What's Changed in v0.27.0

New Features

• The article list now has three exclusive modes — All, Unread and Starred — chosen from a pop-up button in the list toolbar or the View menu (⌘/Ctrl+1–3). Starred narrows the current feed, folder, tag or search to its starred articles for the session. #305
• Every feed being refreshed shows a small spinner in place of its icon in the feed list (collapsed folders too), on every platform, until its new articles have landed. #301
• On Android and iOS, automatic cloud sync now waits for Wi-Fi by default and is held back under Data Saver / Low Data Mode; a new "Sync automatically over mobile data" setting allows metered networks, and the Cloud Sync tab shows when a sync is waiting. #290
• iOS shows a refresh you started (pull, Refresh All, a feed's Refresh) in the bottom bar — "Checking for new articles…", then the result. A refresh that reaches none of its feeds leaves one notification-center entry explaining what to check. #287
• A pull or Refresh All made while an automatic refresh is running now joins it and reports its result. #301
• The reader keeps its scroll position after the app is terminated in the background (Android and iOS) and after the web content process restarts; iOS also returns to the column you were on. #308
• iPhone Duo support: the setup screen fits the outer display, and the article list toolbar prioritizes its most important items in vertical bars. #294
• The macOS app is now also available on the Mac App Store (updated by the App Store, without the built-in updater). #317, #318

Improvements

• Read / unread / star changes now sync in batches (after a few minutes of quiet, or when the app leaves the foreground) instead of uploading the whole database per article; refreshes no longer trigger extra syncs, and unchanged read/star writes are skipped. #289
• New-article notifications from automatic refreshes are held back while the app is in front, where the unread counts and the new-articles pill already show them. #301
• "Hide Read Articles" moved from the article list toolbar to the View menu, freeing toolbar room (on a narrow iPhone, Mark All as Read no longer drops into the overflow menu). #307
• Faster refresh and reading: each feed is applied as soon as its own fetch completes, the reader shows the article header while the body loads, favicons are no longer re-probed every refresh, and needless recompositions were removed. #295, #300, #310, #312
• Lower memory use during refresh, and repeated "feed gone" (410) warnings collapse into one entry per feed. #309
• Favicon corners now scale with their size, consistently across the feed list, article list and reader. #304

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an iOS crash when returning from the reader to the article list while the list changed (e.g. during a refresh or sync). #303
• Android no longer crashes when the reader's WebView renderer dies; the reader is rebuilt at the same position. #308
• "Mark all as read" now works under the Starred list. #305
• Search results keep their scroll position, and no "no articles" message flashes while the list is still loading. #295
• The setup screen scrolls on small iPhone displays instead of clipping the cloud providers. #292
• iOS: the sidebar sync button shows a spinner while syncing, and the reader's scroll indicator is visible in dark mode. #286, #285
• The desktop OAuth loopback redirect server now binds to 127.0.0.1, and macOS keychain decode failures never log tokens. #315
• Resolved Apple build warnings. #299

Build & CI

• Added a Mac App Store target without Sparkle, a CI check that its archive carries no self-updater, and a workflow that publishes it to App Store Connect. #317, #318, #320
• The App Store workflow builds the release tag by default and supports automatic or manual release. #288

Documentation

• README and docs describe the iOS/iPadOS app as released on the App Store, with App Store and Mac App Store screenshots and an updated download section. #291, #316, #321
• Shortened the external spec, moving implementation details into the focused design docs. #306

Other Changes

• Code-quality sweeps and test hardening (deterministic waits instead of sleeps, broader coverage). #293, #298, #311, #315
• Development-tooling updates. #302, #313, #314
