[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 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 graph.
