So... this took a while. But without further ado, here are the:

v14.0.0-rc2 Release Notes

We are thrilled to announce a major release, including over 900 commits from various contributors, featuring an array of enhancements and new features.

Major changes:

Post Editing: 🧪 You asked, and we've delivered. Now you can view post edits from other Fediverse platforms and edit your own posts, making it easier than ever to correct mistakes or make updates. The ability to view post history is coming soon. @supakaity @april

Post Imports: 🧪 We've reintroduced the ability to import posts from other Misskey and Calckey instances, as well as Mastodon and Pleroma/Akkoma instances. Twitter archive import is coming soon... @april

Expanded Post Design: Introducing an improved and expanded post design, now with the added feature of tabs, making distinguishing between different interactions on posts seamless. @freeplay

New Header Design: Our sleek, new header design gives you more options for engagement, makes navigation easier, and just overall looks better. Centered icons ftw! @freeplay

Accessibility: We've taken big strides to make our platform more inclusive. Expect improved navigation with focus trapping, comprehensive aria labels, accessible form inputs, more control over UI animations, and much more. @freeplay

Server Silences: No longer do you have to choose between only federating and purely blocking another server. Admins can now silence misbehaving but non-harmful instances. @nmkj

Modmail System: Moderators will appreciate this: mods can now send anonymous messages to users with moderation notes. This feature is still early in development, and may change in the near future.

New MFM effects: We've introduced two new MFM effects: $[fade ] and $[crop ] (and the new .delay modifier for all animated effects), and people are already doing really cool things with it! @Kiko @freeplay

Performance upgrades everywhere: with more Rust on the backend and heavy optimizations on the frontend, Calckey feels snappier than ever!

MeiliSearch: Servers with more resources can enjoy a faster search engine with filters! @privateger

Channel Search: Discover new channels with our new channel search feature. It's often frustrating to not be able to find channels on large servers, and this should make it easier. Even better channel discovery is coming soon. @naskya

More Translations: We've added more translations in over 10 languages, all with the help of people like you. If you know a non-English language, we accept community translations over at our weblate.

Dev Server Template: We've revamped our server template for developers, making the development process more intuitive. @[email protected]

Improved System Emails: We've refined our system emails to be more informative and user-friendly.

Numerous Bug Fixes: We've dedicated significant effort to squash many bugs in this update, enhancing the overall performance and user experience.

cuid2 IDs: the old ID generation methods have all been deprecated in favor of cuid2, which leads to better security and less chances of errors. @nmkj

Upgrade instructions:

Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.

This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.

If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".

So #KeepFediWeird.
