Release v3.1.3 of Ktistec

General Discussion
1 1 0
  • There are two big features in release v3.1.3 of Ktistec: auto-approve followers and a new image viewer.

    Auto-approve followers is conceptually simple ("the server automatically sends an Accept activity when it receives a Follow activity") but it required extensive changes to some of the oldest code in the codebase: the inboxes and outboxes controllers. I refactored inbox and outbox side-effect processing into independent services, which made it possible to support side-effects like auto-approve follow (and also auto-follow back), without having to go through the controllers.

    A more significant change for me personally was replacing the lightGallery image gallery (an external dependency) with my own implementation. It's not as slick, and not as full of features—I wrote it in two days—but it is fully free software, and that's important to me.

    Added

    • Add admin page for managing OAuth access tokens.
    • Add support for auto-approve followers. (fixes #26)
    • Add support for auto-follow back.

    Fixed

    • Prevent triggering actor refresh when user is anonymous.

    Changed

    • Replace "lightgallery" dependency with custom image viewer.
    • Set OAuth access token expiry to 30 days (previously expired after 24 hours).
    • Refactor inbox and outbox processing into dedicated processor services.

    The OAuth changes set the groundwork for better support of the Mastodon API and the Fediverse clients that depend on it. Stay tuned!
