ONYX v1.2-beta - now actually comfortable to use

I've been working on ONYX for a while now, and v1.1 was honest about one thing — it was secure, but using it every day felt like a chore. This update is mostly me fixing that.


What's new

  • File uploads now show a preview and progress.
  • Message forwarding — took longer than it should have, but it's in
  • Keyword search across chats
  • Smooth send/receive animations — on by default if you search the settings, and I liked having them
  • Tap a reply to jump to the original message
  • Message pinning (local only for now — I want to add it for both sides in next patches)

Improved

  • LAN mode stability — this one was long overdue
  • General performance

Fixed

  • LAN mode connection issues
  • Various bug fixes

Still a lot to do.
