*Released: 2023/06/24*
|
|
|
|
This release is a large overhaul of Takahē that removes all timeline UI elements
|
|
in the web interface in favour of apps, while reworking the remaining pages
|
|
to be a pleasant profile viewing, post viewing, and settings experience.
|
|
|
|
We've also started on our path of making individual domains much more
|
|
customisable; you can now theme them individually, the Local timeline is now
|
|
domain-specific, and domains can be set to serve single user profiles.
|
|
|
|
This release's major changes:
|
|
|
|
* The Home, Notifications, Local and Federated timelines have been removed
|
|
from the web UI. They still function for apps.
|
|
|
|
* The ability to like, boost, bookmark and reply to posts has been removed from
|
|
the web UI. They still function for apps.
|
|
|
|
* The web Compose tool has been considerably simplified and relegated to a new
|
|
"tools" section; most users should now use an app for composing posts.
|
|
|
|
* The Follows page is now in settings and is view-only.
|
|
|
|
* Identity profiles and individual post pages are now considerably simplified
|
|
and have no sidebar.
|
|
|
|
* A Search feature is now available for posts from a single identity on its
|
|
profile page; users can turn this on or off in their identity's profile
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
* Domains can now have their own site name, site icon, and custom CSS
|
|
|
|
* Domains can be set to a "single user mode" where they redirect to a user
|
|
profile, rather than showing their own homepage.
|
|
|
|
* Added an Authorized Apps identity settings screen, that allows seeing what apps you've
|
|
authorized, revocation of app access, and generating your own personal API
|
|
tokens.
|
|
|
|
* Added a Delete Profile settings screen that allows self-serve identity deletion.
|
|
|
|
* The logged-in homepage now shows a list of identities to select from as well
|
|
as a set of recommended apps to use for timeline interfaces.
|
|
|
|
* We have totally dropped our alpha-quality SQLite support; it just doesn't have
|
|
sufficient full-text-search and JSON operator support, unfortunately.
|
|
|
|
There are many minor changes to support the new direction; important ones include:
|
|
|
|
* The dark/light mode toggle is now a User (login) setting, not an Identity setting
|
|
|
|
* Identity selection is no longer part of a session - now, multiple identity
|
|
settings pages can be opened at once.
|
|
|
|
* The ability for users to add their own custom CSS has been removed, as it
|
|
was potentially confusing with our upcoming profile customization work (it
|
|
only ever applied to your own session, and with timelines gone, it no longer
|
|
makes much sense!)
|
|
|
|
* API pagination has been further improved, specifically for Elk compatibility
|
|
|
|
* Server admins can now add a "Report a Problem" footer link with either
|
|
hosted content or an external link.
|
|
|
|
This is a large change in direction, and we hope that it will match the way
|
|
that people use Takahē and its multi-domain support far better. For more
|
|
discussion and rationale on the change, see `Andrew's blog post about it <https://aeracode.org/2023/04/29/refactor-treat/>`_.
|
|
|
|
Our future plans include stability and polish in order to get us to a 1.0 release,
|
|
as well as allowing users to customize their profiles more, account import
|
|
support, and protocol enhancements like automatic fetching of replies for
|
|
non-local posts. If you're curious about what we're up to, or have an idea,
|
|
we're very happy to chat about it in our Discord!

Upgrade Notes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Despite the large refactor to the UI, Takahē's internals are not significantly
|
|
changed, and this upgrade is operationally like any other minor release.
|
|
|
|
Migrations
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
There are new database migrations; they are backwards-compatible, so please
|
|
apply them before restarting your webservers and stator processes.
|
|
|
|
One of the migrations involves adding a large search index for opt-in post
|
|
searching, and may take some time to
|
|
process (on the order of minutes) if you have a large database.
|
|
|
|
You may wish to bring your site down into
|
|
a maintenance mode before applying it to reduce the chance of lock conflicts
|
|
slowing things down, or causing request timeouts.
