Patchwork 3.8.7 Released

Haven't yet pushed this out as a notified update. Would like some confirmation that it works on Linux first (cc @Mikey).

Lots of small fixes! Unfortunately I haven't been able to update the embedded scuttlebot version due to some compatibility problems that are still to be fixed.

@matt - Linux feedback (mix is running Kubunutu 17.04 - debian based with an i3 interface).

Feedback on your release notes:

• AppImage needs chomod +x to be able to easily run from commandline
• starts fine, clicking around is all good
• When I open it I'm immediately told I am not following anyone:
  • this is what it shows while indexing
  • I feel rejected
  • propose: only show that when sync: true, don't just the gun
• tested most of the other things there, all seems good

Notes for future releases:

• I'd love for us to both use patch-suggest - we're both adding cool innovations and not getting the best of each other's work
• You should know about ssb-server-channel
  • an ssb server plugin which indexes channel things
  • I've over-ridden channel.obs.subscribed in #ticktack and it's super fast

Thanks @mix!

I'll go ahead and flush this release out for real then!

Thanks, good catch. I think I screwed up at some point when merging a PR and accidentally deleted a lot of the english strings

Have been slowly adding them back in as i found missing ones, but that one slipped through.

Okay, I just pushed out Patchwork v3.8.8 to address @mix and @Joey STANFORD's issues!

Thanks for reporting

Woops, sorry about the 'warning displaying on indexing' bug =p.

Thanks for testing better than I did =].

I'm an ideal tester - I like poking holes and I don't use patchwork everyday, so I'm more likely to bump into indexing bugs

Thanks @Matt McKegg, love your work
