Long time no see, Choqok users!

First of all Choqok has a new and shiny website. Kudos to Carl Schwan for taking care of the theme!

To me, version 1.7.0 was meant to be released more than one year ago, while I just released it today.

The main reason of the delay (a part from lack of time) is because I wanted 1.7.0 to be bullet proof (spoiler: it’s not).

I wanted Choqok 1.7.0 to have full Mastodon support, proper media attachments and a lot more.

Let’s try to start somewhere. With this version I want to close a Choqok era and prepare us for the next one. Stay tuned!

Changes for this release:

• Port to QtNetworkAuth and drop qoauth dependency
• Allow to disable accounts
• Honour the default font #372291
• Make the sign footer consisent between all microplugins
• Unread post count in the application title sums all unread posts’ accounts
