform independent, the UI library that Trunkfriends use builds JAR files tailored for each OS, and will only work on the ones they are built for.
• Some new features, like unfollow / follow accounts and add accounts to list, require a read/write/follow token, while tokens until now have been pure read tokens. If you want to use this functionality, you must obtain a new token. Select the server first, and click the menu button and select "obtain new token".
• You get a new view where following / follower accounts are listed, not grouped by when they follow / unfollow like the history overview, but each account appearing only once in the list. This list can be sorted and searched, a handy overview for instance to find all follower on a given domain. Just like in history view, you can zoom in on one account and see all follow / unfollow events for this account, and you can click a checkbox to add it to a "bad", and from there copy the accounts you have selected onto clipboard
• You get a manage follower view, where you can unfollow / follow accounts, and add accounts to a given list. You can either enter accounts manually in the text field and apply action to them, paste from clipboard, or simply insert selected accounts from the "bag" If you have one account on an instance where you have lost people you follow due to defederation, and another one where you want to follow them, simply go to the first account, select the addresses you want to follow, and switch to the other account, go to "manage followers", and click "insert from bag" and then "follow selected"
• The Manage Follower view indicates the direction I want to take Trunkfriends. While the ability to see if you have lost friends as a result of defederation has been the reason Trunkfriends was made, it would be nice if the app had some more useful aspects that were not quite so depressive. In coming releases, I will add functionality to help you manage your followers, your lists, your blocks, etc.
• A gentle reminder though, Trunkfriends is still regarded to be alpha state. This means the testing and quality is not deemed "production ready". If you do not feel comfortable with Trunkfriends having write / follow access to your account, do not obtain new token, the old one will work fine as long as you don't use the "manage account" functions. Take care using the "manage account" functions, look over what Trunkfriends tells you it will do. The functionality has been tested through several times, but issues may still exist.

• Release packages has been built for windows and linux. Click on OS to get to the info on where to obtain and how to install the packages
• A few bugs have been fixed, it is now not possible to select a server instance when importing followers. In the history view, when zooming in on a user and not being on the first page in a multipage history view, the application crashed. This is now fixed, and zoom should work properly.
• As this application was written in quite a rushed fashion, while at the same time trying to understand how things are supposed to be done in Jetpack Compose (the UI framework used), the application suffers from overly messy code. Some tidy up have been done, but lots remains, focus was on making the code for history overview a bit more tidy. Tidy code = less likely to be buggy!
• Next on the menu is:
  • The ability to select one or more usernames, and copy these onto the clipboard. This way, you can take them to the mastodon UI and paste them into follow them. Handy if you have migrated and want to reconnect with lost connections.
  • This is the first step towards the next goal of Trunkfriends, managing your followers and lists more easily than you can in the UI. This is also on the menu, but a bit further up.
  • More code cleanup.
