This release makes chat smoother, faster, and more reliable with big improvements to navigation, attachments, infinite scrolling, and real-time updates.
Smarter Chat Navigation
A new skeleton loader improves perceived performance when switching conversations, while responsiveness issues in the navigator have been fixed. Infinite scrolling has been added for both chat rooms and messages, with loading indicators for smoother browsing.
Attachments Made Easy
You can now drag and drop files into the input field to attach them. Attachments are only enabled when an agent is connected, and a new error component provides clear feedback for failed uploads.
Real-Time Conversations
We’ve enhanced real-time updates with better caching, audio notifications for new messages, and more responsive state management. Chat room sorting, avatar display, and actor information in messages have all been improved for a cleaner experience.
