2019-07-20 10:01:56 +00:00
### Added
2019-08-23 13:08:05 +00:00
- Add support for logging in via an ActivityPub direct message to the instance admin.
- Added option to hide edges between instances if there are only mentions in one direction (off by default).
2019-08-29 16:54:34 +00:00
- Added note to neighbors tab to make it explicit that blocked instances may appear.
- Added federation tab that shows federation restrictions (only available for some Pleroma instances).
2019-08-23 13:08:05 +00:00
2019-08-02 21:33:55 +00:00
### Changed
2019-08-27 15:02:59 +00:00

### Fixed
2019-08-15 14:19:26 +00:00
2019-08-23 11:52:29 +00:00
## [2.7.1 - 2018-08-23]
### Added
- Add caching to graph + instance endpoints to better handle traffic spikes.
### Fixed
- Added ON DELETE to `most_recent_crawl` table, such that it can handle previously-crawled but now-dead instances.
- You can now login to the admin view by clicking, not just by pressing enter.
2019-08-22 10:09:06 +00:00
- Add handling for weirdly-formatted Friendica peers.
- If the details of an instance fail to load, it's now easy to dismiss the error.
2019-08-18 16:14:58 +00:00
## [2.7.0 - 2018-08-18]
### Added
- Add Friendica crawler (only supports peers; there's no timeline API endpoint.)
- Color more server types on the map -- Hubzilla, Plume, Pixelfed, and Wordpress.
### Changed
- Cleaned up ElasticSearch configuration in backend.
### Removed
- Remove color-coding by activity per user. The vast majority of instances had the exact same color so this wasn't very useful.
2019-08-10 13:32:35 +00:00
## [2.6.1 - 2019-08-10]
### Changed
2019-08-10 13:32:35 +00:00
2019-08-10 13:21:22 +00:00
- Added missing indices on `crawls` and `crawl_interactions` tables.
- Added table to store most recent crawl. This speeds up the instance view by a lot!

2019-08-10 11:56:46 +00:00
## [2.6.0 - 2019-08-10]
### Added
- Add nodeinfo and GNU Social crawler.
- Thanks to nodeinfo, Peertube and Writefreely are now also displayed on the map.
- Note that the information about connections comes from other instances.
### Changed
- You can now zoom slightly further out on the map to see more of the fediverse at once.
### Fixed
- Database deletions are now properly handled with `ON DELETE CASCADE` where necessary.
2019-08-08 11:45:17 +00:00
## [2.5.0 - 2019-08-08]
### Added

2019-08-07 09:41:30 +00:00

### Fixed
- Fixed a wonky search UI when there are no results.
2019-08-04 12:46:38 +00:00

- Added toggle to show/hide edges on graph.
- Full-text search across instance descriptions now supports the following languages: arabic, armenian, basque,
bengali, brazilian, bulgarian, catalan, cjk (i.e. chinese, japanese, korean), czech, danish, dutch, english, finnish,
french, galician, german, greek, hindi, hungarian, indonesian, irish, italian, latvian, lithuanian, norwegian,
