1.4.1
Patch after 1.4.0 — language selectors show flags in the dropdown.
1.4.1 is a small follow-up to 1.4.0. It does not change the side panel architecture. It fixes language menus that could not show flags in the open list.
| Area | What changed | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Language selectors | Native `<select>` menus cannot render SVGs in options. The extension now uses a custom select for UI language, presence language, onboarding, and per-presence locale. Each option shows its flag (or a globe for Auto / per-presence). The website footer language menu includes flags in the list as well. | You can tell English, French, and Spanish apart in the open menu, not only from the closed trigger. |
Language selectors
The previous language controls overlaid a flag on the closed field and used a native HTML select. Browsers strip custom markup from <option>, so the open list was text-only.
The extension dropdown is now a custom listbox (portal, so it is not clipped by rounded settings cards). The website footer still uses the shared Select, with a flag next to each locale in the menu.
After an update
Chrome and Firefox store builds still open https://nowly.me/changelog/{manifest version} on onInstalled with reason === "update". For this release that URL is /changelog/1.4.1. Unpacked reloads do not open a tab.
