## v2023.12-pre4
This release preview primarily fixes bugs & regressions. Note: If you are upgrading from `-pre3` and had the HTML cache prewarm functionality enabled, you might want to clear it (`DELETE FROM "html_note_cache_entry";`), as quote URLs were not stored correctly due to an oversight.

### Mastodon client API
- The html cache prewarm functionality now correctly includes quote URLs
- Follow status indicators now work properly in apps that rely on an undocumented Mastodon API behavior (e.g. toot!)

### Backend

## v2023.11
### Release notes
This release contains only very minor changes if you're upgrading from `v2023.11-pre5`, but for users who skipped the prereleases, lots has changed. Be sure to read the changelogs of all releases between the one you're upgrading from and this one, especially the sections on breaking changes.

The information below is an *aggregate* of all breaking changes and release highlights since the last stable release.

### Breaking changes
- Lists have been reworked, now only allowing followed users to be added, and support for proxy accounts has been removed. To allow users to follow any users they want to keep on their lists, the migration that removes all list members users are not following will only be activated in the release **after** the next stable release. It is therefore highly recommended to add an instance announcement informing your users of this change and advising them to follow any affected accounts and to use the new "hide from home timeline" list option if desired.
- The Mastodon client API now uses the same object identifiers as the Misskey API, as well as its own, separate OAuth backend. This means all existing sessions are now invalid. Please log out and back in again in your clients.

### Highlights
- The Mastodon client API backend underwent a full rewrite, dropping megalodon as a dependency. Expect:
    + Rich text formatting (mentions, links, hashtags, etc. are now properly formatted)
    + Significantly improved API responsiveness - performance was improved by a factor of 2-5x (or more!) depending on the endpoint
    + Better spec compliance & improved compatibility (we test against: Mona, toot!, Ice Cubes, Tusker, Feditext, Mastodon for iOS, Mastodon for Android/Megalodon/Moshidon, Tusky, Elk, Phanpy, Pinafore/Semaphore/Enafore and more)
- The Mastodon client API now supports the websocket streaming API
- Various bugs in the HTTP Link header pagination implementation were fixed
- The Mastodon client API now uses OAuth instead of MiAuth
- ActivityPub object lookups now respect redirects
- Significantly improved handling of mentions, both in outgoing AP messages and in the Mastodon client API
- Various Mastodon client API regressions are now fixed, improving client compatibility
- HTTP Signature validation error handling has been improved
- The project is now compatible with NodeJS >= 18.6 (tested against v21.1.0 at time of writing)

### Miscellaneous
- The project is now compatible with NodeJS v21, tested against v21.1.0 at time of writing
- The nix dev environment was updated

### Attribution
This release was made possible by project contributors: Laura Hausmann

## v2023.11-pre4
### Release notes
This release mostly fixes regressions introduced in the last release preview. If you are running `v2023.11-pre3`, upgrading is strongly recommended.

- Remote users are now automatically refreshed in background

## v2023.11-pre3
### Breaking changes
- Lists have been reworked, now only allowing followed users to be added, and support for proxy accounts has been removed. To allow users to follow any users they want to keep on their lists, the migration that removes all list members users are not following will only be activated in the release **after** the next stable release. It is therefore highly recommended to add an instance announcement informing your users of this change and advising them to follow any affected accounts and to use the new "hide from home timeline" list option if desired.

### Highlights

- Mentions in user profiles are now resolved and stored in the database
- Invalid mentions in outgoing AP messages are now sent as plain text instead of an unreachable link pointing back at the origin instance

- Various translation updates

### Attribution
This release was made possible by project contributors: AntoineÐ, Aylam, Erin Shepherd & Laura Hausmann

## v2023.11-pre2
### Highlights
- An oversight in the OAuth helper that was preventing login to work in some Mastodon clients was fixed.

## v2023.11-pre1
### New versioning scheme
From now on we will use a JetBrains-like versioning scheme. Since our release candidates are more of a release preview, they can now be identified by the `-pre` suffix, followed by a number that increments with each following release preview. To maintain lexical sort order with previous releases from this year, we're starting the release counter at 11. That makes this release `v2023.11-pre1`.

### Breaking changes
- The Mastodon client API now uses its own, separate OAuth backend. This means all existing sessions are now invalid. Please log out and back in again in your clients.

### Highlights
- The Mastodon client API now uses OAuth instead of MiAuth

## v2023.10.11-rc1
### Highlights
- The Mastodon client API now supports the websocket streaming API
- Various bugs in the HTTP Link header pagination implementation were fixed

### Attribution
This release was made possible by project contributors: Laura Hausmann

## v2023.10.08-rc1
### Breaking changes
- The Mastodon client API now uses the standard alphanumeric ID format. This breaks pagination with existing Mastodon client sessions, if they cache user and/or post data. It is therefore strongly recommended that you either clear the client's cache (if it exposes such a button), its data (if your OS supports this), log out and in again, or in the worst case reinstall any clients with active sessions, especially if you notice strange timeline behavior or unexplained "Record not found" errors.

### Highlights
- The Mastodon client API backend underwent a full rewrite, dropping megalodon as a dependency. Expect:
    + Rich text formatting (mentions, links, hashtags, etc. are now properly formatted)
    + Significantly improved API responsiveness - performance was improved by a factor of 2-5x (or more!) depending on the endpoint
    + Better spec compliance & improved compatibility (we test against: Mona, toot!, Ice Cubes, Tusker, Feditext, Mastodon for iOS, Mastodon for Android/Megalodon/Moshidon, Tusky, Elk, Phanpy, Pinafore/Semaphore/Enafore and more)

### Bug Fixes
- The update checker now works properly with the new versioning scheme
- The control panel indicator is now displayed correctly
- Countless Mastodon client API bugs have been resolved

### Backend
- Note edits (of local users) have been completely reworked, now storing the correct history and no longer accepting nonsensical parameters (like changing the reply target) that don't federate properly if at all

- The default themes now have proper shadows
- Post headers no longer have text shadow
