[Alpha] Greenline - A qml Whatsapp client for Ubuntu Touch

[brenno.almeida]

There's a new release for this app. I recommend disconnecting an connecting Whatsapp after installing this update using the settings since there was some rework on how messages are represented, which can lead to old glitched messages. Since its an alpha, I'm not guaranteeing consistency on each update:

• Better offline mode: now if the app has no connection, messages are queued to be sent once connection is back
• Optimizations for rooms that had a lot of replied messages, should load faster now
• Now the pending / sent / delivered / read icons matches closely with whatsapp
• Better handling when whatsapp servers are unavailable, avoiding app crashes
• Better media previews: now you can zoom in / out images, its easier to pause / reproduce videos, and better look and feel
• Fixed a bug where if the person used whatsapp on two devices (like web and app), its chat appeared duplicated and in groups the profile picture did not appear when the message was sent from the second device
• Prevent app crash when trying to download media while offline

The installation went smoothly and without any issues.

One thing that would be really useful:

When there are lots of new messages for a contact or in a group, I can see the correct number (e.g. 20). Perfect!
When I go into the chat and want to read the messages, I can’t tell which 20 are the new ones.
When the contact or group chat is opened, you should be able to see which messages haven’t been read yet.
When you leave the chat, all messages should be marked as read.
Now I have to spend time reading the messages to figure out if I’ve already read them.

Many thanks for your work on this exciting implementation of a third-party WhatsApp solution in QML for Ubuntu Touch!
