blindGram 9.3 hotfix: sign-in crash and spoken sending status
blindGram 9.3 Final, a hotfix released October 16, 2022, fixed a crash on the Telegram sign-in screen and made a message's sending state audible.
This is an archived release announcement. 9.2 had gone out the day before, and 9.3 followed as a quick fix: a startup crash that hit some users on the sign-in screen, plus a few small changes to what the screen reader says that were ready to ship.
Sign-in and stability
- For some users, blindGram closed on the Telegram sign-in screen as soon as it started. That crash was fixed.
What a message says
- Messages in groups became easier to read with a screen reader.
- A message that is still being sent now reports that state, so you know it has not gone out yet instead of guessing.
- Messages you had sent yourself were read with the word "Downloaded" attached. A new switch let you drop it. That switch is still there as Announce download state for my own messages under Announced with each message on the Messages page.
Folders and proxy
- A new action took you back to your default folder tab. Today it is Return to the default folder on the Chats page.
- Proxy settings could be shown in the side drawer menu. Telegram has since removed that drawer, and the same idea lives on as Always show Proxy settings in More options on the Menu page.
The release this one patched is described in the blindGram 9.2 release notes. For today's app, use the download page.
