We have shipped three back-to-back releases packed with new features, a sweeping architecture upgrade, and a solid round of fixes. Here's the full picture.
New Features
AI Image Generator
Generate images directly inside Ecency using AI. The new screen lets you enter a prompt, choose an aspect ratio, preview your Ecency Points balance and generation cost, then insert the result straight into your post or wave. Accessible from the editor toolbar, the quick post composer, and the Points dropdown menu.
Text-to-Speech Reader
Posts can now be read aloud. Tap the new Voice option in the post menu to start listening. A dedicated TTS settings sheet lets you pick your preferred voice, adjust reading speed and pitch, and test voices live - preferences are saved for future sessions. Fixed Chinese, Japanese, Korean letters on read time estimation and word count..
Extended Emoji Picker
The emoji picker has been expanded with a broader selection for posts, comments, and waves.
Image Upload with Resize
Images can now be resized before uploading, giving you control over file size and dimensions without leaving the app.
Architecture & Performance
SDK & Mutation Migration
The biggest change under the hood across these two releases: a comprehensive migration to @ecency/sdk mutation hooks for actions across the app - follow/unfollow, subscribe/leave communities, reblog, pin, transfers, boosts, claims, and more. This replaces legacy Redux thunks and direct private-key flows with auth-aware, cache-synchronized mutations, producing faster and more consistent UI feedback.
TanStack Query Cache Overhaul
Vote and comment state is now managed via TanStack Query caches instead of Redux, enabling optimistic updates with proper rollback on failure. Comments you post appear instantly in the thread while the blockchain transaction confirms in the background.
Waves Refactored to Host-Scoped Queries
Waves feeds are now driven by host-scoped infinite queries, improving reliability and pagination consistency.
Concurrent Image Uploads
Image uploads now run concurrently using Promise.allSettled, with centralized error handling and a 60-second timeout - significantly faster when attaching multiple images.
Auth & Signing Improvements
Resilient HiveAuth Broadcasts
HiveAuth broadcasting has been overhauled: single persistent HAS connection reuse, automatic key-type inference per operation, expiry detection, automatic re-authentication and retry on failure, and a new HiveAuthBroadcastSheet that handles in-flow signing without leaving the current context.
Posting Authority Prompt
A new PostingAuthoritySheet guides users through granting posting authority when an operation requires it, with HiveAuth fallback wiring across transfers, swaps, boosts, polls, and more.
Improved Auth Sheet
The login and authentication flow has been refined for a smoother experience, with proper lifecycle cleanup and debounced navigation.
Wallet & Tipping
Tipping flows have been migrated to currency-aware transfer mutations with improved amount formatting. The wallet screen has been refined alongside TTS improvements. Tipping balance loading is faster and a crash on empty balance has been fixed. Delegation management now uses cursor-based pagination to load full delegation lists reliably.
