What's new
- Media library that lets you upload images to comments/post body and paste from the clipboard
- Animated gif support for user profile pictures
- Specify alt-text for link posts that link to an image
- Emoji picker and spoiler button added to markdown toolbar
- More links to the modlog (footer, community sidebar, user profile) and improved searching/filtering
- Leave a conversation to remove it from the list of their direct message conversations
- Post urls are now "friendly" since they include the community name and a snippet of the title instead of just a number
- Add link to show parent comment when directly viewing a comment reply
- Image markdown style formatting to allow more advanced control of how images are rendered. e.g.
 - Code syntax highlighting in code blocks and allow for style selection in user settings
- Tag cloud added to sidebar for feeds and topics
- Better searching and filtering of the Instances list
- Add a block (of a user, community, instance or domain) from the blocks and filters management area, without doing it via a post
- Popup suggestions when mentioning a community or user as you type
- Onboarding plugin which auto-subscribes, auto-blocks and sends a welcome message for new accounts
- Improved federation efficiency
- Old posts can be automatically archived (saved to S3) to free up database space
- Old posts by bots with no comments are automatically deleted
- LLDAP support, which does LDAP a bit differently
To upgrade
To upgrade from 1.2.x:
git pull git checkout v1.3.x ./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.shIn the past we had a separate project for realtime notifications, which is now unsupported as it's code has been merged with the main PieFed project. To set it up, refer to the Push Notifications section of install.md. As well as enhancing the user experience doing this will decrease load on your server if it hosts local communities with many subscribers as some of the federation work has been offloaded to the push notifications service.
Donations

When the GUI editor is enabled there won't be a 'Insert image' button below the post, you can use the image icon. This one:
Also, you can paste an image from your clipboard into the body field and it'll be automatically uploaded and the markdown for the image inserted into the field.

This post did not contain any content.

rimu@piefed.social for what it's worth, we had this discussion a decade ago too.
We ended up being very simplistic and not tying anything to anything else.
So posts are not tied to topics (theoretically you could have a post in multiple topics... we don't do that, but you can)
And topics aren't tied to categories (same deal, and we also don't have topics in multiple categories... yet!!, cross-posting will change that.
So when you have a direct url to a post it's just /post/. A friendly URL uses a post index, but we can do that because we order posts linearly. Piefed doesn't have that advantage unfortunately.
-
Yes, the /p/number bit is the only functional part of the url. I'll make it check for tampering!
-
Cool tweak!

@rimu It can be any community name and title though
E.g., https://piefed.social/c/anything/p/1382987/anything resolves to the same content as your original link.
That feels like a risk - you could give someone a URL that looks like it's for one community/title, but goes to a completely different one.
Trivial example - https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta@piefed.social/p/1220635/friendly-post-urls - looks trustworthy, but is completely different. That could be NSFW content, and you won't know until you click.
It isn't NSFW, you can trust me.
Or can you...?

@rimu this is awesome!
