Version 2.0.0

Big release. NextPass received a complete overhaul: new under the hood technologies to make it faster, smarter and more reliable; new features; tons of bug fixes; some UI adjustments and much more. Note that this version could introduce breaking changes updating from previous versions.

• New HTTP library Ktor:

  • NextPass does not use Nextcloud's SSO library anymore, and this means that it won't require Nextcloud's Files to be installed anymore (everything is now managed inside NextPass itself);
  • Ktor supports PATCH HTTP method, and this means that updating passwords is now done properly and NextPass comes now with new features that were impossible with SSO library;
  • Faster and more reliable network requests;
  • Smarter network response parsing.

• New json library Kotlinx-serialization:

  • NextPass started with just Java's json library, then Jackson was added, then Gson was added, then Gson replaced Java's library, then Gson took down Jackson too and now Kotlinx-serialization won the seat;
  • Faster, more reliable and smarter json serialization/desarialization using only Kotlin;
  • Removed horrible workarounds that were necessary with Gson.

• New features:

  • Updating passwords will work exactly as intended;
  • Update tags;
  • Update folders;
  • Add tags to passwords;
  • Add tags to new passwords;
  • Enable folder mode by default;
  • Reset user preferences without logging out from Nextcloud;
  • New secure integrated webview to access the Nextcloud server.

• Visual improvements:

  • Shimmer effect on loading favicons;
  • Better corners for favicons;
  • Show app icon in autofill items if favicon is not available;
  • Added version code in 'About' screen for Android >= 9;
  • Adjusted padding here and there;
  • Fixed plurals here and there.

• So many bug fixes, I just can't remember them.

• Many under-the-hood improvements: code cleanup, lint, refactor and so on...

• Little performance boost.

• Updated libraries.
