New version 1.6.30 → 1.6.35

Hi there! We've got some great new features for you in this update. ***1.6.35: • Choose from 20 app icons in Settings on iPhone and iPad. • Long chats now preserve earlier context before the next model response, with safer handling when requests are cancelled or interrupted. • Scroll through long conversations and verify that scrolling remains smooth while the floating date indicator updates. • While a model is responding, scroll through the conversation and verify that the visible history stays stable, then catches up when scrolling stops. • Start a model response, leave OpenClient, and verify that its Live Activity shows progress through reasoning, tool use, image generation, and saving. • Minor bug fixes and improvements for a smoother experience. ***Recent Updates: • Fixed an issue that could cause the app to freeze when manually scrolling while a model was responding, or after several responses. • On macOS, add OpenClient widgets to the desktop or Notification Center and test New Chat, Search, Quick Actions, Continue Chat, Recent, Pinned, and Tagged Conversations. • On macOS, add the New Chat control and verify that it opens the app directly in a new conversation. • Chat messages now show their time, with a floating date indicator when scrolling through conversation history. • Test the new per-tool MCP permissions and approval flow: set tools to Always Allow, Ask, or Deny, then review requested MCP calls before execution. • You can now support OpenClient with optional monthly or annual subscriptions, alongside one-time coffee purchases. No features are locked. • Fix widgets layout issues. • Major improvements to iCloud conversation syncing, especially when switching between devices or returning to the app. • New section in Settings to manage iCloud data. • General stability, reliability, and performance improvements. • You can now generate images directly in chat with supported models. • We’ve added update notifications so you can easily keep the app up to date. • The app can now display important announcements and news directly on the Home screen. • We’ve improved how maintenance periods are handled, providing a clearer experience when the service is temporarily unavailable. • RAW images selected from Photos are now processed correctly before being sent. • Major improvements to iCloud conversation syncing, especially when switching between devices or returning to the app. • Fixed several issues with conversations changed or deleted on other devices. • General stability, reliability, and performance improvements. Thanks for your continued support and for helping us build the best possible LLM client together. Remember: you can suggest and vote on new features from the Feedback section in Settings.
