• /news clear flat|threaded|all chat command wipes news on the live server (admin, deleteNewsBundles); audited as news_reset.

• Plain-news posts end with a blank line and an underscore divider instead of dashes.
• heidrun-admin news reset notes that a running server overwrites it.

• Accessibility
• Screen readers can name every button, the users list (with who is away or an admin), text inputs, chat views, news, transfers, previews and the dock's panes, and are told of private messages, mentions, a lost connection and changes to the layout; a tracker's section reads as its title rather than every server in it
• More works from the keyboard: the chat view (Tab through its links, nicks, pictures and "load more" rows, Enter to open one, Menu or Shift+F10 for its menu, Ctrl+A to select all), the users list's menu (Menu or Shift+F10), links in news, the server banner, Escape to close dialogs, F10 for the main menu, F6 to move between panes from anywhere, and Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+6 for the panels
• A Keyboard Shortcuts window (Ctrl+?) lists every key
• Clicking a notification opens the conversation it was about; a second launch with --server or --bookmark connects in the running GtkHx instead of opening another
• Themes step aside for the system's high-contrast setting, and links are underlined rather than told apart by color alone
• Away and admin names in the users list are easier to read when the theme doesn't color them
• Transfers
• The Tasks panel is now Transfers, holds only downloads and uploads, and has a new icon; it stays where your saved layout put it

• Connecting
• A lock in the header bar shows when the connection is encrypted with TLS or HOPE; its tooltip names the TLS version and cipher suite, or the HOPE cipher
• Settings
• The icon picker fits its window again when wide banner icons are installed, instead of cutting off its columns and scrolling sideways
• Tabs
• Fixed a crash when dragging a connection tab off the tab strip and back. A tab dragged off its tab bar now stops at the edge, so connection and chat tabs no longer end up in each other's bars

• Docking
• A new dock, built on mullion-gtk in place of libpanel; your layout carries over
• A pane's tabs sit in its top corner as icons, shown when the pane has room or while you are in it; Pane Titles brings back tab strips with titles

• Reset Layout takes effect at once, rather than at the next launch
• A pane closes when its last panel is moved out or closed, and a panel's toolbar button and menu item always bring it back

Good day!

It's Fall, and looking at this project's history, that apparently means it's Hotline update season! (new releases falling and such, you get it)

The promise has been that we will only support the most recent 2 releases of macOS. Though I didn't adjust the OS version number in this build, the next build will. So anything less than macOS 26 will no longer be supported. This helps keep the project and app fresh and working on Apple's latest while also reducing the complexity of working on this project so it doesn't become a burden.

• Server themes! Each server now takes on colors to make each server feel like a unique space. These colors are pulled from a server's banner image. You can disable themes in settings.
• New connection interface! I've taken a stab at rethinking the connection form in Hotline. Now you can just start typing a server name into the address field and it will show suggestions based on your bookmarks and any trackers you have added automatically. Recent servers appear under the address field.
• Liquid Glass! Some Liquid Glass effects are now used in the toolbar and a few other places.
• Full color toolbar: we're now generating more colors from server banners to make the toolbar even more themed.
• Instant server banners: we now cache server banners locally so you see it immediately upon signing in.
