Publ 0.6.8, Authl 0.4.3

Posted Sunday, August 2 at 2:37 AM (4 years ago)

Some pretty big new features added. First, in Authl:

Major documentation improvements
Bug fixes with Fediverse instance caching
All providers now normalize to the same profile format
Some basic spam prevention for the email provider
100% unit test coverage on the Fediverse provider (which is now using mastodon.py instead of a hand-rolled OAuth client)

And in Publ:

Fenced code now uses <figure> and <figcaption> instead of ad-hoc <div>s for its layout, and the overall HTML semantic has been greatly improved
Individual code blocks are now configurable with respect to highlighting and line numbering
The user object now provides a user profile and separates the identity URL from the familiar name

Publ 0.6.6, Authl 0.4.0

I’ve just released new versions of Publ and Authl.

Publ v0.6.6 changes:

Fixed a regression that made it impossible to log out
Fixed a problem where WWW-Authenticate headers weren’t being cached properly
Improve the changed-file cache-busting methodology
Add object pooling to Entry, Category, and View (for a potentially big memory and performance improvement)

Authl v0.4.0 changes:

Finally started to add unit tests
Removed some legacy WebFinger code that was no longer relevant or ever touched
Added a mechanism to allow providers to go directly to login, as appropriate
Added friendly visual icons for providers which support them (a so-called “NASCAR interface”)

Publ v0.6.5 is now out. Has the following changes:

Upgrading Publ will now invalidate the cache
Fixes the missing database session around the authentication log viewer
Fixes the way that the indexer works when an entry changes ID
Fixes a bug where draft entries' temporary IDs were overriding the permanent/assigned IDs of visible entries
Added some useful commandline tools

The next things I want to work on:
