Hello everyone! Remember when we said that v0.3.6 was the last release before 0.4.0? Well, we lied (accidentally).

This release contains some cool new features and some important security fixes; in particular, we fixed an important issue with the visibility of self-boosted followers-only posts, so we recommend updating to this version asap to avoid leaking anything confidential.

Thanks to @f0x52 we also have new styling for profile and instance pages! Remember to hard-refresh (ctrl-f5) in your browser after updating to see the shiny new pages ✨

Highlights

• New instance page and profile page styling! More accessible color contrasts, and a cleaner look for profile cards / headers.
• Added /api/v1/instance/peers endpoint. It's disabled by default. Check the config.yaml file for how to enable this.
• Experimental S3 support has been added. S3 will only work for new instances, not existing instances doing an update, so please be aware of this. We will add a migration script for this in the future so that existing instances can switch to S3 for storage if they like :)
• Add mastodon style configuration object to /api/v1/instance response. This should cause fewer compatibility issues with client apps.
• Cleanup job to remove unused local attachments that were never attached to a status, should save a little bit of disk space.

Known Issues

• Profile pages show @username@Instance Title rather than @username@instance.url.com as they ought. We'll fix this next time :)
