Diff Detail
Event TimelineComment Actions Reverted this diff because blob-hosted multimedia in thin threads will get shimmed by the keyserver to recent mobile clients. Even ignoring the fact that the current latest builds (after unpublishing 437 and 438, see ENG-9890) will fail to unshim blob-hosted multimedia messages, it's still probably not a good idea to launch this when only the latest mobile version is able to unshim the messages. The UX experience of being unable to see somebody's photo is pretty negative. This should probably be addressed in D13888 by updating the keyserver to stop shimming for not just the most recent codeVersion, but rather for any codeVersion that supports blob-hosted multimedia messages. Once that change is made, I think this would be safe to land again. |
