2016.2.18 — Change Log

Our blog has moved to our main website! Check us out on discord.com/blog to stay in the loop about future posts.

• New Bitrate settings are here per channel! Sound like a tin can (8kbps) a telephone (64kbps) or Professor X (96kbps). FYI Discord is 64kbps by default. Desktop and Chrome clients only! Everyone must be on the latest version of too.
• Drag ‘n Drop has been overhauled with a fancy new confirmation modal. No more accidentally dropping your… umm… homework into a Discord chat by accident.

• Create Server now auto selects the closest voice region to your mouth. It used to be random because we’re lazy.
• The iPad App is live with support for landscape, slide over, and split view. Say goodbye to your home button.
• Use Twitch partner emoji from your iPhone or iPad. No kappa yet though. We’re still working on that.
• Android Tablets now have a super legit UI. It’s like our iPad UI but powered by green robots.
• Android can now upload your finest photographs from your phone’s image gallery using the latest in high technology. It’s developed instantly and shared with your friends! Wow!
• Android Channel Settings can now be changed by users with Manage Channel permissions instead of running to your computer like a maniac.
• Notification Settings can be customized from your Android device. ‘Bout time.

• Fixed /me breaking with certain sentences (thanks /u/Always_Helpful).
• That really annoying microphone mute banner does not show up if we have ever detected voice in this session.
• Also the microphone mute banner can now be permanently disabled. Thank the heavens.
• The chat linkifier used to reveal your precious secrets by linkifying private text channels. Now it doesn’t.
• Clicking Save when editing a message now saves the message instead of obnoxiously losing your edits.
• Long channel names no longer cause the invite and setting icons to get flustered.
• Playing embedded videos no longer screws up your scroll position.
• Sub-pixel discoloration around server icons has been sub-scrubbed.
• Channel name, Invite, and Settings buttons on muted channels are no longer impossible to see on hover.
• The file upload in-progress indicator got a make over.
• If you try to upload a file that’s too large Discord will let you know it’s unhappy instead of just ignoring you.
• Copy and pasting into upload disabled channels no longer pretends to upload something.
• Chrome now defaults to 64kbps for voice channels just like the Discord Desktop app.
• Many app images have been compressed resulting in about ~10% file size reduction for image assets.
• Fixes a bug where clicking on a ridiculously large image would cause the desktop app to restart on Windows.
• Improves the way images are loaded when clicking on them by showing a loading indicator instead of a partially loaded image while it’s being loaded.
• Fixed a bug where servers would sometimes get stuck waiting around for endpoints.

On iOS Too

• Message rendering has been disciplined and will be less wonky.

• Drawer optimization.

And Android Got Better
