Hello everyone!

We've just made the first release candidate for version 0.16.0 of #GoToSocial, aka Snappy Sloth.

https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.16.0-rc1

For adventurous instance admins, please read the release + migration notes very carefully when updating to this release, paying particular attention to the database migrations section.

Here are the release highlights:

Sign up / registration: In this release, you can open your instance to new registrations (aka sign-ups) via the new signup page at https://[your-instance.tld]/signup. No more manually creating new users via the CLI :)
Documentation here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/admin/signups/
Accounts overview for moderators: To support the new sign-up feature, and help instance admins to moderate, we made a new section in the settings panel where admins + moderators can get an overview of accounts, and filter by instance, status, and more. You'll find this new accounts view in the settings panel.
Totally reworked message delivery system and worker queues: We've completely reworked the way GoToSocial sends out messages to your followers and performs worker-related tasks; this should drastically increase the speed that outgoing messages are delivered, especially for users with lots of followers. It also paves the way for future work in terms of persisting worker and message queues over restarts.
Account mutes: The account mute API endpoints are now implemented, meaning you can put (timed) mutes of accounts in place, to hide statuses from specific accounts from your home timeline, and/or hide notifications from muted accounts.
Accurate account stats: This release introduces code to pull up-to-date counts of statuses, followers, and following from remote instances and show these stats via the API. So now in your client of choice, you should see an accurate count of the number of statuses and followers/following of a given account, no more "0 followers, 0 following, 0 statuses".
HTTP header permissions settings: The settings panel now has a section that allows admins to set regular expressions to deny requests depending on HTTP headers.
Documentation here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/admin/request_filtering_modes/
Filters v2 implementation: We've now implemented the v2 API for filters, which means you can create more complex filters to hide keywords or statuses, and more clients should be able to create filters on GoToSocial.
Send test email: Admins can now use the settings panel to send a test email, to check if their SMTP (email) configuration is valid.
Profile API: Clients that use the profile API to delete avatar + header images should now work, since we've now implemented this part of the API.
Search operators: We've added a first search operator to GoToSocial, so when you're searching for statuses, you can add from:@[username]@[domain] to your search term, to search only within statuses created by the given account (while still respecting the search limitations we already had in place).
Documentation here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/search/
Email change: Users can now change their email address in the settings panel without admin intervention.
Documentation here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#email-change
Memory usage optimizations: GoToSocial now uses memory more conservatively than before; you should only need about 150-200MiB of memory to run GtS with a full cache, and it will spike less.

Demon that you summon so often they just give you their phone number. It's less disorienting than summoning and is less wasteful on chalk and candles.

I’ve had several people tell me they can’t see my avatar lately, this is a federation bug.

You can force the server to fetch an account’s details by putting its full url (for example, mine is https://rage.love/@Siph) in your Mastodon server’s search bar. Try this if you’re confused about someone not having an avatar anymore !

A planned higher VAT on #books in the #Netherlands hinders access to research.

The planned increase in the #VAT rate on books and #scholarly #information resources in the Netherlands from 9% to 21% will have a major impact on the #accessibility of #HigherEducation.

Hey y'all! so last year on #Juneteenth I started a lil #reparations thread. Some racist assholes took issue with that...

So this year I'll be making multiple threads throughout the month! It's now June where I am so I'm eager to get started.

Black folks, reply w/ your cashapp venmo ko-fi etc etc if you like.

Other folks, (especially if you're benefitting from the federal holiday) throw them coins if you got the means and *boost replies in the thread for circulation*

:)

*pls boost*
