  • An OAuth grant can be confined to particular libraries or collections.
  • A credential that gave up notes or file access is now held to it: without notes a note is a 404 and appears in no listing, and without files the attachment bytes are refused.
  • A device with no browser can be authorized from one somewhere else: RFC 8628, on the same consent screen every other application gets.
  • An application can send somebody to /oauth/logout to end their browser session, holding an ID token this server issued as proof it may ask.
  • An application signing somebody in can be told which groups they belong to: a groups claim, behind an identity scope that reaches no library.
  • The interface splits English, Portuguese and Chinese by the territory they are read in, as Zotero does.
  • Third-party applications get scoped, expiring access to a library instead of an API key: OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and OpenID Connect. By @sadgen in #8.
  • Attachment downloads survive Zotero's April 2026 client rewrite: the redirect hands out a permission for the file, not the account key. By @sadgen in #7.
  • The container image is published as ghcr.io/eseifert/altero for x86-64 and arm64, so running altero needs neither a checkout nor a build.
  • Deployment documents what a small instance costs in memory and disk, and carries reverse-proxy configurations for nginx, Caddy and Traefik.
  • citeproc-py upgraded to 0.11.0 which allows to drop a workaround for a doubled full stop after an initialed name.
  • The documentation is written in American English throughout and reorganized around six sections.
  • The documentation is published as a site at https://eseifert.github.io/altero/, built by Zensical and deployed on every push, a version per release.
