| 4 | + |
| 5 | +### What's changed |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +* Use Android's new EXIF interface to mitigate security issues in old |
| 8 | + EXIF interface. |
| 9 | +* Make the icon that helps view the upload queue always visible as it ensures |
| 10 | + that the queue accessible at all times. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## v5.1.0 |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +### What's Changed |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +* Enhanced **upload queue management** in the Commons app for smoother, sequential |
| 17 | + processing, clearer progress tracking, prevention of stuck or duplicate |
| 18 | + uploads. As part of this improvement, the "Limited Connection mode" has been |
| 19 | + removed. |
| 20 | +* Added an option in "Nearby" feature enabling users to **provide feedback on |
| 21 | + Wikidata items**. Users can report if an item doesn’t exist, is at a different |
| 22 | + location, or has other issues, with submissions tagged for easy tracking and |
| 23 | + updates. |
| 24 | +* Improved the "Nearby" feature by splitting the query into two parts for faster |
| 25 | + loading and **better performance, especially in areas with dense amount of |
| 26 | + places**. This update also resolves issues with pins overlapping place names. |
| 27 | +* Upgraded AGP and **target/compile SDK to 34** and make necessary adjustments to |
| 28 | + the app such as adding **"Partial Access" support**. Also includes some minor |
| 29 | + refactoring, and replacement of deprecated circular progress bars. |
| 30 | +* Fixed an **UI issue where the 'Subcategories' and 'Parent Categories' tabs |
| 31 | + appeared blank** in the Category Details screen. Resolved by optimizing view |
| 32 | + binding handling in the parent fragments. |
| 33 | +* Fixed an issue where editing depictions removed all other structured data from |
| 34 | + images. Now, **only depictions are updated, preserving other associated data**. |
| 35 | +* Fixed **map centering** in the image upload flow to **use GPS EXIF tag location** |
| 36 | + from pictures and ensured "Show in map app" accurately reflects this location. |
| 37 | +* Fixed navigation **after uploading via Nearby by directing users to the Uploads |
| 38 | + activity** instead of returning to Nearby, preventing confusion about needing to |
| 39 | + upload again. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +### Bug fixes and various changes |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +* Improved the "Nearby" feature to fetch labels based on the user's preferred |
| 44 | + language instead of defaulting to English. |
| 45 | +* Added a legend to the "Nearby" feature indicating pin statuses: red for items |
| 46 | + without pictures, green for those with pictures, and grey for items being |
| 47 | + checked. A floating action button now allows users to toggle the legend's |
| 48 | + visibility. |
| 49 | +* Fixed an issue where the "Nominate for deletion" option is shown to logged out |
| 50 | + users, preventing app errors and crashes. |
| 51 | +* Updated the regex pattern that filters categories with an year in it to also |
| 52 | + filter the 2020s. |
| 53 | +* Fix an issue where past depictions were not shown as suggestions, despite |
| 54 | + being saved correctly. |
| 55 | +* Fixed an issue in custom image picker where exiting the media preview showed |
| 56 | + only the first image and cleared selections. Now, previously selected images |
| 57 | + are restored correctly after exiting the preview. This was contributed. |
| 58 | +* Fixed an issue in custom image picker where scrolling behavior did not |
| 59 | + maintain position after exiting fullscreen preview, ensuring users remain at |
| 60 | + the same point in their image roll unless actioned images are filtered. This |
| 61 | + was contributed. |
| 62 | +* Fixed Nearby map not showing new pins on map move by removing the 2000m scroll |
| 63 | + threshold and adding an 800ms debounce for smoother pin updates when the map |
| 64 | + is moved. Queued searches are now canceled on fragment destruction. |
| 65 | +* Revised author information retrieval to emphasize the custom author name from |
| 66 | + the metadata instead of the default registered username. |
| 67 | +* Enhanced notification classification to properly identify "email" type |
| 68 | + notifications and prompting users to check their e-mail inbox when such |
| 69 | + notifications are clicked. |
| 70 | +* Resolved a bug in the language chooser that incorrectly greyed-out previously |
| 71 | + selected languages, ensuring only the current language is non-selectable during |
| 72 | + image upload. |
| 73 | +* Resolved pin color update issue in "Nearby" feature where the pin colour |
| 74 | + failed to be updated after a successful image upload. |
