Tusky 25.0

Tusky 25.0 is almost the same as 25.0 beta 1, with the exception of a few bugfixes for bugs found during the beta phase.

Changes to 24.1:

New features and other improvements

• Added support for the Mastodon translation api.
  You can now find a new option "translate" in the three-dot-menu on posts that are not in your display language when your server supports the translation api.
  Support is determined by checking the configuration.translation.enabled attribute of the /api/v2/instance endpoint.
  PR#4307
• The language of a post is now shown in the metadata section of the detail post view, if it is available. PR#4127
• The transitions between screens have been changed to feel faster and align more with default Android transitions. PR#4285
• The post statistic section below the detail post view is now always shown to prevent layout shifts on the first like or boost.
  PR#4205 PR#4260
• The filters for boosts/replies/self-boosts in the home timeline have moved from general preferences to account specific preferences. PR#4115
• The json parsing library has been migrated from Gson to Moshi. This change will make Tusky no longer crash on unexpected server responses. PR#4309
• Small layout improvements to the header of the profile view PR#4375 PR#4371
• support for Android 14 Upside Down Cake PR#4224
• Various internal refactorings to improve performance and maintainability.
