#Fedilab 3.16.4 has been published in beta.

Added:

- Cache home timeline in background (default disabled -> New settings category and it is per account) / you can change the frequency (default every hour)

- Auto-fetch missing messages for the Home (default disabled -> in Settings > Timelines)

- Automatically switch between tabs when searching

Fixed:
- Some crashes

@apps
So far the position in timeline is now very solid, even after restarts (to test) and a night sleep. Thank you!😁

One thing that I now notice, if I boost a message, the arrow is colored blue. If I see that message later again, my boost is not visible at all until I open the message. Is this expected behavior or a bug? 🤔
Android 13 Fedilab 3.16.4

@Lon
It seems the cache failed to be updated. Or maybe it was a boost from a boost?

@apps
It was not a boost. I have tested it now: I like a message and the star is yellow. I exit Fedilab and when I come back after a while to the timeline, the star is gone, until I open the message. I see the yellow star. If I then go back to timeline the star stays yellow... only until next time.
I have tried with enabled and disabled "clear cache when leaving", it made no difference.

Not a big problem for me personally, but perhaps not the way you want it to work. 😊

@Lon it only happens when adding to favorites? Is it for all timelines? What happens if you like a message - force kill the app and restart. Is it still in favorites with the yellow?

@apps
There is more: When I vote in a poll in Fedilab, I see the results and see what I voted. When I come back later, l don't see poll results, don't see what I voted, even if I open the message.
I can't vote again.
If I check in another app, I can see the results. See images.

@Lon
First screenshot is not from fedilab. It's a normal behaviour because the message was cached without votes. Just click on refresh.

@apps
The first screenshot is from other app with timestamp to show that it does not show later in Fedilab, and is proof that I voted.
Not after refresh, not after empty cache, not after kill app.
I have tried this multiple times.

@Lon
"Tap here to refresh" should fix that.

@apps
This does not fix it on my device, poll results are only visible when I open that message. See timestamp and number of voters that do go up.

@Lon it only happens from profiles?

@Lon also, let time between tests. Poll federation takes time. So the API will return not voted while it was. It's the same for follows.

@apps
It happens with poll, boost, star and bookmark.
I notice it in home timeline, notifications, lokal and global timelines and profiles.
The test is now 6 hours ago and still the poll is not displayed correct in Fedilab, see image with timestamp and the voters number has gone up.
