Announce: Streams version 2023-04-29 release
"The best fediverse server you've never heard of".

https://codeberg.org/streams/streams

Upgrade instructions: Visit your admin page and click 'Update'.


Some of the things I've been working on this cycle:

• Fediverse Identity Manager (in progress, ~70% complete).
• Remove unused Group Notification preference setting. These notifications are already present in your stream notifications.
• Fixed post/comment backfilling so new connections arrive with some posts and context.
• Bug: Manually deleted posts now stay deleted and don't come back. Automatically expired posts will come back if they are later updated.
• Redirect successful remotely authenticated visitors to the Apps page instead of returning to the login page.
• Fixed a couple of postgres specific issues which surfaced now that more people are using that database engine.
• Issues with automatically hyperlinking "naked URLs" in text after recent re-organisation of multicode priority.
• Fixed a few obscure multicode conflicts due to markdown getting processed before HTML and bbcode.
• Fixed display issue of oembed  links over ActivityPub (does not affect Nomad).
• Fixed exception which occurred if the (optional) imageMagick package wasn't installed. This should degrade gracefully.
• Worked through a few issues which prevented connecting with topics on lemmy. This is ongoing as that project has unique interpretations of some of the official specifications.
• Activity id element was misconfigured for Events, which made these difficult to search.
• Added DNS (sub-domain) discovery for actors per FEP-612d
• Fix rounding errors which allowed some poll results to add up to slightly more than 100%
• Re-factored video imports from personal cloud storage so the video will not be embedded twice.
• Fixed an obscure issue where people with a comma in their display name had messed up notifications.
• Site search now returns a page with 'permission denied' rather than a white screen if you lack permission to search this site.
• Fixed regression introduced in last release where some HTTP signatures would fail if the keyId contained query parameters
