And based on the list, I would propose the following release notes:
```auto
∙ Review new episodes from the new Inbox sreen, swipe them to discard or add to queue (@ByteHamster)
∙ Use swipe actions and quickly toggle Favourites on the Episodes screen (@ByteHamster)
∙ View a list of (unplayed) episodes in Android Auto (@tonytamsf)
∙ Scroll to the top of lists by long-pressing the toolbar (@ByteHamster)
∙ Bug fixes around authentication for podcasts & Nextcloud sync (@ByteHamster)
∙ Directly open localised documentation if availble (for now: da, fr, it, nl) (@ByteHamster)
```
We might need to add Spanish to the list of languages, but that should be fine in terms of the number of characters.

Thanks!
I would make the inbox change more explicit. Something like “Renamed the ‘new’ screen to Inbox and moved it to the side bar. This enables swipe actions”. Then it is more clear to existing users that it is the same screen.
PS: I’m glad we did not get a flood of emails this time 🎉 The new forum plugin seems to work.

I actually had something like that first, but this way it focuses on what the user now can do (rather than what decision we made). I think using ‘new episodes’ in the beginning of the sentence should already make it pretty clear. So personally I would keep it this way 🙂

Users are often upset by any change. They don’t want to do anything differently. Your suggestion sounds more like “you can do this new thing now”, while I think mine sounds like “don’t worry, don’t freak out, nothing really changed”. For existing users, I think the “nothing changed” message would upset fewer people. I feel like the “you can do this now” is something more targeted at new users who probably don’t read the changelog yet

I believe that many users are actually interested in new features & capabilities, as long as they can keep (or improve) their use habits. I think the fear is not about change per se, but about change that prevents them from doing what they always do (which isn’t the case here). And that this fear only comes out after seeing change in-app, not when reading the changelog.
But ok, fair enough. Here an updated proposal:
```auto
∙ View Episodes > New list now in a dedicated screen called Inbox, with swipe actions (@ByteHamster)
∙ Use swipe actions and quickly toggle Favourites on the Episodes screen (@ByteHamster)
∙ View a list of (unplayed) episodes in Android Auto (@tonytamsf)
∙ Scroll to the top of lists by long-pressing the toolbar (@ByteHamster)
∙ Bug fixes around authentication for podcasts & Nextcloud sync (@ByteHamster)
∙ Directly open localised documentation if availble (for now: da, fr, it, nl) (@ByteHamster)
```
(No need to mention it’s in the side bar - it’s quite prominent there.

How about this? (Removing the \> character)
```auto
View "New Episodes" list now in a dedicated screen called Inbox, with swipe actions
```
