The December edition of Trunk & Tidbits is posted.

It was a quieter month in terms of commits due to the holiday period, but some solid progress was made. Plus, the latest stable releases, end-of-life for Mastodon 4.2, and news about #fosdem

@MastodonEngineering Fediway seems like a nice opt-in feature for those who miss that, but... I can't really find any detailed information on how to use it or IF you can use it since it's server-side.

@ed it is still under development, hopefully more information will be available in future, but we wanted to highlight it as worth watching.

@MastodonEngineering That's "Boot and Titbits" to British readers...

@MastodonEngineering
thank you for your work

@james @MastodonEngineering can mastodons wear boots?

@james @MastodonEngineering as the British person who came up with the name 👋🏻 trunk = what we used to call main or master in the olden days of version control, also part of a mastodon or elephant; tidbits = choice or pleasing bits of information or food. But, yes, I see the alternate spellings 😜

@ivory y’all got a mention for your latest release!
