Hey Everyone,

Summary time! First, a reminder that the Arbor Community Retreat is
June 19th from 9am-9pm (EDT). There will be hours of collaboration and
social fun/games interleaved throughout. Check out the details in the
6/10 link below.

Here's a round-up of what's been going on over the last several weeks:

Gio
- Tooltip support
- Markdown rendering - now you can have rich text and click links

Arbor

Hey Everyone,

Arbor is 3 years old! What a milestone!

What's been going on? The orchard message storage subsystem is almost
complete, specs have been written on how to use message metadata, user
notification/mentioning interviews, and some bug fixes (space bar
filtering) + refactors (forest). Another big leap, we now have an Open
Collective: https://opencollective.com/arbor-chat

A bunch more info can be found in the link below:

Hey Everyone,

Lots of changes came through in this iteration. The client received
several cosmetic changes to include a tighter message layout, scroll
positions, and identifying Root conversation nodes. Sprig now supports
multiple communities! You'll see a new workflow when launching Sprig
that allows you to toggle individual community subscriptions. Check
out more in the link below:

See you in the forest,

Hey Everyone,

A crippling iOS bug patched, infrastructure design discussion, and
figuring out what to do when users respond to the wrong messages. Read
more in the link below:

It's more important to get _something_ over nothing. We can revisit
the topic at a later date or when we find we actually need some of the
features that LXD provides. Thanks for trying to work through the LXD
stuff!

Happy New Year Everyone!

I'm bringing you a combined update today! I wouldn't consider it a
late New Year's gift or anything. I simply forgot to ship the last
update...

Updates in Sprig:
- Connection and sync banners during their respective activities
- Plumbing changes working toward per-community views
- Converting the build system from Make to Mage
- Profiling with a new flag!
- Visualization changes
- Investigating startup times in Windows

From: Josh Whetton <whetton.josh@gmail.com>

Translate some Makefile targets to use Mage: magefile.org
Targets now implemented in mage will be called by make
for backwards compatability.

Hey Everyone,

Big things over the last month! Sprig gained a new filter mode,
double-tap filtering, improved error handling, and iOS now has haptic
feedback! Big Gio rendering buffs are on the horizon as well. Check at
more at the link below:
