The latest release of Ktistec addresses the shortcomings of the previous release that became apparent after using quote posts in production for a few days. So far, there have been no major bugs, but there was room for improvement.Here's the full changelog.AddedFederation documentation (FEDERATION.md).Visibility (private or direct) icon in object summary.Object social activity details include dislikes."quotes-me" theming class for objects.Notification for quote posts.MCP integration for quote posts.ChangedRenamed NodeInfo siteName to more standard nodeName.Increased hard-coded limits for actor attachments and pinned collections.FixedDisplaying quoted posts in draft view.Visual indication of nested quotes in object view.I added a FEDERATION.md document to the project. This is documentation required by FEP-67ff on "information necessary for achieving interoperability with a federated service". The document describes, at a high level, what federation protocols and standards Ktistec currently supports.#ktistec #crystallang #activitypub #fediverse

Release v3.3.0 of Ktistec adds support for consent-respecting quote posts (FEP-044f). Quote posts represent the most lines of code I've written for any single changelog entry in my life.AddedSupport for consent-respecting quote posts (FEP-044f).Changednext_attempt_at in tasks now means not scheduled when nil.Permit type changes for ActivityPub objects.Important: Quote posts come with a few big caveats. I've been using iterations of this in production for weeks, but if you don't like what you read below you might want to wait for the patch release.FEP-044f quote posts require delicate choreography between quoted and quoting servers. Server support across the fediverse is incomplete and evolving. If a quote post doesn't display it might be my bug, it might be their bug. Expect bugs.Quote authorization is currently all or nothing—you either blanket reject quote post requests (the default) or blanket accept them. I intend to support more granular controls and manual approval but that comes later.Quote authorization revocation isn't supported.Automatic re-verification of quote authorization isn't supported.Compatibility with other quote implementations is incomplete.There will be bugs and more bugs .#ktistec #crystallang #activitypub #fediverse

The two big features in release v3.2.7 of Ktistec are back end support for creating polls (the front end is coming in the next release) and advanced theming support—specifically, a rich vocabulary of CSS class values and data attributes on which to build a theme. The full set is documented in the README. I'll post more on how I'm using these later this week.Here is the full set of notable changes:AddedBack-end support for creating polls.Advanced theming support with new classes, data attributes, and view helpers.Task status display on admin page showing running and imminently scheduled task counts.FixedPoll vote form now correctly submits Question ID.ChangedMove location of Ktistec version notice. (fixes #133)Updated admin page for better accessibility and less clutter.#ktistec #crystallang #activitypub #fediverse
