I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.41 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:
Added support for Article ActivityPub objects to correctly process reviews from #Bookwyrm instances and other similar software.
Show Link objects that are image, audio or video media as if they were attachments.
Added more aggressive caching to timelines and history files.
The history at the end of the public page is listed in reverse chronological order.
Mastodon API: minor fixes.
Be more strict when serving note objects.
Additional HTTP response headers can be defined by adding an http_headers object with header/content pairs into the server.json configuration file.
If you hover the mouse pointer over a vote option in a pool, the current count (as per the last update) is shown. This may be considered cheating in some cases, so try to be honest (or not).
The nodeinfo URL now returns more accurate information.
I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.40 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:
Announces (boosts) can now be disabled/reenabled on a per-people basis (to limit those boost-trigger-happy friends from flooding your timeline). This is operated from the people page.
It's now possible to show an instance timeline instead of the classic greeting static page at the base URL. This can be enabled by setting the show_instance_timeline field to true in the server configuration file. Other metadata fields can be set to add information to this page; please see snac(8) (the Administrator manual page) for details.
Users can now upload an image (preferably in landscape mode) that will be shown as a banner in their public pages.
Added hints to web UI buttons.
Mastodon API: some minor fixes to allow the semaphore.social web client to work.
Fixed miscalculation of the votersCount field in multiple-choice polls.
DNS or TLS errors in outgoing connections are considered fatal errors and not retried.
