0.5 === *Released: 2022/12/04* This release brings Takahē to an almost full implementation of the underlying ActivityPub protocol, with only custom emoji and manual follower approval as high-level features we are yet to implement. Our goal now is to reach an initial "island of stability", where we ensure good test coverage and compatibility testing with a suite of other ActivityPub servers before we continue down adding main features (though there's still plenty of smaller features we'll add). This release includes: * Image uploading for posts, with image descriptions * Hashtag parsing, search and timeline pages * RSS feeds for users' public posts * Collapsing of related notifications into one * Automatic refetching and cleaning for Identities (profiles) and internal message buffers * Mastodon now understands Takahē profile and post URLs in its search box * Fixes to search, activitypub parsing, upload naming, email and media settings We're also aiming at two other big things for our next release apart from "stability": * Moderation queues and flagging * Initial Client App API (Mastodon-compatible) The goal will be for our next release to be the first one we can *recommend that* *a small community can be run on*. This is a relatively high bar for us, and while we will still have a lot of work to do afterwards (especially around accessibility and internationalisation), it's a milestone we're excited to reach. You can download images from `Docker Hub `_, or use the image name ``jointakahe/takahe:0.5``. Upgrade Notes ------------- Migrations ~~~~~~~~~~ There are new database migrations - they are backwards-compatible, so apply the migrations *before* you update your webserver and stator deployments.
