#ActivityPub #mastodev

I feel sorry and a bit unprofessional about announcing the quick release of version 2.55 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the fix to a careless change by me:

Mastodon API: fixed a last-minute bug that broke some API functions.

I apologize for any inconvenience. This week has not been very good for me, but that is no excuse.

Я активный участник сети Mastodon 🐘 с конца 2021 года и хочу поделиться своим опытом. Почему я выбрал эту сеть и чем она отличается от Twitter? 🤔

Проблемы Twitter и Поиск Альтернатив 🚫🐦

Twitter, или X, в последнее время переживает тяжелые времена. Что же пошло не так? 🤷‍♂️ На мой взгляд, основные проблемы заключаются в неадекватной администрации 🚨, многочисленных ограничениях для пользователей 🚫, постоянном сборе информации 🕵️‍♂️ и высоком уровне токсичности пользователей 😡. Эти факторы вынудили многих из нас искать альтернативы, которые могли бы предоставить более здоровую и приватную среду для общения 🌱.

Что Такое Mastodon? 🐘💬

И вот тут на сцену выходит Mastodon. 🎬 В 2024 году Mastodon представляет собой огромное сообщество пользователей 👥, распределенных по множеству серверов 🌍, как крупных, так и небольших. В чем же секрет успеха этой платформы? 🤔

Hi, #snac users; it seems that I introduced a last-minute bug in version 2.54 that breaks some Mastodon API functions because I'm a moron 🤦

I'll release a new version ASAP fixing this specific bug.

I'm super embarrased. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.54 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. This release includes very valuable work by fellow developer louis77, as well as other bugfixes and improvements:

Markdown-style links are now supported.

The alt text in attachments that have one is also shown in a dropdown just below it (useful for environments where mouseover is not available, i.e. for phones and tablets).

Instance-wide notifications has been implemented (contributed by louis77). A small tweak to the default CSS was made to suit this change; please consider updating your style.css (see doc/style.css as an example).

The avatar and/or the header images can now be deleted (contributed by louis77).

Code cleaning: HTTP status codes use names instead of hardcoded integers (contributed by louis77).

Mastodon API: fixed login problems with the official Mastodon API, IceCube and Toot! on iOS, some fixes for Mona and Tokodon apps, user credentials can now be edited from apps (all contributed by louis77), fixed crash on unset content-type header.

The webfinger content-type response header is now RFC-compliant (contributed by steve-bate).

Improved support for the HTTP OPTIONS method, allowing sites like https://mastodonlistmanager.org to work.

Fixed non-working content warnings in the public instance timeline.
