Velta 1.4.82 adds French, Russian, and an app catalog

Version 1.4.82 keeps the same core. The release is the language picker, a catalog of mini-apps, and a profile that opens straight away.

Français and Русский

Settings → Language now lists English, Français, and Русский. The choice is per device and reloads the app. Text that has no translation yet stays English, so a half-finished language file still leaves a usable screen. An exported settings message includes the choice.

Apps and Commands in the attach menu

Apps lists mini-apps you recently sent or opened. Browse apps… loads a webxdc catalog. Extra catalog addresses are tried in turn when one does not answer. Commands inserts a recent command into the composer. It does not send the message.

A profile opens without walking every chat

Tapping a group avatar used to walk every chat before the profile appeared, which stalled on a large account. Chats in common now loads when you open that section.

Also in this release

• A swipe on a video poster or an invite card replies or goes back. The tap that follows does not play the video or join the invite.
• The video player resumes where you left off, fills the screen, and keeps the playback speed you last chose. The reply button stays beside the bubble on a phone.
• Android calls show Speaker and Earpiece. Only the active route is highlighted, and a second tap can still override a headset.

Under the hood: no core bump, chatmail core 2.65.0 carries over. Receiving a profile on a second device starts mail when the transfer finishes, so the relay line does not stay on “no relay configured”. Switching chats releases video and audio decoders that have left the screen. The release notes also cover the 1 MB download floor, leaving a group or broadcast before it is deleted, Add a relay to this account, a named new channel, click-to-copy text, and the relay flags.
