On Arch, `yay -S zapfast-bin`.\n\n## Fixed\n\n- **The disappearing messages timer opens its choices.** In 0.21.0 the timer in a chat's info panel showed the current setting, but a click or Enter on it did nothing. By @crmne. (#531)\n- **The info panel's header lines up with the chat header beside it.** Its edge sat a few points lower, and on the Messages theme, where the chat header has no edge, it drew a line of its own. By @crmne; thanks @ArthurWillers, who reported it. (#639)\n- **Videos whose files put the picture's aspect ratio before the decoder's settings play,** in the chat and when sent. ZapFast refused them as unsupported, and some cameras, phones and editing apps write their videos that way. By @crmne.\n\n## Known limitations\n\n- Calls are still a work in progress, as described in [0.20.0](https://github.com/crmne/zapfast/releases/tag/v0.20.0): video calls are in alpha, and in group calls your video stops for a moment every few seconds (#592).\n\n## Thanks\n\n@ArthurWillers for the report.\n\n**Full changelog**: https://github.com/crmne/zapfast/compare/v0.21.0...v0.21.1\n"},"readme":true,"readme_zh":false,"news":[{"title":"ZapFast: A fast, native WhatsApp client in Rust and egui","url":"https://github.com/crmne/zapfast","hn":"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50409855","source":"Hacker News","lang":"en","date":"2026-11-08","points":102,"comments":94},{"title":"ZapFast: o WhatsApp nativo que promete consumir muito menos memória no computador","url":"https://novidades.eurisko.com.br/zapfast-o-whatsapp-nativo-que-promete-consumir-muito-menos-memoria-no-computador/","source":"novidades.eurisko.com.br","lang":"en","date":"2026-11-04"},{"title":"WhatsApp pro počítače, který zabere jen zlomek paměti.
