Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[1.137.0] - Not released

[1.136.0] - 2024-11-08

Changed

  • The advanced search form is refactored to support the new search operators.

Added

  • When user presses '/' or 'Ctrl+K' hotkeys, the search input form in the header is focused.
  • This form now has an "Advanced search options" button that redirects to the advanced search form.

Fixed

  • The post attachments now appear in the same order as they were added by user. Previously, attachments were sorted by the upload order.
  • User's avatars in the posts are now shown without a loading="lazy" attribute. If the avatar picture is not found, the default avatar is shown.

[1.135.3] - 2024-10-22

Fixed

  • Multiple fixes in style handling process:
    • Bootstrap 3 is now a regular dependency in package.json;

  • The last UNSAFE_* methods were removed from React components.

[1.135.1] - 2024-10-08

Fixed

  • iOS has strange behavior with service workers updates, so use the version file method instead.

[1.135.0] - 2024-10-08

Added

  • The PWA manifest and the service worker was added. The service worker caches all site assets, including web fonts. It also caches user profile pictures (up to 100 entries). The AppUpdated component periodically checks the service worker for update.

Changed

  • Enable player for video attachments. Add a playback time limit for it.

Fixed

  • The SmartTextarea component now handles the 'onPaste' event more precisely. When the clipboard contains the text and the image in the same time, both are pasted.

[1.134.4] - 2024-08-26

Changed

  • The 'Privacy' and 'Terms' pages now renders statically from the Markdown files and available on the /docs/privacy and /docs/terms paths. It makes them accessible for the checking robots, that cannot execute the JavaScript.

[1.134.3] - 2024-07-29

Added

  • The autocomplete menu now has a links to the found users/groups pages. These links opens in a new tab for the most cases. Links opens in the current tab when the user enters the "@username" in the search bar at the beginning of the query.

Changed

  • The 'Expandable' component was rewritten using the modern browser APIs. It now properly handles the content updates and does not require the content to be fully inline.

Fixed

  • Style issues for code blocks.

[1.134.1] - 2024-07-15

[1.133.0] - 2024-07-04

Added

  • Add a "description" meta-tag to the index.html.
  • Autocomplete for the user/group names in the post and comment inputs. When the user types "@" and some text afterwards, the matched users/groups are shown beneath the text input.

Changed

  • Switch to V3 server API (with omittedCommentsOffset field and two comments after the fold).

Fixed

  • Update SSI patterns in index.html to support dashes in groupnames.
  • Bug on iOS that blocks deletion of post's attachments.

[1.132.0] - 2024-05-27

Added

  • Ability to "unlock" and preview comments from the banned users and with reply to the banned users.

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug where the first partial opening of comments ("show last N") would open one extra comment.

[1.131.3] - 2024-05-08

Fixed

  • Separate local and remote file list changes in the file uploader (finish the fix in 1.131.1).

[1.131.2] - 2024-05-08

Fixed

  • Programmatic insertion into the comment text area is now debounced with a timeout of 100ms. It prevents races when multiple files are uploaded at the same time.

[1.131.1] - 2024-05-06

Fixed

  • Fixed a draft fileIds synchronization bug.

[1.131.0] - 2024-05-05

[1.130.0] - 2024-04-26

  • Support for symmetric bans: comments of users, who have banned the viewer, are hidden for the viewer.

[1.129.3] - 2024-04-12

Changed

  • Use blurred low-res preview of NSFW images instead of solid gray panels.

[1.129.2] - 2024-04-10

Fixed

  • Fix the comment form's "Cancel" button behavior in the feed.

[1.129.1] - 2024-04-10

Fixed

  • Don't show the "Clear" button on empty forms.

[1.129.0] - 2024-04-09

Added

  • Post and comment creation forms now have a "Clear" button that resets the form state.

Fixed

[1.128.2] - 2024-03-29

Added

  • Ability to read other people's minds.

[1.128.1] - 2024-03-18

Fixed

  • Youtube returns a 401 response for videos that are not allowed to be embedded. These videos used to cause an error, now they are displayed as previews.

[1.128.0] - 2024-03-01

Fixed

  • Fix lightbox for some old attachments that have no sizes in API responses.

Added

  • Drafts. When a user creates/edits a post or comment, the entered text is automatically saved to localStorage. This prevents accidental loss of content in case of a bad connection or browser closure. For posts, saved drafts also contain attachments and feed name information.

    Draft data automatically synchronized between the browser tabs, but not between the other user's devices.

    Drafts are deleted when a post/comment form has been successfully submitted or explicitly canceled by the user. When the user signs out, all draft data is deleted. Draft data also deletes when the signed in user changes.

    User can disable drafts saving on the Settings / Privacy page. In this case, drafts will still work, but will not be saved to persistent storage and will be lost on tab close/reload.

[1.127.3] - 2024-02-14

Fixed

  • Incorrect use of 'useEffect' causing a crash on the 'Manage Group Subscribers' page.

[1.127.2] - 2024-02-04

Fixed

  • Return the 'maximum-scale=1' back to the "viewport" meta tag, but remove it on non-iOS platforms. This allows to zoom in page on all platforms, but prevents the unwanted auto-zoom on iOS.

[1.127.1] - 2024-02-02

Changed

  • Upgrade React to v18
  • Users can now scale the site with a pinch gesture on mobile devices.
  • The lightbox code now detects image sizes faster when showing images from text links. User doesn't see a small 100x100 preview anymore.

[1.127.0] - 2024-01-19

Changed

  • Use the latest (v5) version of PhotoSwipe library.

[1.126.0] - 2023-12-21

[1.125.1] - 2023-11-24

Fixed

  • Missing post submission form on group pages.

[1.125.0] - 2023-11-24

Added

  • The site administrator can now define a list of "privacy control groups" in the config (the privacyControlGroups entry). These groups will be always shown in the feed selector of new or existing posts. The pages of such groups do not show posts by default, and such groups cannot be subscribed to.
  • Support for the new "Notify of new comments" feature:
    • User can now turn on/off notification for new comments on the specific post via the "More" menu item;
    • User can now turn on/off notification for new comments on their own posts;
    • The new "Comments" tab has been added to the "Notifications" page.

Changed

  • Upgrade 'social-text-tokenizer' (the post/comment texts parser) to the version 3.0.

Fixed

  • Reddit r/-links were displayed incorrectly.
  • During direct message editing, there is no access check of the existing recipients (even if some of them are gone). This check is unnecessary because the message author cannot remove the existing recipients anyway.

[1.123.3] - 2023-09-15

Fixed

  • The algorithm for displaying the "Expand" button in "compact" text mode has been fixed.

[1.123.2] - 2023-09-10

Fixed

  • Post actions didn't work on the post backlinks page.

[1.123.1] - 2023-09-07

Fixed

[1.123.0] - 2023-09-05

Added

    • All public URLs and links to posts and comments are now in short format.
    • Addresses of posts and comments with leading slash (/user/...) are now parses in texts as active links.
    • Old-fashion links, with long UIDs, are still fully supported.
  • New page(s) /:userName/:postId/backlinks that displays posts that link to this post. This replaces the old way of displaying backlinks, which used search.

Changed

  • Spoiler tag can now contain line feeds. In addition, user text formatting utilizes simpler HTML, with fewer wrappers. Visually, the output for the user is not changed (except for line translations in spoilers).
  • Text checkboxes are not processed in a special way if there is more than one of them in the text.

Fixed

  • The default font set no longer includes the Helvetica family when the client platform is Windows. Helvetica is not a native font in Windows, and the manually installed version of the font may be incomplete (for example, not contain Cyrillic).
  • Updated TWEET_RE regex to support matching x.com in addition to twitter.com.

[1.122.1] - 2023-08-10

Changed

  • Disable player for video attachments until we can deal with the increased traffic from them.

[1.122.0] - 2023-07-31

Added

  • Comments can now be used as checklists if the comment text starts with "[ ]" or "[x]" (one can use other symbols in parentheses as well: [v], [*], [🗸], or Russian "Ha").

    If the current user matches the author of the comment, an interactive checkbox is displayed at the beginning of the text. When the user clicks the checkbox, the comment text changes to reflect the checkbox state.

    For other users, a fixed-width text representation of the checkbox is shown: "[ ]" or "[🗸]".

Fixed

  • Telegram previews now supports dark theme

[1.121.1] - 2023-07-15

Fixed

[1.121] - 2023-07-15

  • Increased margin under the "Expand preview" button

[1.120.2] - 2023-06-22

  • Startup styles are applied only to the initial state of the page and do not interfere with application styles.

[1.120] - 2023-06-14

Changed

  • The start script that initiates the configuration and sets the color scheme is now injected into the HTML code. The custom configuration is also injected using SSI, if possible. This allows instant access to the configuration, without an additional HTTP request, and allows the correct color scheme to be applied before the document body starts rendering. This, in turn, gets rid of the blinking when the page loads.

Fixed

  • Initial layout styles, to prevent jerking while loading
  • Added support for legacy browsers, that doesn't support modern ES features

    • 'lodash' replaced with 'lodash-es' for better tree shaking
    • Rare used pages, components and libraries now loaded asynchronously
  • Multiple cosmetic corrections preparing the transition to Vite as a builder:
    • Use Dart Sass instead of node-sass
    • Use math.div instead of "/" in SCSS files
    • Rename files uses JSX syntax from .js to .jsx
    • Remove non-standard do {} syntax
    • Use explicit import() statements in the index.jsx
    • Use relative css imports for styles from node_modules
    • Update stylelint calls and fix styles issues
  • The users and groups pages now shows dynamically calculated statistics.
  • All "a" links without the "href" attribute and some other pseudo-buttons have been replaced by the ButtonLink component. This improves the keyboard accessibility of the site because ButtonLink is able to focus and click from the keyboard.

Fixed

  • The backlink click now doesn't reload a full page.

Changed

  • Take Save out of "more" menu

  • The Dropzone library has been replaced with a custom file uploader. Attachments for posts and comments are now uploaded uniformly. The CreatePost and PostEditForm components have been redesigned to utilize the new uploader.

  • The internal SubmittableTextarea component replaced by new SmartTextarea. The SmartTextarea allows to:

    • submit text by Enter of Ctrl/Cmd+Enter;
    • handle files paste and drag-n-drop;
    • insert text to the cursor position using 'insertText' instance method;
    • use 'onText' attribute to handle updated text (it is necessary for 'insertText' updates, which doesn't trigger onChange).

  • "More" menu to posts

    • In Desktop mode, the Enter press acts as submit, to insert a new line user should press Shift+Enter or Alt+Enter.
