Hello!
Here's the first release candidate for version 0.12.0 of GoToSocial, codename SPAGHETTI SLOTH 🍝
Release highlights
This release brings initial support for different federation modes, starting with allowlist federation mode. You can now set your federation mode to allowlist, and then add and remove domain allows via the admin settings panel. You can read documentation on this feature here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/admin/federation_modes/.
We revamped some other bits of the settings panel too, including adding a setting for the 'discoverable' flag, which is documented here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#mark-account-as-discoverable-by-search-engines-and-directories
And as usual we did a whole bunch of bug fixing, performance tweaks, and that sort of thing! It's a bit of a cliche to put that in release notes, but there you go.
We also started implementing some background functionality for poll support, but we didn't quite finish that in time for this release, so polls are not yet enabled. Next time!
Migration notes
Settings panel
You may get an error when using the new settings panel code for the first time, since we moved some stuff around. To resolve this, please try clearing cookies for the page using your browser settings, refreshing the page, and then logging in again.
Building frontend from source
If you build the frontend assets (settings panel, css, etc) yourself from source, please be aware that the instructions for building have changed slightly: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#stylesheet--web-dev
