Android Versions / Release Dates / Dropped Features

[ml48603]

Date of this post is 2017-06-12

Rocket.Chat Version: 0.56
Running Instances: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server with Snappy 2.25
Android Apps:
RocketChat+ Rated 3.6 is version 1.0.14 released 6/7/2017
RocketChat Rated 3.3 is version 2.5.0 released 12/22/2016

To get a "complete" experience I have both versions installed and running at the same time. Depending on which of the four features is needed, one app or the other is used. Both versions considered together have 4 important features I am interested in.

RocketChat+ Rated 3.6 is version 1.0.14 released 6/7/2017
Feature #1 Loading of hyperlinks into external web browser

RocketChat Rated 3.3 is version 2.5.0 released 12/22/2016
Feature #2 In message pic attachment preview in app
Feature #3 Attachment of non audio/video files allowed
Feature #4 Access to user account settings on server from within app

IMHO all 4 of these features should be available in one app. Is there a plan to bring the features of the old and new version into one app? Why wasn't this done when the June version was released ?(RocketChat+ Rated 3.6 is version 1.0.14 released 6/7/2017)
