+# Lemmy v0.15.0 Release (2022-01-12)
+
+Lemmy now has private instances, optional registration applications, optional email verification, and temporary bans! These are described in detail below.
+
+Special thanks to @asonix for adding [tokio-console](https://github.com/LemmyNet/Lemmy/issues/2003) and [Jaeger + opentelemetry](https://github.com/LemmyNet/Lemmy/issues/1992) to our dev setups, so we can better identify performance bottlenecks.
+
+
+## What is Lemmy?
+
+[Lemmy](https://join-lemmy.org/) is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, or Hacker News: you subscribe to communities you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote and comment on them. Lemmy isn't just a reddit alternative; its a network of interconnected communities ran by different people and organizations, all combining to create a single, personalized front page of your favorite news, articles, and memes.
+
+## Major Changes
+
+### Required email verification
+
+Admins can turn this on, and new users will need to verify their emails. Current users will not have to do this.
+
+### Registration applications
+
+Admins can now optionally make new users fill out an application to join your server. There is a new panel in their top bar where they can approve or deny pending applications.
+
+This works in conjunction with the *require_email* field. If that is also turned on, the application will only be shown after their email has been verified. The user will receive an email when they have been accepted.
+
+### Closed / Private instances
+
+The instance settings now includes a *private instance* option, which if turned on, will only let logged in users view your site. Private instances was one of our first issues, and it was a large effort, so its great to finally have this completed.
+
+### Temporary Bans
+
+When banning users from your site or community, moderators can now optionally give a number of days for the ban to last.
+
+### Allow comment replies from blocked users
+
+It used to be that if a user blocked you, you couldn't respond to their public posts and comments. This is now fixed. They won't see your content, but others can.
+
+## Upgrade notes
+
+Follow the [Docker or Ansible upgrade instructions here.](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/administration.html)
+
+## Support development
+
+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
+
+We've removed a list of banned users from `GetSite`, added a few endpoints related to registration applications, made a few changes allowing temporary bans, site settings, made a few changes to the login response. These are non-destructive and current clients should work with this release.
+
+- A full list of the API changes can be seen on this diff of [lemmy-js-client: 0.14.0 -> 0.15.0](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client/compare/0.14.0-rc.1...0.15.0-rc.34) .

+# Lemmy Release v0.14.0: Federation with Mastodon and Pleroma (2021-11-17)
+
+Today is an exciting day for the Lemmy project.
+
+Almost one year after [first enabling federation](https://lemmy.ml/post/42833), we now federate with other projects for the first time! According to some people's definition, this finally makes us part of the Fediverse.
+
+It took a lot of work to make this possible, so big thanks to [NLnet](https://nlnet.nl/) for funding our full time work on Lemmy, and to [@lanodan](https://queer.hacktivis.me/users/lanodan) and [@asonix](https://masto.asonix.dog/@asonix) for helping to figure out how Pleroma and Mastodon federation works (it's difficult because they have almost no documentation).
+
+
+## Major Changes
+
+### Federation code rewrite
+
+The rewrite of the federation code started by @nutomic in August is now mostly complete. As a result, the code is much cleaner, and has tests to guarantee no breaking changes between Lemmy versions. As a side effect of this rewrite, it was now relatively easy to enable federation with other projects.
+
+Mastodon and Pleroma users can:
+
+- View Lemmy communities, user profiles, posts and comments
+- Follow Lemmy communities to receive new posts and comments
+- Replies (mentions) work in both directions, including notifications
+
+In addition, Pleroma users can exchange private messages with Lemmy users.
+
+Note that Pleroma and Mastodon rely on a compatibility mode in Lemmy, which means that they won't receive events like Deletes or Votes. Other projects whose federation works similar to Pleroma/Mastodon will likely also federate.
+
+### Hardcoded slur filter removed
+
+Lemmy finally has essential moderation tools (reporting, user/community blocking), so the hardcoded filter isn't necessary anymore. If you want to keep using the slur filter, copy [these lines](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/b18ea3e0cc620c3f97f9804c09b92f193809b846/config/config.hjson#L8-L12) to your config file when upgrading, and adjust to your liking.
+
+## Upgrade notes
+
+Federation with Pleroma/Mastodon works automatically, you don't need to change anything, assuming that your allowlist/blocklist configuration permits it.
+
+Note that Mastodon and Pleroma are much, much bigger than Lemmy at this point, with a combined 3 milion users and 4500 instances, compared to 20.000 users and 35 instances for Lemmy ([source](https://the-federation.info/)). The existing mod tools in Lemmy might not be adequate to handle that at the moment.
+
+Be aware that if you have federation enabled in the Lemmy config, Mastodon and Pleroma users can now fetch all posts and comments, to view them and share with their followers. The Lemmy blocklist/allowlist can not prevent this, it only prevents posts/comments from blocked instances to be shown on your own instance. The only solution to this problem is disabling federation, or waiting for [signed fetch](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/868) to be implemented.
+
+If you want to use federation, but review new instances before federating with them, use the allowlist. You can switch from open federation to allowlist federation by pasting the output of the command below into `federation.allowed_instances` in the Lemmy config.
+
+```
+curl https://your-instance.com/api/v3/site | jq -c .federated_instances.linked
+```
+
+The [`lemmy.hjson` `additional_slurs` field has changed its name to `slur_filter`. ](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/b18ea3e0cc620c3f97f9804c09b92f193809b846/config/config.hjson#L8-L12)
+
+Follow the [Docker or Ansible upgrade instructions here.](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/administration.html)
+
+## Lemmy-Ansible
+
+We've now separated our ansible install method (the preferred way to deploy Lemmy) into its own repo, [lemmy-ansible](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible). Let us know if you need help migrating existing installations over to it.
+
+## Changes
+
+### API
+
+- There is now a `GetUnreadCount` in the API to check the count of your unread messages, replies, and mentions.
+- A full list of the API changes can be seen on this diff of [lemmy-js-client: 0.13.0 -> 0.14.0-rc.1](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client/compare/0.13.0...0.14.0-rc.1) .

+- It is now possible to add users from other instances as community mods.
+- Federating Matrix ID.
+- Many changes for better compatibility with ActivityPub standard.
+
+#### Database
+
+- Split the `user_` into `person` and `local_user` tables.
+- Strictly typed commonly used ID columns, to prevent DB errors using `i32` as ids.
+- Strictly typed URL fields, thanks to ajyoon.
+- Created default DB forms, now used in all the unit tests.
+
+### Lemmy UI
+
+- Now using utf-8 emojis.
+- Support for all the above changes to Lemmy.
+- Typescript-safe i18n strings, thanks to @shilangyu.
+- Added expandable post text (click on open book icon).
+- Prettier cross-posting, which does smart quoting.
+- Bugfixes for restoring scroll position on post page, custom site favicons, and autocomplete for login fields.
+
+### Lemmy Docs
+
+- Gazconroy built an [Async API spec for Lemmy](https://join-lemmy.org/api/index.html), that now serves as our main API docs.
+
+### join-lemmy.org
+
+- Rewrote in inferno isomorphic, added i18n support via [weblate](https://weblate.yerbamate.ml/projects/lemmy/joinlemmy/).
+- Added a section on the support page thanking contributors.
+- Changed some page urls / titles
+
+## Upgrade notes
+
+**Important**: there are multiple breaking changes:
+
+- Configuration via environment variables is not supported anymore, you must have all your config in the [lemmy.hjson](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/ansible/templates/config.hjson) file ( except for `LEMMY_CONFIG_LOCATION` ).
+- The config format for `allowed_instances` and `blocked_instances` has changed, and you need to adjust your config file manually:
+ - before: `allowed_instances: ds9.lemmy.ml,enterprise.lemmy.ml`
+ - now: `allowed_instances: ["ds9.lemmy.ml", "enterprise.lemmy.ml"]` , and only one of the `allowed_instances` or `blocked_instances` blocks can be set.
+- The API has been upgraded from `v2` to `v3`, so all clients need to be updated: [lemmy-js-client: 0.9.9 -> 0.10.0](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client/compare/0.9.9...0.10.0-rc.13) .
+
+If you'd like to make a DB backup before upgrading, follow [this guide](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/backup_and_restore.html).
+
+To upgrade your instance to `v0.10.0`, simply follow the instructions in the documentation:
+
+- [Upgrade with manual Docker installation](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/install_docker.html#updating)
+- [Upgrade with Ansible installation](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/install_ansible.html)
+
+
+## Compilation time
+
+|| v0.9.0 (Rust 1.47) | v0.10.0 (Rust 1.47) | v0.10.0 (Rust 1.51) |
+|-| -------- | -------- | -------- |
+|Clean | 140s | 146s | 119s |
+| Incremental | 28s | 22s | 19s |
+
+Despite ongoing efforts to speed up compilation, it has actually gotten slower when comparing with the same Rust version. Only thanks to improvements in newer Rust versions has our build process gotten faster. This could be simply because we added more code, while Lemmy v0.9.0 had 22.4k lines of Rust, v0.10.0 has 23.8k (an increase of 6%).
+
+v0.9.0 build graph:
+
+
+v0.10.0 build graph:
+
+
+We extracted the crates `lemmy_api_crud` and `lemmy_apub_receive` from `lemmy_api` and `lemmy_apub`, respectively, and renamed `lemmy_structs` to `lemmy_api_common`. In the second graph you can see how parts of the api and apub crates are now built nicely in parallel, speeding up builds on multi-core systems.
+
+On the other hand, some crates have gotten much slower to compile, in particular `lemmy_db_queries` (6.5s slower), `lemmy_apub` (6.5s slower if we include `lemmy_apub_receive`). And `lemmy_db_views` is quite slow, just as before.
+

+
# Lemmy v0.9.4 Pre-Release (2021-02-02)
## Changes
The biggest changes, as we'll outline below, are a re-work of Lemmy's database structure, a `v2` of Lemmy's API, and activitypub compliance fixes. The new re-worked DB is much faster, easier to maintain, and [now supports hierarchical rather than flat objects in the new API](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1275).
-We've also seen the first release of [Lemmur](https://github.com/krawieck/lemmur/releases/tag/v0.1.1), an android / iOS (soon) / windows / linux client, as well as [Lemmer](https://github.com/uuttff8/Lemmy-iOS), a native iOS client. Much thanks to @krawieck, @shilangyu, and @uuttff8 for making these great clients. If you can, please contribute to their [patreon](https://www.patreon.com/lemmur) to help fund lemmur development.
