Our latest patch version contains several critical security fixes, including one for an authentication bypass that let unauthenticated attackers use the API as another user. It also fixes several other issues around federation, private blogs, and access control. We recommend all admins update to this version as soon as possible.
This release also updates our Web Monetization support to the latest version of the standard, and includes a handful of bug fixes and improvements for users and admins.
Our latest patch version contains a critical security fix for closed-registration instances, along with some minor bug fixes and improvements to the UI. We recommend all admins update to this version as soon as possible.
Our latest patch version contains a few important fixes, including one for the Export page (#1703), which broke with our last release (v0.17).
It also adds an important new command-line tool for admins to easily clear out accounts in a single mass action (#1705). This is especially useful for instances that were affected by a vulnerability that still allowed account registrations on closed servers (v0.16 or earlier).
WriteFreely v0.16 is finally here, and it brings a ton of improvements, especially for the fediverse! We've also fixed some long-standing issues, like hashtags on instances backed by MySQL 8.0.4+.
Our latest version of WriteFreely is out now! This is a minor update, but with some important bug fixes, especially around navigation and federation.
Note: The official release binary will not work on older systems, e.g. Ubuntu 18.04 or earlier. See #1064 for more information and a way to work around it.
Our first release of 2024 is here! This one features many small improvements and fixes, plus a big new feature many people have asked for: newsletters / email subscriptions!
This release fixes issues that were mostly introduced in our last release, v0.13. Most critically, it fixes a database lock bug that caused SQLite-backed instances with the Reader enabled to become unresponsive — so we recommend that admins of these instances absolutely upgrade to this version.
