# Changelog All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). ## [Unreleased] ### Added ### Changed - Update links to @fediversespace Mastodon account ### Deprecated ### Removed - Remove staging backend server ### Fixed - Fixed frontend crash when instance node missing ### Security ## [2.8.3 - 2019-11-19] ### Changed - Update dependencies ### Fixed - Fixed some unsuccessful crawls being saved without their errors ## [2.8.2 - 2019-08-31] ### Fixed - Fix insularity score only working for > 0 ## [2.8.1 - 2019-08-31] ### Fixed - Fixed error when viewing some uncrawlable instances - Fix navbar z-index - Optimize query used for generating status rate ## [2.8.0 - 2019-08-29] ### Added - 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). - 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). - Add tabular view of instances. ### Changed - Edges are no longer shown between instances where one blocks the other (based on the federation list in nodeinfo). ## [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. - Add handling for weirdly-formatted Friendica peers. - If the details of an instance fail to load, it's now easy to dismiss the error. ## [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. ## [2.6.1 - 2019-08-10] ### Changed - 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! ## [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. ## [2.5.0 - 2019-08-08] ### Added - Added Misskey crawler. ### Changed - Crawl instances that are down or unrecognized less often. ### Fixed - Fixed broken instance view on mobile devices. - Increased database connection timeout - required as the database grows! ## [2.4.1 - 2019-08-04] ### Fixed - Fixed a wonky search UI when there are no results. ## [2.4.0 - 2019-08-04] ### Added - You can now click a button in the search bar to search (you can also still just press enter, of course). - You can now filter searches by instance type. - 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, persian, romanian, russian, sorani, spanish, swedish, turkish, thai. ## [2.3.1 - 2019-08-03] ### Added - Added a warning on mobile devices suggesting to view the site on a larger computer. ### Changed - Performance improvements when opening the app on something that isn't the graph. - There are now fewer irrelevant search results. - Clarify that the admin page only works for Mastodon and Pleroma instances. ### Fixed - Fixed some instances being duplicated (due to un-normalized data). - Fixed mobile instance view erroring for uncrawled instances. - Improved error handling in admin login page. - Instances that opt-out will no longer show up in search results ever, nor are they accessible through the API. ### Security ## [2.3.0 - 2019-08-02] ### Added - Instance administrators can now log in to opt in or out of crawling. - Added ElasticSearch full-text search over instance domains and descriptions. - Search results are now highlighted on the graph. - When you hover a search result, it is now highlighted on the graph. - Instance details now show activity rate (average number of statuses posted per day). - It's now possible to color code by activity rate. ### Changed - Instances are now crawled hourly instead of every 30 minutes. - There are now 100 concurrent crawl workers by default (increased from 50). - The colors for color coding have been made brighter (more visible against the dark background). ### Fixed - Fixed a process leak that could cause the server to OOM. - Domains are no longer added to the queue twice. ### Security - The server administrator can now be notified if there's a new potential spam domain. ## [2.2.0 - 2019-07-24] ### Added - It is now possible to color code the graph by instance type (e.g. Mastodon, Pleroma, etc.) ## [2.1.0 - 2019-07-24] ### Added - It's now shown in the front-end if an instance wasn't crawled because of its robots.txt. - You can now link directly to instances at e.g. /instance/mastodon.social. - Instance details now have a link to the corresponding fediverse.network page. - The main graph is no longer displayed on mobile. Instead, a smaller neighborhood graph is shown. ### Changed - You no longer have to zoom completely in to see labels. - Label size is now dependent on the instance size. - The instance lookup field is now front-and-center. Is also uses the backend for faster lookups. This is to improve performance, and it lays the groundwork for full-text search over instance names and descriptions. - The reset-graph-view button now explains what it's for when you hover over it. ### Fixed - Previously, direct links to /about would return a 404 on Netlify's infrastructure. No longer. ## [2.0.0] - 2019-07-20 ### Added - The backend has been completely rewritten in Elixir for improved stability and performance. - An "insularity score" was added to show the percentage of mentions to users on the same instance. - The crawler now respects robots.txt. ### Changed - Migrated the frontend graph from Sigma.js to Cytoscape.js. - To improve performance, instances with no neighbors are no longer shown on the graph. ### Deprecated - The /api/v1 endpoint no longer exists; now there's a new /api. ### Security - Spam domains can be blacklisted in the backend crawler's config. - Add basic automated security scanning (using [Sobelow](https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im.git) and Gitlab's dependency scanning). ## [1.0.0] - 2018-09-01 ### Added - Initial release. The date above is inaccurate; this first version was released sometime in the fall of 2018. - This release had a Django backend and a [Sigma.js](http://sigmajs.org/) graph.
