It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top. + +## Major changes + +This version adds a new community setting "restricted". If this is active, only moderators can post in the community (but anyone can comment). This can be useful for announcements or blogs. + +In your site settings there is a new field for legal information. This can be used to present terms of service, privacy policy etc. + +We've also added an admin setting for the default post listing type. This determines whether users without login, and newly registered users, will see the `Local` or `All` timeline by default. + +HTML tags are now disabled in markdown, as the were causing some issues. + +### Federation + +Lemmy now federates with [Peertube](https://joinpeertube.org/)! Be aware that this requires Peertube [v4.2.0-rc.1](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/tag/v4.2.0-rc.1) or later. You can now follow Peertube channels from Lemmy and comment on videos. If there is other functionality that you would like to see federated, please open an issue (the same goes for federation with other projects). + +When browsing remote Lemmy communities, you will now see the site description and rules in the sidebar. Some federated actions did not generate mod log entries previously, this has been fixed. Also, federation with Friendica was approved, Lemmy now correctly receives comments with hashtags. Additionally, the previous version had a check which rejected federation in case the domain of user avatars or banners didn't match the user's domain. This check broke federation with some instances, +and was removed. + +### Rust API + +If you are thinking of developing a Rust application which interacts with Lemmy, this is now much easier. The [lemmy-api-common](https://crates.io/crates/lemmy_api_common) crate has a new feature which disables all heavy dependencies (like diesel) by default. You can add the crate to your project, and interact with Lemmy API using the exact same structs that Lemmy itself uses. For an example, have a look at [lemmyBB](https://github.com/Nutomic/lemmyBB). Its in a very early stage, +so contributions are welcome! + +In other development news, our test instances ([ds9.lemmy.ml](https://ds9.lemmy.ml/), [voyager.lemmy.ml](https://voyager.lemmy.ml/), [enterprise.lemmy.ml](https://enterprise.lemmy.ml/)) are now updated automatically every night with the latest development version. This should make it easier for admins and users to test new features before they are released. At the same time, [join-lemmy.org](https://join-lemmy.org/) and its instance list are also updated automatically every night. + +## Upgrade notes + +Follow the [Docker or Ansible upgrade instructions here.](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/administration.html) + +## Support development + +We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for almost two years. This is largely thanks to support from [NLnet foundation](https://nlnet.nl/). + +If you'd like to support development, and make sure that we will always be available to work full time on Lemmy, consider [donating to support its development](https://join-lemmy.org/donate). We've spent hundreds of hours on Lemmy, and would like to be able to add more developers to our little open-source co-op as time goes on. + +## Changes + +### API + +- A full list of the API changes can be seen on this diff of [lemmy-js-client: 0.16.0 -> 0.16.4](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client/compare/0.16.0-rc.1...0.16.4-rc.3) . + +### Lemmy + +- Add legal information (fixes [#721](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/721)) ([#2273](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2273)) +- Add drone task for nightly build ([#2264](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2264)) +- Fixing malformed rosetta translations.
