Changelog

User-facing changes for each release. iOS versions are tagged ios-v*, Mac versions macos-v* (RELEASING.md).

Unreleased

• New name: Memvo (was CloudGallery), with new bundle IDs, so it installs as a new app: sign in once and your library comes back. Existing libraries in Telegram keep working unchanged.
• Own repository. Memvo is now a standalone, community-driven project under the GPL-3.0, with a contributor agreement, issue forms, an approved-issue rule for pull requests, CI on every pull request and automated reviews. The iOS and Mac apps live side by side (iOS/, macOS/, Shared/).
• Sign-in: login codes of any length (Telegram sends 5 or 6 digits) and codes sent as a word or phrase.
• Telegram account problems are explained plainly: frozen accounts, and limits on creating channels.
• About shows the source code, license, privacy policy, help and the licenses of included libraries.
• Privacy manifests for both apps (no tracking, no data collected).
• Release builds no longer contain the test switches used by UI tests.
• Sign-in starts at your phone number in every build; a build without Telegram app keys asks for them after.
• iPhone only for now (it still runs on iPad in iPhone mode), and a demo library for App Review that never connects to Telegram.
• New website pages: changelog and privacy policy.
• Fast cloud videos: each video you back up also gets a small fast version (about a tenth of the size), so it plays at once from your Telegram library. The quality button in the viewer switches to the original at any time, and older videos can get one with Make Fast Version. Cloud videos seek instantly, keep playing when you switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, and the videos on screen and the photos next to the one you're viewing are fetched ahead so they open at once.
• Saving a cloud video shows its progress and can be cancelled.
• Recently Deleted for your backup: deleting from the cloud keeps the item for 30 days, so you can recover it.
• Versions restart at 0.1.0 for both apps in this repository, released with a one-button Release workflow. Compiler warnings fixed on both platforms.
• Backups keep everything Photos keeps, and Save to Photos puts photos back as they were: the original with its edit (Revert in Photos still works), the RAW of RAW + JPEG photos, Live Photos, favourites, hidden photos and the same albums. Photos backed up earlier get the missing pieces from your iPhone or Mac at the next backup.
• Include hidden photos in the backup (off by default). Memvo never shows them, and they come back hidden.
• Share Original (touch and hold Share on iPhone) and Export Unmodified Original on the Mac.
• Save all to Photos (Backup → Tools): everything that's only in your Telegram library back to Photos in one go, with a space check first, progress and Stop. If it stops, run it again and it continues.
• Your library comes back faster on a new device: Memvo keeps a compact index of your library in your Telegram library, so a new iPhone or Mac shows everything after reading only the latest changes, then checks the rest in the background.
• Change your passphrase, and a recovery key for encrypted libraries: if you forget the passphrase, the recovery key opens your library. Libraries created before get one in Settings → Libraries → Add a recovery key; your photos in Telegram stay exactly as they are.
• Big photos open at once from the cloud: RAW photos and photos over 3 MB get a small screen copy when backed up, shown immediately while the original loads when you zoom in. Photos backed up earlier get one gradually, from files already on your iPhone or Mac. Sharing, saving and exporting always use the original.
• Smoother timeline during a backup in large libraries: only the photos that changed are updated, instead of the whole library being read again every second or two.

Before this repository

Released from the earlier fork, under the name CloudGallery, as iOS 1.0.0 and 2.0.0 betas. If you installed one of those, delete it and install 0.1.0; your library comes back when you sign in.
