Relay 0.5.9
This release is a performance-focused rewrite of the timeline. A leaner renderer hopefully means smoother scrolling in large rooms and fewer jumps and unexpected scrolls while messages arrive or the window resizes. All existing timeline features should still be preserved. The experimental "LazyVStack Timeline Renderer" toggle has been removed.
Because the renderer changed significantly, please regression-test:
- Scrolling smoothness in large rooms, and that your scroll position stays put when new messages arrive
- Swipe to reply (two-finger horizontal swipe)
- The scroll-to-bottom / return-to-live button
- Paginating up for older messages
- Read receipts still advancing and syncing to other clients
- Markdown, mention pills, spoilers, blockquotes, code blocks, tables, and link previews.
