@nestort Yes, in some cases AndStatus doesn't retrieve conversation from a server, but shows only previously loaded messages of the conversation. Now you need to press "Sync" button in the Action bar to get the latest messages of the conversation from the server.
I see that I need to do this syncing automatically in any case, on every conversation opening?!
BTW I automatically monitor "AndStatus" word and the #AndStatus hashtag in all connected social networks using syncing Search timelines, so I received your mentioning AndStatus from several places.
Tip: #Mastodon supports search by a hashtag only, so please use #AndStatus for even better discoverability :-)

@cajon I think no application is for some concrete use case.
Benefits of #AndStatus are when you use it for several Social networks. -

I created an issue ticket for #F-Droid lacking status health dashboard and being a black box for developers, publishing their applications via F-Droid.

In appears that due to recent #F-Droid build server problems #AndStatus v.36.05 build was not prepared for F-Droid users.
Now when v.36.06 has been released (and is available, as usual, here: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/456 ) I hope that this new version will be more lucky :-) -

@bradfonseca #AndStatus v.36.05 released to Production four days ago, it's available at Google Play and is expected at F-Droid...
v.36.06 is in Beta now with a fix for posted message editing (supported by Pump.lo only) and several permissions removed that aren't needed for modern Android. https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/456 https://loadaverage.org/attachment/4005905 -

#AndStatus v.36.04 beta "Activities instead of messages, and enhancements of Notifications" is published at an Open Beta testing channel, see https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/456
In this beta release:
1. Translations for 6 new languages added and several existing updated. Many thanks to all volunteer translators making this work at https://crowdin.com/project/andstatus BTW it's not too late to complete what's not done yet, please check that site.
2. Fixed a crash in Android 8, when syncing occurred in a background. This was the only problem reported during previous two weeks of beta testing, which confirms my observations that AndStatus is close to be released.
Please report any new major problems to be fixed before a release to the wider audience to https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues https://loadaverage.org/attachment/3995550 -

@hier So far no security updates of #AndStatus itself were ever needed. All security-related changes were caused by changes at a server side, which required network protocol changes for client applications including AndStatus.
I don't think similar protocol changes will be implemented in older versions of AndStatus.
What you may really need are security updates for Android firmware on your device. -

In #AndStatus v.36 in addition to a number of new events (activities/messages), notifications now show an Account (in a case a notification is for one account only) and time, when the last event occurred. https://loadaverage.org/attachment/3966697 -

#AndStatus v.36.01 "Activities instead of messages, and enhancements of Notifications" is published at an Open Beta testing channel, see https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/456
As there are lots of changes, your help in updating translations is needed https://crowdin.com/project/andstatus
What's new:
1. This is a major change of AndStatus, which is available for Android 7.0+ devices only and which may require quite a long database upgrade on the first run after the upgrade.
2. The whole internal data model of the application has changed from working with "messages" to working with "activities", allowing to present social networks in a richer way and to solve many old problems. E.g. after reblogging of a message the message doesn't "jump" to the top of a timeline, as before: now you see a new "Reblog action" for this message at the top the timeline.
The same for Like/Favorite and Follow/"Stop following" actions.
Usage of this feature to its full potential requires its support in a Social network. As of now only Pump.io fully supports activities; Mastodon sends activities in its "Notifications" timeline only.
For legacy server timelines that contain messages only, AndStatus also presents Reblogs as activities, because a "Reblog" _is_ an action even in "Twitter-like" implementations. "Messages" from legacy timelines are interpreted as Update actions of these messages.
3. Direct messages and timelines renamed to Private with corresponding changes in their content.
4. "Notifications" timeline added, which shows activities that are configured to be notified about in AndStatus Settings -> Notifications. You can be notified about: Followers, Favorites, Mentions, Reblogs, unset messages in the Outbox and about Private messages.
5. Notifications, shown in Android Notification area and in the AndStatus Widget, are not forgotten anymore. These notifications are persisted even after device reboot. Notifications are reset when a User opens correspondent timeline e.g. by clicking on the Notification or a Widget. #367 and #398
In addition to a number of new events (activities/messages), notifications now show an Account (in a case a notification is for one account only) and time, when the last event occurred. #158
6.For Twitter messages character limit increased up to 280 characters. #158
7. Dropped support for older Android devices. Minimal supported Android version is 7.0 now. This change allows application developers to start using modern Java 8 language enhancements, including functional programming. https://loadaverage.org/attachment/3966689 -

@hier Current version of #AndStatus is 35.06, and it can be used for Android devices v.4.4+ as long as you need.
Next version will be for newer devices/firmware, and this is natural cause of software evolution.
Sadly, but I also had to buy new tablet for myself in order to use newer applications... -

@xrevan86 In short, the decision to switch to #Android 7.0 minimum was made to motivate me, @yvolk - developer of #AndStatus, to continue active improvement of this #OpenSource application.
I am a professional Java/Scala developer, and as a majority in our profession I need to keep my skills up-to-date. Starting from Android 7, developers can use all new and trending features of Java 8 and modern application approaches, including functional programming. Especially after mastering #Scala I simply cannot use outdated language patterns... As one of my colleagues put it: I simply cannot afford writing for free something that is not a "Cutting edge".
I think that this is not bad for all of us in the long run?! -

@nikoofdeath Thanks. Hope that you have at least Android 7.0, because upcoming release of #AndStatus won't support older firmware.
BTW in Android 8.1 news I read that this newest version of #Android could be run on devices with only 1GB or RAM...
