Version 0.6
Today's release features two major additions, one to make installation easier, and the other to make discovery easier. Let's jump in.
Features
SQLite support (T529)
You no longer need MySQL / MariaDB to store data for your instance! Just select SQLite during the configuration process to use it instead of the MySQL driver.
Reader / local timeline (T554)
Take a break from writing to see what others on your instance have written! Admins can now turn on the Local timeline option in the Admin panel ([app] local_timeline in config.ini) to enable this for both writers on your instance and the wider public. The local timeline functions just like Read Write.as — it includes an RSS feed, and is opt-in. Writers can start publishing their work on the feed by going into their blog settings and choosing the Public visibility option.
More changes
- Ability to create admin user from the command-line with:
--create-admin username:password(T544) - Specify non-default configuration file to use with various commands via new
-c [filename]flag - Host highlight.js and MathJax locally, instead of on CloudFlare (T551)
