WriteFreely

We've just released version 0.2! This includes a ton of basic fixes, especially around installation, and some bigger things like federation with Pleroma.

New Features

• See how many fediverse followers your blogs have
• WriteFreely now works with Pleroma

Application Fixes

• Fix individual post ActivityStreams data fetching, so boosting works (#4)
• Use WriteFreely avatars in social media image preview, instead of Write.as logo

Installation Fixes

• Fix template loading on Windows (#2)
• Fix database errors around default values (#3, #7)
• Don't unnecessarily connect to DB after configuring multi-user instance
• Show any errors when server start fails
• Fix encryption key loading on Windows
• Move encryption key generation from keys.sh to writefreely --gen-keys

Upgrading from v0.1

Download the latest release for your operating system. Stop running your writefreely service, replace all files in your installation with the ones in the archive, and then start your writefreely service again.

Important: always keep config.ini and the files in your keys directory across all upgrades — don't delete or replace these manually.

Database migrations are manual for now! Fun! To upgrade, connect to your database and run:

ALTER TABLE `remoteusers` DROP `followers`;
