πŸ”₯ **ATTENTION:** I have really bad news folks 😒

Today, (_just this morning in AEST_) I accidentally nuke my pod (twtxt.net). I keep backups, but unfortunately the recovery point objective (RTP) is at worst a month! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ 😱 (_the recovery time objective is around ~30m or so, restoring can take a while due to the size of the archive and index_) -- For those that are unfamiliar with these terms, they essentially relate to "how much data loss can occur" (RPO) and "how quickly you can restore the system" (RTO).

This pod (twtxt.net) is back up and online. However we've last the last ~5 days worth of posts y'all _may_ have made on your feeds (_for those that use this pod_).

I'm so sorry 😞

πŸ“£ **Release:** yarn v0.15 - Phosphorus Phoenix

Hello Yarners! πŸ€—

It's again been a long while since our Last Release yarnd v0.14 over ~6 months ago! 😳 Sorry about that! πŸ™ I guess we got a bit busy with a few other things going on...

First of all a big thanks to everybody who has given all of their time and effort to help Yarn.social become a better platform every day.

A _special_ thanks to our new contributors @tkanos and @eaplmx who recently started contributing to the project! Thank you! πŸ™

Without further ado, here are the highlights for the 0.15 release!

## Highlights

- **Twtxt Search Engine** -- The much improved Twtxt Search Engine
- **NEW** Sync API πŸ₯³ (see below)
- Add Block Quote button to the Postbox.
- Add official "Feed Types" (see below)

Its a bit of a small(ish) release with no that many "big" new features (sorry!) mostly just bug fixes and little improvements. So if you're curious please see the full Change Log below.

### Twtxt Search Engine

The **much improved** Twtxt Search Engine is out which improves the index greatly, performance and overall functionality and UX.

Help pages have been improved and overall searches are "just better".

Check it out!

### Sync API

For a long time we've talked about the possibility of "syncing" a local feed with your feed on a Yarn.social pod. This is now possible with a 3-way Sync API /api/v1/sync and a sub command of the yarnc command-line client. Usage is as simple as:

e
$ yarnc sync twtxt.txt


See yarnc sync --help and the [Sync API (https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/api.html#sync) API endpoint documentation for more details.

### Feed Types

In order to better improve the code and manageability of different feed types such as automated feeds (bots) and RSS / Atom feeds, we have defined a set of Feed Types namely:

- rss -- A Twtxt feed whose primary source comes from an RSS / Atom feed.
- bot -- A Twtxt feed which is fully automated by some script or automation.

These are the **only** feed types currently and we do not expect any more really. The way this works is ti simply add # type = rss|bot to your feed if the feed you are publishing is a non-human/non-user feed. Omitting the type Metadata is completely fine and optional. The default for all feeds is a User / Human feed.

This helps us categorize and filter out noise feeds, automated feeds from views like the "Discover" view on Yarn.social pods and serve as a way to "filter" for these types of feed in the Twtxt Search Engine.

* Replies to users or feeds who have been muted will display a 'muted' message.
* Realtime feed fetching using WebSub.
* Added additional metrics and debugging API for WebSub.
* IndieAuth endpoint support.

WebSub

- moving_average_feed_refresh
- websub

I would encourage anyone that normally runs yarnd from the main branch or the prologic/yarnd:latest Docker Image to give this a try and report any issues you come across!

You can enable this feature websub or both websub and moving_average_feed_refresh
in your Manage Pod UI and entering the features there one per line and

πŸ“£ **NEW:** Releases - yarn - v0.13.0 - Aluminium Amarok

Hello Yarners! πŸ€—

What a month (_and a bit_) it has been! πŸ˜… During this time we've closed out
78 Pull Requests, 55 Issues from the hard work of 8 contributors over 174 commits!

This release yarnd v0.13 is **special** because this will be the last release
for a while. The project will be entering a "feature freeze" whilst the developers
and active contributors slow down a bit and work on some other much-needed components.

We will be working on improving documentation, deployment guides, builtin pages
and other supporting services and components in the ecosystem. In addition a
decision has been made to relicense all software components under a new license
(AGPLv3) going forward. We hope this will not affect contributions in any way but
will also serve to protect what we've all worked so hard to build.

But don't worry! We will still be committing to main, we just won't be adding
and new significant new features for a while.

Without further ado, here are the following changes for our 0.12 release!

## Highlights

First the important noteworthy bug-fixes: 🐞

- Fixed various rendering issues with blockquote(s) and code snippets.
- Fixed image alt and title rendering
- Fixed various Cache consistency bugs
- Fixed privacy issue in "Mentions" view
- Fixed support for WebMentions and cross-pod mentions
- Fixed weird behaviour when accidentally posting an empty Twt

And finally the new shiny new features! πŸ₯³

- Pod Owner/Operators (_Poderators_) can now edit Pod pages in data/pages/<name>.md and changes are reflected live!
- Users that reply to someone they don't follow now correctly -mention them.
- Users can now -mention cross-pod as well as any Twtxt-supported feed using the now well supported syntax @nick
- Added first-class support for GIF(s) πŸ¦‹ Finally! πŸ˜…
- Added support for fetching feeds over gemini://
- Added support for Twitter Summary Card
- Added support for pressing Escape to cancel a Reply
- Added support for configuring Twts Per Page in Manage Pod

πŸ“£ **NEW:** Releases - yarn - v0.11.0

Hello Yarners! πŸ€—

Happy New Year! #2021 #NewYearsEve πŸ₯³

For those of you that live on _this_ side of the planet, Welcome to #2022 πŸ₯³

----

This year in Yarn we have a brand new version of yarnd
for you all with exciting new features! πŸ₯³ Some of you have already been using them! πŸ˜…

Highlights:

- **NEW** Peers _try_ to validate the authenticity of injected Twts between peers.This has _finally_ #resolved the issue with my Avatar that kept reverting back and forth πŸ˜‚
- **NEW** New refresh Metadata field added to the Metadata ext allowing feed authors to _manually_ hint to clients as to how often their feeds should be fetched.
- **NEW** Moving Average Feed Refresh (_currently in experimental_) feature (Enable with moving_average_feed_refresh) that automatically backs off fetching/refreshing feeds based on an exponential moving average of feed's update frequency. This helps to reduce traffic to pods and external feeds but keep the network convergent within 60s to 10m (_on-pod are always instantaneous_) πŸš€
- **NEW** Improvements to the yarnc timeline command to support -r/--reverse and -n/--twts πŸ§‘β€πŸ’»
- **NEW** Support for pruning old dead accounts a multi-user pod _might_ accumulate. This sends an email to the Pod Owner on a weekly basis and uses a heuristic score ranges from 1000 (_every user_) to 2993 (_users who have never posted, never updated any part of their profile_). A Poderator (_Pod Owner/Operator_) is sent a weekly candidates of up to 10 users with a score > 1200 for consideration. πŸ‘»
- **NEW** Active Users. Pods now measure two key metrics a Poderator can track, Daily Active Users (DAU) and Monthly Active Users (MAU). These are only accurate to a day. πŸ“ˆ
- **NEW** New followers tracking that is now _actually_ accurate and is pruned once-per-week. So now your "Followers" count, even across pods **will** be accurate and up-to-date πŸ₯³
- **FIXED** Finally squished that annoying bug 🐞 causing profile data to flip-flop
- **FIXED** The LookupHandler() was fixed to support auto/tab-completion for external feeds! πŸ₯³
- **UPDATE** Update Chinese and Taiwanese translations! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡Ό

Big thanks to @gbmor for driving the need for some much needed network optimizations!
Thanks again to @ullarah for the many UI/UX updates and improvements! πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ

πŸ“£ **NEW:** Hey all πŸ‘‹ Just wanted to announce the new "Cache Convergence" feature.

If you regularly run yarnd on master; please git pull, rebuild and enable the feature converge.

This will fill in missing twts found during a feed cache cycle by asking peering pods for the missing twt.

Testing so far has found the experimental feature converge to be working quite well πŸ‘Œ

πŸ“£ **NEW:** Releases - yarn - v0.9.0

Apologies for the long waited release of the 0.9.x series πŸ˜… This is a release that mostly refactors a lot of the default theme's UI/UX. In particular the nightlights are:

- Updated icon-set to use the lovely Tabler Icons 😍
- Update Profile views to be _actually_ clean and sane! πŸ‘Œ
- And lots of other small UI/UX improvements thanks to @fastidious @Ullarah and @darch πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ

The only other notable changes are Work-in-Progress items that will eventually lead us to a fully distributed and cross-pod Yarns without missing context or participants (_based on your interactions with others!_).

Releases - yarn - v0.7.0

> This is _probably_ one of the biggest releases of yarnd in a while, there were a lot of bug fixes, improvements as well as a tonne of new features. πŸ₯³

Highlights:

- Custom pages
The About, Privacy and Abuse pages can now be customised by Pod Owner/Operators.
To do so simply copy the builtin ones cp -a internal/pages /path/to/data or
just start creating matching pages in /path/to/data/pages.
Note that unfortunately at this time customising pages requires a restart of
the backend yarnd as page content is cached.
- Login via Email
Users can now login with their email address in addition to their username
and password (_if set_). This feature can be enabled by Pod Owners/Operators
with the magic_link_auth feature flag.
- Improved UX for Follow/Unfollow and Mute/Unmute buttons with graceful JS fallback!
- Pod-level Timezone, Time format and Open links in preferences.
- New /custom support for themes to serve arbitrary static assets
This new route allows Pod Owner/Operators to serve up arbitrary static assets
with any directory structure that cannot be easily served up by the existing
/css/:commit, /img/:commit and /js/:commit routes. Custom static assets
should be placed in a directory called custom under /path/to/theme.

As per usual, enjoy and happy Yarns πŸ€—

Please provide all feedback to @prologic or reply to this Yarn.

πŸ“£ **NEW:** twtxt Developer Documentation : Archive Feeds Extension

Announcing the "Archive Feeds Extension". Many thanks to @movq and @lyse for helping put this together πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ This small little extension allows feed authors to "rotate" their feeds (_something that yarnd already does on a weekly basis_) so that we can continue to scale and grow years from now. Fun fact, my own feed @prologic hit ~2.1M over the weekend and the default -F/--max-fetch-limit for yarnd is ~2MB so my feed stopped working πŸ˜…
