There’s a new build available for the Astra testers. This build adds “message bubbles” which look an awful lot like SMS conversations on the iPhone. It’s nice, simple, and my personal favorite minimalistic. The new view is currently only available when using the Cordonata skin, so that may be a problem for some. Another issue users may have is the time stamp is missing (gah!), though the devs promise to add it back very soon.
