# Lemmy v0.10.0 Release (2021-04-05)
|
|
|
|
## Changes
|
|
|
|
Since our last release in February, we've had [~150](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/compare/0.9.9...main) commits to Lemmy. The biggest changes, as we'll outline below, are a split of Lemmy's user tables into federated and local tables, necessitating a `v3` of Lemmy's API, federated moderation, i18n support in join.lemmy.ml, and lots of back-end cleanup.
|
|
|
|
### Lemmy Server
|
|
|
|
#### General
|
|
|
|
- Rewrote config implementation, finally allowing us to use newer Rust versions.
|
|
- Removed categories.
|
|
- Various refactors.
|
|
|
|
#### API
|
|
|
|
- A full list of the API changes can be seen on this diff of [lemmy-js-client: 0.9.9 -> 0.10.0](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client/compare/0.9.9...0.10.0-rc.13) .
|
|
- Login invalidation on password change, thanks to @Mart-Bogdan
|
|
|
|
#### Federation
|
|
|
|
- It is now possible to add users from other instances as community mods.
|
|
- Federating Matrix ID.
|
|
- Many changes for better compatibility with ActivityPub standard.
|
|
|
|
#### Database
|
|
|
|
- Split the `user_` into `person` and `local_user` tables.
|
|
- Strictly typed commonly used ID columns, to prevent DB errors using `i32` as ids.
|
|
- Strictly typed URL fields, thanks to ajyoon.
|
|
- Created default DB forms, now used in all the unit tests.
|
|
|
|
### Lemmy UI
|
|
|
|
- Now using utf-8 emojis.
|
|
- Support for all the above changes to Lemmy.
|
|
- Typescript-safe i18n strings, thanks to @shilangyu.
|
|
- Added expandable post text (click on open book icon).
|
|
- Prettier cross-posting, which does smart quoting.
|
|
- Bugfixes for restoring scroll position on post page, custom site favicons, and autocomplete for login fields.
|
|
|
|
### Lemmy Docs
|
|
|
|
- Gazconroy built an [Async API spec for Lemmy](https://join.lemmy.ml/api/index.html), that now serves as our main API docs.
|
|
|
|
### join.lemmy.ml
|
|
|
|
- Rewrote in inferno isomorphic, added i18n support via [weblate](https://weblate.yerbamate.ml/projects/lemmy/joinlemmy/).
|
|
- Added a section on the support page thanking contributors.
|
|
- Changed some page urls / titles
|
|
|
|
## Upgrade notes
|
|
|
|
**Important**: there are multiple breaking changes:
|
|
|
|
- Configuration via environment variables is not supported anymore, you must have all your config in the [lemmy.hjson](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/ansible/templates/config.hjson) file ( except for `LEMMY_CONFIG_LOCATION` ).
|
|
- The config format for `allowed_instances` and `blocked_instances` has changed, and you need to adjust your config file manually:
|
|
- before: `allowed_instances: ds9.lemmy.ml,enterprise.lemmy.ml`
|
|
- now: `allowed_instances: ["ds9.lemmy.ml", "enterprise.lemmy.ml"]` , and only one of the `allowed_instances` or `blocked_instances` blocks can be set.
|
|
- The API has been upgraded from `v2` to `v3`, so all clients need to be updated: [lemmy-js-client: 0.9.9 -> 0.10.0](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client/compare/0.9.9...0.10.0-rc.13) .
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to make a DB backup before upgrading, follow [this guide](https://join.lemmy.ml/docs/en/administration/backup_and_restore.html).
|
|
|
|
To upgrade your instance to `v0.10.0`, simply follow the instructions in the documentation:
|
|
|
|
- [Upgrade with manual Docker installation](https://join.lemmy.ml/docs/en/administration/install_docker.html#updating)
|
|
- [Upgrade with Ansible installation](https://join.lemmy.ml/docs/en/administration/install_ansible.html)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Compilation time
|
|
|
|
|| v0.9.0 (Rust 1.47) | v0.10.0 (Rust 1.47) | v0.10.0 (Rust 1.51) |
|
|
|-| -------- | -------- | -------- |
|
|
|Clean | 140s | 146s | 119s |
|
|
| Incremental | 28s | 22s | 19s |
|
|
|
|
Despite ongoing efforts to speed up compilation, it has actually gotten slower when comparing with the same Rust version. Only thanks to improvements in newer Rust versions has our build process gotten faster. This could be simply because we added more code, while Lemmy v0.9.0 had 22.4k lines of Rust, v0.10.0 has 23.8k (an increase of 6%).
|
|
|
|
v0.9.0 build graph:
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.10.0 build graph:
|
|
|
|
|
|
We extracted the crates `lemmy_api_crud` and `lemmy_apub_receive` from `lemmy_api` and `lemmy_apub`, respectively, and renamed `lemmy_structs` to `lemmy_api_common`. In the second graph you can see how parts of the api and apub crates are now built nicely in parallel, speeding up builds on multi-core systems.
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, some crates have gotten much slower to compile, in particular `lemmy_db_queries` (6.5s slower), `lemmy_apub` (6.5s slower if we include `lemmy_apub_receive`). And `lemmy_db_views` is quite slow, just as before.

# Lemmy v0.9.0 Release (2021-01-25)
|
|
|
|
## Changes
|
|
|
|
Since our last release in October of last year, and we've had [~450](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/compare/v0.8.0...main) commits.
|
|
|
|
The biggest changes, as we'll outline below, are a re-work of Lemmy's database structure, a `v2` of Lemmy's API, and activitypub compliance fixes. The new re-worked DB is much faster, easier to maintain, and [now supports hierarchical rather than flat objects in the new API](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1275).
|
|
|
|
We've also seen the first release of [Lemmur](https://github.com/krawieck/lemmur/releases/tag/v0.1.1), an android / iOS (soon) / windows / linux client, as well as [Lemmer](https://github.com/uuttff8/Lemmy-iOS), a native iOS client. Much thanks to @krawieck, @shilangyu, and @uuttff8 for making these great clients. If you can, please contribute to their [patreon](https://www.patreon.com/lemmur) to help fund lemmur development.
|
|
|
|
## LemmyNet projects
|
|
|
|
### Lemmy Server
|
|
|
|
- [Moved views from SQL to Diesel](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1275). This was a spinal replacement for much of lemmy.
|
|
- Removed all the old fast_tables and triggers, and created new aggregates tables.
|
|
- Added a `v2` of the API to support the hierarchical objects created from the above changes.
|
|
- Moved continuous integration to [drone](https://cloud.drone.io/LemmyNet/lemmy/), now includes formatting, clippy, and cargo build checks, unit testing, and federation testing. [Drone also deploys both amd64 and arm64 images to dockerhub.](https://hub.docker.com/r/dessalines/lemmy)
|
|
- Split out documentation into git submodule.
|
|
- Shortened slur filter to avoid false positives.
|
|
- Added query performance testing and comparisons. Added indexes to make sure every query is `< 30 ms`.
|
|
- Added compilation time testing.
|
|
|
|
### Federation
|
|
|
|
This release includes some bug fixes for federation, and some changes to get us closer to compliance with the ActivityPub standard.
|
|
|
|
- [Community bans now federating](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1287).
|
|
- [Local posts sometimes got marked as remote](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1302).
|
|
- [Creator of post/comment was not notified about new child comments](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1325).
|
|
- [Community deletion now federated](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1256).
|
|
|
|
None of these are breaking changes, so federation between 0.9.0 and 0.8.11 will work without problems.
|
|
|
|
### Lemmy javascript / typescript client
|
|
|
|
- Updated the [lemmy-js-client](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client) to use the new `v2` API. Our API docs now reference this project's files, to show what the http / websocket forms and responses should look like.
|
|
- Drone now handles publishing its [npm packages.](https://www.npmjs.com/package/lemmy-js-client)
|
|
|
|
### Lemmy-UI
|
|
|
|
- Updated it to use the `v2` API via `lemmy-js-client`, required changing nearly every component.
|
|
- Added a live comment count.
|
|
- Added drone deploying, and builds for ARM.
|
|
- Fixed community link wrapping.
|
|
- Various other bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Lemmy Docs
|
|
|
|
- We moved documentation into a separate git repository, and support translation for the docs now!
|
|
- Moved our code of conduct into the documentation.
|
|
|

# Lemmy v0.8.0 Release (2020-10-16)
|
|
|
|
## Changes
|
|
|
|
We've been working at warp speed since our `v0.7.0` release in June, adding over [870 commits](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/compare/v0.7.0...main) since then. :sweat:
|
|
|
|
Here are some of the bigger changes:
|
|
|
|
### LemmyNet projects
|
|
|
|
- Created [LemmyNet](https://github.com/LemmyNet), where all lemmy-related projects live.
|
|
- Split out the frontend into a separete repository, [lemmy-ui](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui)
|
|
- Created a [lemmy-js-client](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client), for any js / typescript developers.
|
|
- Split out i18n [lemmy-translations](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-translations), that any app or site developers can import and use. Lemmy currently supports [~30 languages!](https://weblate.yerbamate.ml/projects/lemmy/lemmy/)
|
|
|
|
### Lemmy Server
|
|
|
|
#### Federation
|
|
|
|
- The first **federation public beta release**, woohoo :fireworks:
|
|
- All Lemmy functionality now works over ActivityPub (except turning remote users into mods/admins)
|
|
- Instance allowlist and blocklist
|
|
- Documentation for [admins](https://join.lemmy.ml/docs/administration_federation.html) and [devs](https://join.lemmy.ml/docs/contributing_federation_overview.html) on how federation works
|
|
- Upgraded to newest versions of @asonix activitypub libraries
|
|
- Full local federation setup for manual testing
|
|
- Automated testing for nearly every federation action
|
|
- Many additional security checks
|
|
- Lots and lots of refactoring
|
|
- Asynchronous sending of outgoing activities
|
|
|
|
### User Interface
|
|
|
|
- Separated the UI from the server code, in [lemmy-ui](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui).
|
|
- The UI can now read with javascript disabled!
|
|
- It's now a fully isomorphic application using [inferno-isomorphic](https://infernojs.org/docs/guides/isomorphic). This means that page loads are now much faster, as the server does the work.
|
|
- The UI now also supports open-graph and twitter cards! Linking to lemmy posts (from whatever platform you use) looks pretty now: 
|
|
- Improved the search page ( more features incoming ).
|
|
- The default view is now `Local`, instead of `All`, since all would show all federated posts.
|
|
- User settings are now shared across browsers ( a page refresh will pick up changes ).
|
|
- A much leaner mobile view.
|
|
|
|
#### Backend
|
|
|
|
- Re-organized the rust codebase into separate workspaces for backend and frontend.
|
|
- Removed materialized views, making the database **a lot faster**.
|
|
- New post sorts `Active` (previously called hot), and `Hot`. Active shows posts with recent comments, hot shows highly ranked posts.
|
|
- New sort for `Local` ( meaning from local communities).
|
|
- Customizeable site, user, and community icons and banners.
|
|
- Added user preferred names / display names, bios, and cakedays.
|
|
- Visual / Audio captchas through the lemmy API.
|
|
- Lots of API field verifications.
|
|
- Upgraded to pictrs-v2 ( thanks to @asonix )
|
|
- Wayyy too many bugfixes to count.
|
|
|
|
## Contributors
|
|
|
|
We'd also like to thank both the [NLnet foundation](https://nlnet.nl/) for their support in allowing us to work full-time on Lemmy ( as well as their support for [other important open-source projects](https://nlnet.nl/project/current.html) ), [those who sponsor us](https://lemmy.ml/sponsors), and those who [help translate Lemmy](https://weblate.yerbamate.ml/projects/lemmy/). Every little bit does help. We remain committed to never allowing advertisements, monetizing, or venture-capital in Lemmy; software should be communal, and should benefit humanity, not a small group of company owners.
|
|
|
|
## Upgrading
|
|
|
|
- [with manual Docker installation](https://join.lemmy.ml/docs/administration_install_docker.html#updating)
|
|
- [with Ansible installation](https://join.lemmy.ml/docs/administration_install_ansible.html)
|
|
|
|
## Testing Federation
|
|
|
|
Federation is finally ready in Lemmy, pending possible bugs or other issues. So for now we suggest to enable federation only on test servers, or try it on our own test servers ( [enterprise](https://enterprise.lemmy.ml/), [ds9](https://ds9.lemmy.ml/), [voyager](https://voyager.lemmy.ml/) ).
|
|
|
|
If everything goes well, after a few weeks we will enable federation on lemmy.ml, at first with a limited number of trusted instances. We will also likely change the domain to https://lemmy.ml . Keep in mind that changing domains after turning on federation will break things.
|
|
|
|
To enable on your instance, edit your [lemmy.hjson](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/config/defaults.hjson#L60) federation section to `enabled: true`, and restart.
|
|
|
|
### Connecting to another server
|
|
|
|
The server https://ds9.lemmy.ml has open federation, so after either adding it to the `allowed_instances` list in your `config.hjson`, or if you have open federation, you don't need to add it explicitly.
|
|
|
|
To federate / connect with a server, type in `!community_name@server.tld`, in your server's search box [like so](https://voyager.lemmy.ml/search/q/!main%40ds9.lemmy.ml/type/All/sort/TopAll/page/1).
|
|
|
|
To connect with the `main` community on ds9, the search is `!main@ds9.lemmy.ml`.
|
|
|
|
You can then click the community, and you will see a local version of the community, which you can subscribe to. New posts and comments from `!main@ds9.lemmy.ml` will now show up on your front page, or `/c/All`
|

# Lemmy v0.7.40 Pre-Release (2020-08-05)

We've [added a lot](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/compare/v0.7.40...v0.7.0) in this pre-release:
|
|
|
|
- New post sorts `Active` (previously called hot), and `Hot`. Active shows posts with recent comments, hot shows highly ranked posts.
|
|
- Customizeable site icon and banner, user icon and banner, and community icon and banner.
|
|
- Added user preferred names / display names, bios, and cakedays.
|
|
- User settings are now shared across browsers (a page refresh will pick up changes).
|
|
- Visual / Audio captchas through the lemmy API.
|
|
- Lots of UI prettiness.
|
|
- Lots of bug fixes.
|
|
- Lots of additional translations.
|
|
- Lots of federation prepping / additions / refactors.
|
|
|
|
This release removes the need for you to have a pictrs nginx route (the requests are now routed through lemmy directly). Follow the upgrade instructions below to replace your nginx with the new one.
