Changes since v0.9.3.
Early release. In SemVer terms, anything may change before 1.0, including file formats, the HTTP API and settings, though changes to
.ochxand.ochfiles will come with conversions.
New
- Crowded durations stay readable (#316, [#323]): where many durations overlap the view, those whose start and end both fall within the grouping distance are drawn as one band, "Title + N more". Bands take only as many rows as fit (3 to 8 on a phone, up to 16 elsewhere), longest first, then by start, title and ID, so nothing reshuffles while you pan. The rest wait behind a "＋N more durations" chip. The grouped band and the chip open a list of the durations they stand for: paged, filterable by title, sorted longest first, by start or by title, each with Open and Fit in view. A crowded window keeps its 256 longest durations rather than the first 256 by start, and reports how many it holds, up to "10,000+". The server, the desktop app and the browser all do this; the HTTP API's
durationsquery gainsoverlapping: truewithtext,sortandoffset.
Fixed
- Animated moves start at once (#319, [#321]): keyboard zoom, the zoom buttons, Fit all, Fit in view and following the latest moments could spend their first frame redrawing an unchanged view on a busy page, because the animation's first frame saw no time pass. Keyboard zoom on a slow CPU took about 250 ms before the view moved; it now takes about 100–160 ms.
- A right-click just after scrolling keeps its menu open (#308, [#322]): the timeline's menu closed when the event for a scroll that had already finished arrived a frame late. It now closes only when what it was opened on actually moves.
