1.17.12

Diode Collab v1.17.12 was released on July 28, 2025

#Show Zone owner on Discover page

The Discover page Zone cards now show the Zone owner’s username so interested members have more context on the Zone.

#Use fast join if Zone has a Canister

The time to join a Zone will be reliably much faster (order of seconds) if a Zone has been configured with an Internet Computer Protocol Canister.

The Zone’s self custody Canister uses cross-chain membership validation, coupled with consensus-based encryption key assembly (vetKeys), in order to quickly and securely bootstrap the join process. Without Canister technology, the join process can stall for a new Team Member if their new Zone has no other online team members.

#Request download of chat file upon view

When a user clicks on a chat file to view it, the sync/download process of the file is now automatically started.

#Shuffle top performing nodes faster

Up to ten regional nodes are now shuffled every sixty seconds, keeping the top five performers in the connection pool. This will ensure that the best connections are available to the app at all times, making fail overs more seamless.

#Fix: Show “Nobody” instead of empty space in file download list

The file transfers window has been improved - it now shows “Nobody” instead of an empty space if there are no sources for a desire file. Also, instead of showing any contributor to a file chunk, the transfer list shows the actual current file chunk providers.

#Fix: Validate join codes faster

Join codes require validation before they are used - this validation step has been improved. However, depending on the network connection, validation can still take a few seconds - this will be further improved in the future.

#Fix: Improve Discover page card loading

Community Zone cards on the Discover page now load more quickly.

#Fix: Improve channel name validation

When creating a channel name, it was previously possible to use a blank name, which would cause an app error. This has been fixed - the channel name must now be populated with valid input.
