Just in time for Giving Tuesday, you may now see a banner at the bottom of your timeline inviting your support for Mastodon’s continued development (only when logged in to [mastodon.social](http://mastodon.social) or mastodon.online). You’ll also see a bunch of improvements, small and large:

Filters work better!

  • Concealed posts no longer take up the full space of their content, which should make scrolling past them less arduous.
  • Filtered posts now tell you which filter they triggered!
  • Filters with the “hide” action should now actually remove posts from your feed completely, as intended.
  • Content warnings have also been updated slightly — as on the web, if the content warning text is empty, only the attached image will be hidden.

Your privacy is better guarded…

  • When you log out of an account, logging in again will now require re-entering the username and password.
  • Deleting the app from your device and reinstalling will now launch as if you had never logged in.

The new user experience is a little better…

  • The “Find people to follow” view is now dismissable even after you’ve viewed a profile.
  • When you follow someone from the “Find people to follow” view, your blank feed will update immediately… and hopefully show you some cool stuff!

Some small visual improvements…

  • Vertical-stacked layout of edit history labels, which fixes some spectacularly bad layouts when the localized strings are lengthy.
  • Dark Mode icon now has a dark ‘m’.

And finally…

  • Fewer crashes! File this under the customarily bland description “stability improvements” because although the refactoring projects involved have all the drama of sword dancing with freshly honed blades for the developer involved, you will hopefully notice nothing.
