I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.40 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Announces (boosts) can now be disabled/reenabled on a per-people basis (to limit those boost-trigger-happy friends from flooding your timeline). This is operated from the people page.

It's now possible to show an instance timeline instead of the classic greeting static page at the base URL. This can be enabled by setting the show_instance_timeline field to true in the server configuration file. Other metadata fields can be set to add information to this page; please see snac(8) (the Administrator manual page) for details.

Users can now upload an image (preferably in landscape mode) that will be shown as a banner in their public pages.

Added hints to web UI buttons.

Mastodon API: some minor fixes to allow the semaphore.social web client to work.

Fixed miscalculation of the votersCount field in multiple-choice polls.

DNS or TLS errors in outgoing connections are considered fatal errors and not retried.
