Hooray! A new feature release! It's almost all bugfixes and very minor features so it's getting a patch release.

New features

  • Polish translation of Hometown specific text, thanks to @mkljczk!
  • "About" pages now show in limited federation mode. The reasoning here is that while you certainly want to hide your discoverability features from external servers, you do want your Code of Conduct etc to be viewable by everyone. Thanks @exstral!
  • The "Compose" field is no longer auto-focused. Auto-focusing this as Mastodon does assumes that you are going to make a post when you load the page. This often isn't true, and it means that keyboard shortcut users have to tab out before beginning to navigate. Thanks @raboof for the PR and thanks @rkingett for the accessibility check re: screen readers.

Fixes

  • remove extra fields from Gemfile.lock. This was causing bundler errors on upgrade for some people. Thanks @mistydemeo!
  • Tweaks to the Macaron theme
  • Exclusive lists no longer reset to normal lists when you rename them. Thanks @ljcooke!
  • The :local_only: emoji now works in CW text. Thanks @killpack!
  • Remove some stray Mastodon branding, thanks @exstral!
