ChurchTools Chat - Releases

Fixed

• Personal and admin settings sections now use a dedicated app-dark.svg icon (black fill) instead of reusing the white app.svg meant for the app menu. Nextcloud expects two separate icon files per app — a light one for colored/dark backgrounds (the top app menu) and a dark one for light backgrounds (settings sidebar, apps list), matching the app.svg/app-dark.svg convention used by Nextcloud core apps (e.g. theming, user_ldap, files_external).

Fixed

• App icon now uses a white fill (matching Nextcloud core apps' convention) instead of currentColor, which rendered solid black in the app menu because the icon is displayed via <img>, an isolated context where currentColor cannot inherit the page's text color.

Changed

• Rewrote the Nextcloud App Store description with a formatted feature list and setup instructions.

Added

• Group context in the chat inspector: a uniquely named visible ChurchTools group can be opened in a dialog with visibility, type, category, description, leadership roles, and a direct ChurchTools link.
• Matching Nextcloud Teams and their user-visible linked folders and Deck boards are shown alongside the ChurchTools group.

Changed

• Raise the minimum supported Nextcloud version to 33 so team membership and team resources can be resolved through the public Teams API.

Added

• Mentions autocomplete (B10): typing @ in the composer lists the active members of the current chat, narrowing as you type, and sends a real Matrix intentional mention (m.mentions), so mentioned users are notified and highlighted for them.

Fixed

• Load Matrix rooms without requiring the administrator-only ChurchTools /api/chat metadata endpoint.
• Report forbidden ChurchTools resources separately from invalid access tokens.
• Preserve valid UTF-8 in Matrix rich-reply bodies when removing the fallback quote.
• Show the initial room snapshot without waiting for the first incremental Matrix long poll.
• Keep the conversation list, message timeline, and composer inside independent bounded scroll regions when chats or room lists are long.
• Center the older-message control and keep conversation previews at normal font weight while retaining emphasized conversation names.

Changed

• Document the administrator permissions and inference limits that apply to future ChurchTools group and event chat linking.
• Build the initial room list from the Matrix sync snapshot, with only targeted profile fallbacks instead of per-room member and message requests.
• Build Docker and release packages from the same filtered, installable app staging directory.

Fixed

• Allow logged-in non-admin users to connect their own ChurchTools and CT Chat accounts and use all personal chat routes as intended.

Added

• Reactions: choose any emoji from the picker in the message actions, toggle a reaction on the reaction chips, and highlight your own reactions. Your own reactions can be removed again (un-react).

Fixed

• Fixed App Store release packaging failing with a tar: stdout: write error caused by a SIGPIPE race between tar and grep -q during archive verification.
