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.

PlasticParagraph,

@danie10 hi there (from a fellow South African)

Why would one use Hubzilla? It’s mentioned a lot, but not sure why it’s different to Friendica / Mastodon /etc? New-ish to the Fediverse and interested in the nomadic identity you mentioned.

Assume you can connect over the fediverse from a single point? Again, new to this world, and read about it at: https://wedistribute.org/2024/03/activitypub-nomadic-identity/

PlasticParagraph,

@danie10 Thanks for the explanation, asking because having tested Pixelfed, Mastodon, Firefish, Lemmy, etc. It seems like they don't all allow to operate, follow or interact as one would imagine based on how they make it sound in articles or on some of the sites. So looking for something that might be:
a) one place to host your id (nomad?)
b) can interact across the Fediverse without needing a bunch of accounts, like non-fedi/other social sites

PlasticParagraph,

@danie10 Thanks a mill, will go have a look at the video! Yes the type of site isn't the issue, it's more about being able to interact with the other Fedi sites without needing all the other accounts. And the nomadic ID sounds like something that's been in the mind for a while. Keen to check it out now, thanks again! 😄
