# Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug in the previous version where signing out needed to be done twice to fully sign out.
• Fixed blocking comment authors, and displaying the "no comments" view if all fetched comments are blocked.
• Fixed "authentication required" popping up when going to the Library tab while signed out.

• The Following tab will always show followed content, fixing the bug where suggestions to follow were shown instead.
• Fixed content suddenly starting in background (audio-only) after quickly closing the player.
• Rewritten Wallet/SharedPreference model for easier development of features. 0.8.2 Sep 9 We're very sorry about the bug in the previous version, where your followed channels and other preferences weren't loading. This has been fixed in this version!

The issue was due to accounts created in the older versions of the iOS app not supporting playlists, and this version fixes that by adding a migration for older accounts' preferences.

The app's startup flow has also been improved, with a certain error no longer stopping the app from launching. Furthermore, error messages are properly displayed, no more vague text asking you to try again! 0.8.1 Aug 13 This is a big one! Look out for lots of lists (Playlists, Following, and Watch History!)

There's also quality of life improvements such as restoring playback position, clickable timestamps, and looping!

# Features
