@_jayrope basically you can put additional site specific bash scripts for maintenance into that file. This is for specific usecases only. If you did not need anything extra after updating so far, you will not need this.
Article contains a couple of minor inaccuracies: _misskey_quote doesn't build on FEP-e232, and the other property name is quoteUrl, not quoteURL. But overall it's good and I hope other implementers will notice it.
@silverpill i have received your like and it was relayed from here to my other contacts. The fact that other hubs may reject them with 409 is because they are supposed to receive the like relayed from my channel in case they are accepted here.
Release banner for Hubzilla 9.0 Hubzilla 9.0 is here and delivers many improvements under the hood and at the UI level. Two of the most asked features have been implemented: repeats a.k.a. boosts and adjustable theme colors at the channel and site level. Hubmins can also customize other components via the bootstrap sass variables.
Under the hood we implemented a short term object cash which will improve performance when fetching objects. The internal use of ActivityStreams1 has been deprecated in favor of ActivityStreams2. Object integrity proofs (EddsaSignatures) according to fep-8b32 have been implemented. Interesting for developers: CI and the test environment have been vastly improved.
Other notable changes are: refactored browser to browser encryption using the modern sodium crypto library and support for custom emojis with configurable emoji sets.
For a complete list of changes in Hubzilla 9.0 please refer to the changelog.
A big THANK YOU! to all contributors and everybody who supports Hubzilla and its development.

I have just pushed a hotfix for the Article/Note issue to master. Have not created a release yet but you can fetch the update by running util/udall once again...
Basically i have reverted the change and we will be sending Note activity types again until a better solution is found.
