    Hello,

    AfterShock version 1.7.7 is already approved by Google and available for testing.

    What's included in this release:
    #B17 - Spurious "Unexpected M_EOB" error in incoming session [DONE] [1.7.7]
    A problem that was accidentally introduced in previous release.
    Going forward to have complete support of incoming connections.

    #B18 - Menu action items collapsed to overflow after AppCompat switch [DONE] [1.7.7]
    Another problem that was accidentally introduced in previous release.
    Now action icons are back.

    #I1 - Faster messages displaying (especially big ones) [DONE] [1.7.7]
    Echo and NetMail messages reading screen was rewritten from scratch
    in Kotlin language with switching to RecyclerView for faster message

    Hello Tolik,

    AfterShock version 1.7.7 is already approved by Google and available
    for testing.

    Unfortunately, I just can't seem to get it from the Google Store. It is only 7 SEK, but my payment fails with "transaction was declined" error :(
    Is there any other way to get the apk?

    Mvh,
    Alex.

    Tolik Vdovichev -> All:

    Hello,

    AfterShock version 1.7.7 is already approved by Google and available for testing.

    Testing...

    Icons are back, ok.

    I don't remember if this happened in previous versions:

    - if I cancel (drop) a reply, I'm taken back to the main app screen instead of to the message I was replying to.

    - in the main app screen, I see the beginning of the log. I'd prefer to see the most recent without having to scroll down to the end.

    Apart from that, I see some improvements in the interface. I like the white header and lightgray background body (light mode), and the back arrow in the header. But I think it would be better if it took you back to the message list when you go back on a message, instead of to the main app screen.

    This improvement unblocks uuencodes support and also step towards
    more convenient quotes removal.

    I can't wait to have that ;-)

    Carlos

    No, I'm not publishing this app anywhere else yet.
