📣 Release: yarn v0.15 - Phosphorus Phoenix
Hello Yarners! 🤗
It's again been a long while since our Last Release yarnd v0.14 over ~6 months ago! 😳 Sorry about that! 🙏 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! 🙏
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 🥳 (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.
