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.
Hello again! 👋 After a long absence, we’re pleased to release WriteFreely v0.13 today! This one includes a new rich editor, generic OAuth support, Web Monetization support, and a ton of small improvements. Besides that, this is one of our last releases before version 1.0!
This summer we largely took a break from major work on WriteFreely to turn our focus to something new: native apps for the Apple ecosystem. Now, after developing in the open, building a Swift library, writing about our adventures with SwiftUI, and opening the app to beta testers, we're excited to finally release WriteFreely for iOS v1.0!
You can buy it now for $14.99 on the App Store (requires iOS 14 or later), and find the GPL-licensed source code on GitHub.
