Added support for scheduled posts (for this to work correctly, users will have to set their time zone, see below).
The user can now select a working time zone. This will be used to correctly parse the local date and time of a scheduled post.
Fixed incorrect poll vote format, which was causing problems in platforms like GotoSocial.
Mastodon API: added support for /api/v1/instance/peers.
Added a new snac-admin helper script (contributed by shtrophic).
In the web UI, posts are separated by the <hr hidden> tag; it's invisible in graphical browsers, but it separates post clearly in text-based browsers.
Some Finnish, Spanish, Czech and Russian translation updates and fixes.

Previous edition: https://mitra.social/objects/019499d8-2a50-b1df-6908-393384df7e2d
Added support for subscribing to LitePub (Pleroma-style) Fediverse Relays like e.g. https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com to improve federation. See snac(8) (the Administrator Manual) for more information on how to use this feature.
Added support for following hashtags. This is only useful if your instance is subscribed to relays (see above).
Added support for a Mastodon-like /authorize_interaction webpoint entry, that allows following, liking and boosting from another account's Mastodon public web interface. To be able to use it, you must reconfigure your https proxy to redirect /authorize_interaction to snac (see snac(8)).
Some fixes to accept Event objects properly (like those coming from implementations like https://gancio.org/ or https://mobilizon.fr).
Added some caching for local Actor objects.
Hashtags that are not explicitly linked in a post's content are shown below it.
Fixed broken NetBSD build (missing dependency in Makefile.NetBSD).
The user profile can now include longitude and latitude data for your current location.
Mastodon API: implemented limit= on notification fetches (contributed by nowster), implemented faster min_id handling (contributed by nowster), obey the quiet public visibility set for posts, other timeline improvements (contributed by nowster).
Reduced RSA key size for new users from 4096 to 2048. This will be friendlier to smaller machines, and everybody else out there is using 2048.
If the SNAC_BASEDIR environment variable is defined and set to the base directory of your installation, you don't have to include the base directory in the command line.
Fixed a bug in the generation of the top page (contributed by an-im-dugud).
Added support for Markdown headers and underlining (contributed by an-im-dugud).

This release has been inspired by the song Nine Hundred Miles by #BarbaraDane.
Fixed regression in link verification code (contributed by nowster).
Added ipv6 support for the https frontend connection (contributed by hb9hnt).
New "Like by URL" operation (contributed by dheadshot).
Added support for a Mastodon-like /share link sharing URL, like the one provided by sites like https://mastodonshare.com/ and such. To be able to use it, you must reconfigure your https proxy to redirect /share to snac (see snac(8)).
New linux landlock (sandboxing) support for enhanced security (contributed by shtrophic). It's still a bit experimental, so you have to enable it explicitly by recompiling with the WITH_LINUX_SANDBOX directive (e.g. make CFLAGS=-DWITH_LINUX_SANDBOX).
Some search fixes regarding repeated matches.
The export_csv cmdline operation now exports the CSV files inside a user's export/ subdirectory instead of the current directory.
All CSV files to be imported must now be stored inside a user's import/ subdirectory instead of the current directory.
Mastodon API: more timeline paging tunings (contributed by nowster), post language selected in apps is properly set.
The command-line operation note new reads the LANG environment variable to set the post's language.
A new command-line operation, note_unlisted, allows posting "unlisted" or "quiet public" posts.
The maximum number of entries in users' RSS feeds and in outboxes can now be set via the max_public_entries variable in the server.json file.
Fixed broken support for Audio objects.
Made xmpp and mailto URLs clickable.

This release has been inspired by the painting Judith Slaying Holofernes by #ArtemisiaGentileschi.
Added a new user option to disable automatic follow confirmations (follow requests must be manually approved from the people page).
The search box also searches for accounts (via webfinger).
New command-line action import_list, to import a Mastodon list in CSV format (so that Mastodon Follow Packs can be directly used).
New command-line action import_block_list, to import a Mastodon list of accounts to be blocked in CSV format.

The server can now act as a proxy for all image, audio or video media coming from other account's posts (both from the Web UI and the Mastodon API). This way, other servers will see media requests coming from the server IP, not the user's, improving privacy. This is controlled by setting the proxy_media boolean field to server.json to true.
The strict_public_timelines option introduced in the previous release now works correctly.
Fixed a crash when posting from the links browser.
Fixed some repeated images from Lemmy posts.
Fixed a crash when posting an image from the tooot mobile app.
Updated FreeBSD rc script: the server process is now managed by the daemon(8) utility (contributed by @stefano@bsd.cafe).
RSS feeds are now in 2.0 version instead of 0.91.

This release has been inspired by the song New Moon (Dark Phase) by #DuranDuran.
Migration from a Mastodon account to a snac one has been implemented. Please see snac(8) (the administrator manual) for more information.
Mastodon API: fixed timelines/public (it was showing less posts that it should).
Fixed over-zealous caching to the public timeline.
Some HTML tweaks and fixes to the web interface.

This release has been inspired by the painting The Hands Resist Him by #BillStoneham.
Support for custom Emojis has been added; they are no longer hardcoded, but read from the emojis.json file at the server base directory. Also, they are no longer limited to string substitutions, but images as external URLs are also supported (see snac(8) for more information).
Fixed a bug that caused some notifications to be lost when coming from a user in the same instance.
Added an additional check for blocked instances (sometimes, posts from blocked sites that were ancestors of legit posts were 'leaking' into the timeline).
On OpenBSD, if the disable_email_notifications server flag is set to true, unveil() is not called for the execution of the /usr/sbin/sendmail binary and pledge() doesn't set the exec promise.
