# Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

## [4.3.0] - UNRELEASED

The following changelog entries focus on changes visible to users, administrators, client developers or federated software developers, but there has also been a lot of code modernization, refactoring, and tooling work, in particular by @mjankowski.

### Security

- **Add confirmation interstitial instead of silently redirecting logged-out visitors to remote resources** (#27792, #28902, and #30651 by @ClearlyClaire and @Gargron)\
  This fixes a longstanding open redirect in Mastodon, at the cost of added friction when local links to remote resources are shared.

### Added

- **Add experimental server-side notification grouping** (#29889, #30576, #30685, #30688, #30707, #30776, #30779, #30781, #30440, #31062, #31098, #31076, #31111, #31123, #31223, #31214, #31224, #31299, #31325, #31347, #31304, #31326, #31384, #31403, #31433, #31509, #31486, and #31513 by @ClearlyClaire, @mgmn, and @renchap)\
  Group notifications of the same type for the same target, so that your notifications no longer get cluttered by boost and favorite notifications as soon as a couple of your posts get traction.\
  This is done server-side so that clients can efficiently get relevant groups without having to go through numerous pages of individual notifications.\
  As part of this, the visual design of the entire notifications feature has been revamped.\
  This feature is intended to eventually replace the existing notifications column, but for this first beta, users will have to enable it in the “Experimental features” section of the notifications column settings.\
  The API is not final yet, but it consists of:
  - a new `group_key` attribute to `Notification` entities
  - `GET /api/v2_alpha/notifications`: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/notifications_alpha/#get-grouped
  - `GET /api/v2_alpha/notifications/:group_key`: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/notifications_alpha/#get-notification-group
  - `POST /api/v2_alpha/notifications/:group_key/dimsiss`: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/notifications_alpha/#dismiss-group
  - `GET /api/v2_alpha/notifications/:unread_count`: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/notifications_alpha/#unread-group-count
- **Add notification policies, filtered notifications and notification requests** (#29366, #29529, #29433, #29565, #29567, #29572, #29575, #29588, #29646, #29652, #29658, #29666, #29693, #29699, #29737, #29706, #29570, #29752, #29810, #29826, #30114, #30251, #30559, #29868, #31008, #31011, #30996, #31149, #31220, #31222, #31225, #31242, #31262, #31250, #31273, #31310, #31316, #31322, #31329, #31324, #31331, #31343, #31342, #31309, #31358, #31378, #31406, #31256, #31456, #31419, #31457, #31508, #31540, and #31541 by @ClearlyClaire, @Gargron, @TheEssem, @mgmn, @oneiros, and @renchap)\
  The old “Block notifications from non-followers”, “Block notifications from people you don't follow” and “Block direct messages from people you don't follow” notification settings have been replaced by a new set of settings found directly in the notification column.\
  You can now separately filter or drop notifications from people you don't follow, people who don't follow you, accounts created within the past 30 days, as well as unsolicited private mentions, and accounts limited by the moderation.\
  Instead of being outright dropped, notifications that you chose to filter are put in a separate “Filtered notifications” box that you can review separately without it clogging your main notifications.\
  This adds the following REST API endpoints:

  - `GET /api/v2/notifications/policy`: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/notifications/#get-policy
  - `PATCH /api/v2/notifications/policy`: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/notifications/#update-the-filtering-policy-for-notifications
  - `GET /api/v1/notifications/requests`: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/notifications/#get-requests
  - `GET /api/v1/notifications/requests/:id`: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/notifications/#get-one-request
  - `POST /api/v1/notifications/requests/:id/accept`: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/notifications/#accept-request
  - `POST /api/v1/notifications/requests/:id/dismiss`: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/notifications/#dismiss-request
  - `POST /api/v1/notifications/requests/accept`: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/notifications/#accept-multiple-requests
  - `POST /api/v1/notifications/requests/dismiss`: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/notifications/#dismiss-multiple-requests
  - `GET /api/v1/notifications/requests/merged`: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/notifications/#requests-merged

  In addition, accepting one or more notification requests generates a new streaming event:

  - `notifications_merged`: an event of this type indicates accepted notification requests have finished merging, and the notifications list should be refreshed

- **Add notifications of severed relationships** (#27511, #29665, #29668, #29670, #29700, #29714, #29712, and #29731 by @ClearlyClaire and @Gargron)\
  Notify local users when they lose relationships as a result of a local moderator blocking a remote account or server, allowing the affected user to retrieve the list of broken relationships.\
  Note that this does not notify remote users.\
  This adds the `severed_relationships` notification type to the REST API and streaming, with a new [`relationship_severance_event` attribute](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Notification/#relationship_severance_event).
- **Add hover cards in web UI** (#30754, #30864, #30850, #30879, #30928, #30949, #30948, #30931, and #31300 by @ClearlyClaire, @Gargron, and @renchap)\
  Hovering over an avatar or username will now display a hover card with the first two lines of the user's description and their first two profile fields.\
  This can be disabled in the “Animations and accessibility” section of the preferences.
- **Add "system" theme setting (light/dark theme depending on user system preference)** (#29748, #29553, #29795, #29918, #30839, and #30861 by @nshki, @ErikUden, @mjankowski, @renchap, and @vmstan)\
  Add a “system” theme that automatically switch between default dark and light themes depending on the user's system preferences.\
  Also changes the default server theme to this new “system” theme so that automatic theme selection happens even when logged out.
- **Add timeline of public posts about a trending link** (#30381 and #30840 by @Gargron)\
  You can now see public posts mentioning currently-trending articles from people who have opted into discovery features.\
  This adds a new REST API endpoint: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/timelines/#link
- **Add author highlight for news articles whose authors are on the fediverse** (#30398, #30670, #30521, and #30846 by @Gargron)\
  This adds a mechanism to [highlight the author of news articles](https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/highlighting-journalism-on-mastodon/) shared on Mastodon.\
  Articles hosted outside the fediverse can indicate a fediverse author with a meta tag:
  ```html
  <meta name="fediverse:creator" content="username@domain" />
  ```
  On the API side, this is represented by a new `authors` attribute to the `PreviewCard` entity: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/PreviewCard/#authors\
  Note that this feature is still work in progress and the tagging format and verification mechanisms may change in future releases.
- **Add in-app notifications for moderation actions and warnings** (#30065, #30082, and #30081 by @ClearlyClaire)\
  In addition to email notifications, also notify users of moderation actions or warnings against them directly within the app, so they are less likely to miss important communication from their moderators.\
  This adds the `moderation_warning` notification type to the REST API and streaming, with a new [`moderation_warning` attribute](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Notification/#moderation_warning).
- **Add domain information to profiles in web UI** (#29602 by @Gargron)\
  Clicking the domain of a user in their profile will now open a tooltip with a short explanation about servers and federation.
- Add ability to reorder uploaded media before posting in web UI (#28456 by @Gargron)
- Add moderation interface for searching hashtags (#30880 by @ThisIsMissEm)
- Add ability for admins to configure instance favicon and logo (#30040, #30208, #30259, #30375, #30734, #31016, and #30205 by @ClearlyClaire, @FawazFarid, @JasonPunyon, @mgmn, and @renchap)\
  This is also exposed through the REST API: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Instance/#icon
- Add `api_versions` to `/api/v2/instance` (#31354 by @ClearlyClaire)\
  Add API version number to make it easier for clients to detect compatible features going forward.\
  See API documentation at https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Instance/#api-versions
- Add recent audit log entries in federation moderation interface (#27386 by @ThisIsMissEm)
- Add profile setup to onboarding in web UI (#27829, #27876, and #28453 by @Gargron)
- Add prominent share/copy button on profiles in web UI (#27865 and #27889 by @ClearlyClaire and @Gargron)
- Add optional hints for server rules (#29539 and #29758 by @ClearlyClaire and @Gargron)\
  Server rules can now be broken into a short rule name and a longer explanation of the rule.\
  This adds a new [`hint` attribute](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Rule/#hint) to `Rule` entities in the REST API.
- Add support for PKCE in OAuth flow (#31129 by @ThisIsMissEm)
- Add CDN cache busting on media deletion (#31353 and #31414 by @ClearlyClaire and @tribela)

- Add lang attribute on preview card title (#31303 by @c960657)
- Add check for `Content-Length` in `ResponseWithLimitAdapter` (#31285 by @c960657)
- Add `Accept-Language` header to fetch preview cards in the server's default language (#31232 by @c960657)
- Add support for PKCE Extension in OmniAuth OIDC through the `OIDC_USE_PKCE` environment variable (#31131 by @ThisIsMissEm)
- Add API endpoints for unread notifications count (#31191 by @ClearlyClaire)\
  This adds the following REST API endpoints:
  - `GET /api/v1/notifications/unread_count`: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/notifications/#unread-count
- Add `/` keyboard shortcut to focus the search field (#29921 by @ClearlyClaire)
- Add button to view the Hashtag on the instance from Hashtags in Moderation UI (#31533 by @ThisIsMissEm)
- Add list of pending releases directly in mail notifications for version updates (#29436 and #30035 by @ClearlyClaire)
- Add “Appeals” link under “Moderation” navigation category in moderation interface (#31071 by @ThisIsMissEm)
- Add badge on account card in report moderation interface when account is already suspended (#29592 by @ClearlyClaire)
- Add admin comments directly to the `admin/instances` page (#29240 by @tribela)
- Add ability to require approval when users sign up using specific email domains (#28468, #28732, #28607, and #28608 by @ClearlyClaire)

- Add Elasticsearch index size, ffmpeg and ImageMagick versions to the admin dashboard (#27301, #30710, #31130, and #30845 by @vmstan)
- Add `MASTODON_SIDEKIQ_READY_FILENAME` environment variable to use a file for Sidekiq to signal it is ready to process jobs (#30971 and #30988 by @renchap)\
  In the official Docker image, this is set to `sidekiq_process_has_started_and_will_begin_processing_jobs` so that Sidekiq will touch `tmp/sidekiq_process_has_started_and_will_begin_processing_jobs` to signal readiness.
- Add `S3_RETRY_LIMIT` environment variable to make S3 retries configurable (#23215 by @smiba)
- Add `S3_KEY_PREFIX` environment variable (#30181 by @S0yKaf)
- Add support for multiple `redirect_uris` when creating OAuth 2.0 Applications (#29192 by @ThisIsMissEm)

- Add Kashubian, Pennsylvania Dutch, Vai, Jawi Malay, Mohawk and Low German to posting languages (#26024, #26634, #27136, #29098, #27115, and #27434 by @EngineerDali, @HelgeKrueger, and @gunchleoc)
- Add validations to `Web::PushSubscription` (#30540 and #30542 by @ThisIsMissEm)
- Add option to use native Ruby driver for Redis through `REDIS_DRIVER=ruby` (#30717 by @vmstan)
- Add support for libvips in addition to ImageMagick (#30090, #30590, #30597, #30632, #30857, #30869, and #30858 by @ClearlyClaire, @Gargron, and @mjankowski)\
  Server admins can now use libvips as a faster and lighter alternative to ImageMagick for processing user-uploaded images.\
  This requires libvips 8.13 or newer, and needs to be enabled with `MASTODON_USE_LIBVIPS=true`.\
  This is enabled by default in the official Docker images, and is intended to completely replace ImageMagick in the future.
- Add active animation to header settings button (#30221, #30307, and #30388 by @daudix)
- Add OpenTelemetry instrumentation (#30130, #30322, #30353, and #30350 by @julianocosta89, @renchap, and @robbkidd)\
  See https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/config/#otel for documentation
- Add API to get multiple accounts and statuses (#27871 and #30465 by @ClearlyClaire)\
  This adds `GET /api/v1/accounts` and `GET /api/v1/statuses` to the REST API, see https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/accounts/#index and https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/statuses/#index
- Add redirection back to previous page after site upload deletion (#30141 by @FawazFarid)
- Add RFC8414 OAuth 2.0 server metadata (#29191 by @ThisIsMissEm)
- Add loading indicator and empty result message to advanced interface search (#30085 by @ClearlyClaire)

- Add diagnostic message for failure during CLI search deploy (#29462 by @mjankowski)
- Add pagination `Link` headers on API accounts/statuses when pinned true (#29442 by @mjankowski)
- Add support for specifying custom CA cert for Elasticsearch through `ES_CA_FILE` (#29122 and #29147 by @ClearlyClaire)
- Add groundwork for annual reports for accounts (#28693 by @Gargron)\
  This lays the groundwork for a “year-in-review”/“wrapped” style report for local users, but is currently not in use.
- Add notification email on invalid second authenticator (#28822 by @ClearlyClaire)
- Add new emojis from `jdecked/twemoji` 15.0 (#28404 by @TheEssem)
- Add configurable error handling in attachment batch deletion (#28184 by @vmstan)\
  This makes the S3 batch size configurable through the `S3_BATCH_DELETE_LIMIT` environment variable (defaults to 1000), and adds some retry logic, configurable through the `S3_BATCH_DELETE_RETRY` environment variable (defaults to 3).
- Add VAPID public key to instance serializer (#28006 by @ThisIsMissEm)
- Add `nodeName` and `nodeDescription` to nodeinfo `metadata` (#28079 by @6543)

- Add variable delay before link verification of remote account links (#27351 by @ClearlyClaire)
- Add PWA shortcut to `/explore` page (#27235 by @jake-anto)

### Changed

- **Change icons throughout the web interface** (#27385, #27539, #27555, #27579, #27700, #27817, #28519, #28709, #28064, #28775, #28780, #27924, #29294, #29395, #29537, #29569, #29610, #29612, #29649, #29844, #27780, #30974, #30963, #30962, #30961, #31362, #31363, #31359, #31371, #31360, #31512, #31511, and #31525 by @ClearlyClaire, @Gargron, @arbolitoloco1, @mjankowski, @nclm, @renchap, @ronilaukkarinen, and @zunda)\
  This changes all the interface icons from FontAwesome to Material Symbols for a more modern look, consistent with the official Mastodon Android app.\
  In addition, better care is given to pixel alignment, and icon variants are used to better highlight active/inactive state.
- **Change design of compose form in web UI** (#28119, #29059, #29248, #29372, #29384, #29417, #29456, #29406, #29651, and #29659 by @ClearlyClaire, @Gargron, @eai04191, @hinaloe, and @ronilaukkarinen)\
  The compose form has been completely redesigned for a more modern and consistent look, as well as spelling out the chosen privacy setting and language name at all times.\
  As part of this, the “Unlisted” privacy setting has been renamed to “Quiet public”.
- **Change design of confirmation modals in the web UI** (#29576, #29614, #29640, #29644, #30131, #30884, and #31399 by @ClearlyClaire, @Gargron, and @tribela)\
  The mute, block, and domain block confirmation modals have been completely redesigned to be clearer and include more detailed information on the action to be performed.\
  They also have a more modern and consistent design, along with other confirmation modals in the application.
- **Change colors throughout the web UI** (#29522, #29584, #29653, #29779, #29803, #29809, #29808, #29828, #31034, #31168, #31266, #31348, #31349, #31361, and #31510 by @ClearlyClaire, @Gargron, @renchap, and @vmstan)
- **Change onboarding prompt to follow suggestions carousel in web UI** (#28878 and #29272 by @Gargron)
- **Change email templates** (#28416, #28755, #28814, #29064, #28883, #29470, #29607, #29761, #29760, and #29879 by @ClearlyClaire, @Gargron, @hteumeuleu, and @mjankowski)\
  All emails to end-users have been completely redesigned with a fresh new look, providing more information while making them easier to read and keeping maximum compatibility across mail clients.
- **Change follow recommendations algorithm** (#28314, #28433, #29017, #29108, #29306, #29550, #29619, and #31474 by @ClearlyClaire, @Gargron, @kernal053, @mjankowski, and @wheatear-dev)\
  This replaces the “past interactions” recommendation algorithm with a “friends of friends” algorithm that suggests accounts followed by people you follow, and a “similar profiles” algorithm that suggests accounts with a profile similar to your most recent follows.\
  In addition, the implementation has been significantly reworked, and all follow recommendations are now dismissable.\
  This change deprecates the `source` attribute in `Suggestion` entities in the REST API, and replaces it with the new [`sources` attribute](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Suggestion/#sources).
- Change account search algorithm (#30803 by @Gargron)
- **Change streaming server to use its own dependencies and its own docker image** (#24702, #27967, #26850, #28112, #28115, #28137, #28138, #28497, #28548, and #30795 by @TheEssem, @ThisIsMissEm, @jippi, @timetinytim, and @vmstan)\
  In order to reduce the amount of runtime dependencies, the streaming server has been moved into a separate package and Docker image.\
  The `mastodon` image does not contain the streaming server anymore, as it has been moved to its own `mastodon-streaming` image.\
  Administrators may need to update their setup accordingly.
- Change how content warnings and filters are displayed in web UI (#31365 by @Gargron)
- Change Web UI to allow viewing and severing relationships with suspended accounts (#27667 by @ClearlyClaire)\
  This also adds a `with_suspended` parameter to `GET /api/v1/accounts/relationships` in the REST API.
- Change avatars border radius (#31390 by @renchap)
- Change counters to be displayed on profile timelines in web UI (#30525 by @Gargron)
- Change disabled buttons color in light mode to make the difference more visible (#30998 by @renchap)
- Change design of people tab on explore in web UI (#30059 by @Gargron)
- Change sidebar text in web UI (#30696 by @Gargron)
- Change "Follow" to "Follow back" and "Mutual" when appropriate in web UI (#28452 and #28465 by @Gargron and @renchap)
- Change media to be hidden/blurred by default in report modal (#28522 by @ClearlyClaire)
- Change order of the "muting" and "blocking" list options in “Data Exports” (#26088 by @fixermark)
- Change admin and moderation notes character limit from 500 to 2000 characters (#30288 by @ThisIsMissEm)
- Change mute options to be in dropdown on muted users list in web UI (#30049 and #31315 by @ClearlyClaire and @Gargron)
- Change out-of-band hashtags design in web UI (#29732 by @Gargron)
- Change design of metadata underneath detailed posts in web UI (#29585, #29605, and #29648 by @ClearlyClaire and @Gargron)
- Change action button to be last on profiles in web UI (#29533 and #29923 by @ClearlyClaire and @Gargron)
- Change confirmation prompts in trending moderation interface to be more specific (#19626 by @tribela)
- Change “Trends” moderation menu to “Recommendations & Trends” and move follow recommendations there (#31292 by @ThisIsMissEm)
- Change irrelevant fields in account cleanup settings to be disabled unless automatic cleanup is enabled (#26562 by @c960657)
- Change dropdown menu icon to not be replaced by close icon when open in web UI (#29532 by @Gargron)
- Change back button to always appear in advanced web UI (#29551 and #29669 by @Gargron)
- Change border of active compose field search inputs (#29832 and #29839 by @vmstan)
- Change link detection to allow `@` at the end of an URL (#31124 by @adamniedzielski)
- Change User-Agent to use Mastodon as the product, and http.rb as platform details (#31192 by @ClearlyClaire)
- Change layout and wording of the Content Retention server settings page (#27733 by @vmstan)
- Change unconfirmed users to be kept for one week instead of two days (#30285 by @renchap)
- Change maximum page size for Admin Domain Management APIs from 200 to 500 (#31253 by @ThisIsMissEm)
- Change database pool size to default to Sidekiq concurrency settings in Sidekiq processes (#26488 by @sinoru)
- Change alt text to empty string for avatars (#21875 by @jasminjohal)
- Change Docker images to use custom-built libvips and ffmpeg (#30571, #30569, and #31498 by @vmstan)
- Change external links in the admin audit log to plain text or local administration pages (#27139 and #27150 by @ClearlyClaire and @ThisIsMissEm)
- Change YJIT to be enabled when available (#30310 and #27283 by @ClearlyClaire and @mjankowski)\
  Enable Ruby's built-in just-in-time compiler. This improves performances substantially, at the cost of a slightly increased memory usage.
- Change `.env` file loading from deprecated `dotenv-rails` gem to `dotenv` gem (#29173 and #30121 by @mjankowski)\
  This should have no effect except in the unlikely case an environment variable included a newline.
- Change “Panjabi” language name to the more common spelling “Punjabi” (#27117 by @gunchleoc)
- Change encryption of OTP secrets to use ActiveRecord Encryption (#29831, #28325, #30151, #30202, #30340, and #30344 by @ClearlyClaire and @mjankowski)\
  This requires a manual step from administrators of existing servers. Indeed, they need to generate new secrets, which can be done using `bundle exec rails db:encryption:init`.\
  Furthermore, there is a risk that the introduced migration fails if the server was misconfigured in the past. If that happens, the migration error will include the relevant information.
- Change `/api/v1/announcements` to return regular `Status` entities (#26736 by @ClearlyClaire)
- Change imports to convert case-insensitive fields to lowercase (#29739 and #29740 by @ThisIsMissEm)
- Change stats in the admin interface to be inclusive of the full selected range, from beginning of day to end of day (#29416 and #29841 by @mjankowski)
- Change materialized views to be refreshed concurrently to avoid locks (#29015 by @Gargron)
- Change compose form to use server-provided post character and poll options limits (#28928 and #29490 by @ClearlyClaire and @renchap)
- Change streaming server logging from `npmlog` to `pino` and `pino-http` (#27828 by @ThisIsMissEm)\
  This changes the Mastodon streaming server log format, so this might be considered a breaking change if you were parsing the logs.
- Change media “ALT” label to use a specific CSS class (#28777 by @ClearlyClaire)
- Change streaming API host to not be overridden to localhost in development mode (#28557 by @ClearlyClaire)
- Change cookie rotator to use SHA1 digest for new cookies (#27392 by @ClearlyClaire)\
  Note that this requires that no pre-4.2.0 Mastodon web server is running when this code is deployed, as those would not understand the new cookies.\
  Therefore, zero-downtime updates are only supported if you're coming from 4.2.0 or newer. If you want to skip Mastodon 4.2, you will need to completely stop Mastodon services before updating.
- Change preview card deletes to be done using batch method (#28183 by @vmstan)
- Change `img-src` and `media-src` CSP directives to not include `https:` (#28025 and #28561 by @ClearlyClaire)
- Change self-destruct procedure (#26439, #29049, and #29420 by @ClearlyClaire and @zunda)\
  Instead of enqueuing deletion jobs immediately, `tootctl self-destruct` now outputs a value for the `SELF_DESTRUCT` environment variable, which puts a server in self-destruct mode, processing deletions in the background, while giving users access to their export archives.

### Removed

- Remove StatsD integration (replaced by OpenTelemetry) (#30240 by @mjankowski)
- Remove `CacheBuster` default options (#30718 by @mjankowski)
- Remove home marker updates from the Web UI (#22721 by @davbeck)\
  The web interface was unconditionally updating the home marker to the most recent received post, discarding any value set by other clients, thus making the feature unreliable.
- Remove support for Ruby 3.0 (reaching EOL) (#29702 by @mjankowski)
- Remove setting for unfollow confirmation modal (#29373 by @ClearlyClaire)\
  Instead, the unfollow confirmation modal will always be displayed.
- Remove support for Capistrano (#27295 and #30009 by @mjankowski and @renchap)

### Security

## [4.2.8] - 2024-02-23

### Added

- Add hourly task to automatically require approval for new registrations in the absence of moderators ([ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/29318), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/29355))
  In order to prevent future abandoned Mastodon servers from being used for spam, harassment and other malicious activity, Mastodon will now automatically switch new user registrations to require moderator approval whenever they are left open and no activity (including non-moderation actions from apps) from any logged-in user with permission to access moderation reports has been detected in a full week.
  When this happens, users with the permission to change server settings will receive an email notification.
  This feature is disabled when `EMAIL_DOMAIN_ALLOWLIST` is used, and can also be disabled with `DISABLE_AUTOMATIC_SWITCHING_TO_APPROVED_REGISTRATIONS=true`.

### Changed

- Change registrations to be closed by default on new installations ([ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/29280))
  If you are running a server and never changed your registrations mode from the default, updating will automatically close your registrations.
  Simply re-enable them through the administration interface or using `tootctl settings registrations open` if you want to enable them again.

### Fixed

- Fix processing of remote ActivityPub actors making use of `Link` objects as `Image` `url` ([ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/29335))
- Fix link verifications when page size exceeds 1MB ([ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/29358))

- Fix new installs by upgrading to the latest release of the `nsa` gem, instead of a no longer existing commit ([mjankowski](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/29065))

### Security

- Fix insufficient checking of remote posts ([GHSA-jhrq-qvrm-qr36](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/security/advisories/GHSA-jhrq-qvrm-qr36))

## [4.2.6] - 2024-02-14

### Security

- Update the `sidekiq-unique-jobs` dependency (see [GHSA-cmh9-rx85-xj38](https://github.com/mhenrixon/sidekiq-unique-jobs/security/advisories/GHSA-cmh9-rx85-xj38))
  In addition, we have disabled the web interface for `sidekiq-unique-jobs` out of caution.
  If you need it, you can re-enable it by setting `ENABLE_SIDEKIQ_UNIQUE_JOBS_UI=true`.
  If you only need to clear all locks, you can now use `bundle exec rake sidekiq_unique_jobs:delete_all_locks`.
- Update the `nokogiri` dependency (see [GHSA-xc9x-jj77-9p9j](https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/security/advisories/GHSA-xc9x-jj77-9p9j))
- Disable administrative Doorkeeper routes ([ThisIsMissEm](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/29187))
- Fix ongoing streaming sessions not being invalidated when applications get deleted in some cases ([GHSA-7w3c-p9j8-mq3x](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/security/advisories/GHSA-7w3c-p9j8-mq3x))
  In some rare cases, the streaming server was not notified of access tokens revocation on application deletion.
- Change external authentication behavior to never reattach a new identity to an existing user by default ([GHSA-vm39-j3vx-pch3](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/security/advisories/GHSA-vm39-j3vx-pch3))
  Up until now, Mastodon has allowed new identities from external authentication providers to attach to an existing local user based on their verified e-mail address.
  This allowed upgrading users from a database-stored password to an external authentication provider, or move from one authentication provider to another.
  However, this behavior may be unexpected, and means that when multiple authentication providers are configured, the overall security would be that of the least secure authentication provider.
  For these reasons, this behavior is now locked under the `ALLOW_UNSAFE_AUTH_PROVIDER_REATTACH` environment variable.
  In addition, regardless of this environment variable, Mastodon will refuse to attach two identities from the same authentication provider to the same account.

## [4.2.5] - 2024-02-01

### Security

- Fix insufficient origin validation (CVE-2024-23832, [GHSA-3fjr-858r-92rw](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/security/advisories/GHSA-3fjr-858r-92rw))

## [4.2.0] - 2023-09-21

The following changelog entries focus on changes visible to users, administrators, client developers or federated software developers, but there has also been a lot of code modernization, refactoring, and tooling work, in particular by [@danielmbrasil](https://github.com/danielmbrasil), [@mjankowski](https://github.com/mjankowski), [@nschonni](https://github.com/nschonni), [@renchap](https://github.com/renchap), and [@takayamaki](https://github.com/takayamaki).

### Added

- **Add full-text search of opted-in public posts and rework search operators** ([Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26485), [jsgoldstein](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26344), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26657), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26650), [jsgoldstein](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26659), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26660), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26663), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26688), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26689), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26686), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26687), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26692), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26697), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26699), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26701), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26710), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26739), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26754), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26662), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26755), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26781), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26782), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26760), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26756), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26784), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26807), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26835), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26847), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26834), [arbolitoloco1](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26893), [tribela](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26896), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26927), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26959), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/27014))
  This introduces a new `public_statuses` Elasticsearch index for public posts by users who have opted in to their posts being searchable (`toot#indexable` flag).
  This also revisits the other indexes to provide more useful indexing, and adds new search operators such as `from:me`, `before:2022-11-01`, `after:2022-11-01`, `during:2022-11-01`, `language:fr`, `has:poll`, or `in:library` (for searching only in posts you have written or interacted with).
  Results are now ordered chronologically.
- **Add admin notifications for new Mastodon versions** ([ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26582))
  This is done by querying `https://api.joinmastodon.org/update-check` every 30 minutes in a background job.
  That URL can be changed using the `UPDATE_CHECK_URL` environment variable, and the feature outright disabled by setting that variable to an empty string (`UPDATE_CHECK_URL=`).
- **Add “Privacy and reach” tab in profile settings** ([Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26484), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26508))
  This reorganized scattered privacy and reach settings to a single place, as well as improve their wording.
- **Add display of out-of-band hashtags in the web interface** ([Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26492), [arbolitoloco1](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26497), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26506), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26525), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26606), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26666), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26960))
- **Add role badges to the web interface** ([ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25649), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26281))
- **Add ability to pick domains to forward reports to using the `forward_to_domains` parameter in `POST /api/v1/reports`** ([ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25866), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26636))
  The `forward_to_domains` REST API parameter is a list of strings. If it is empty or omitted, the previous behavior is maintained.
  The `forward` parameter still needs to be set for `forward_to_domains` to be taken into account.
  The forwarded-to domains can only include that of the original author and people being replied to.
- **Add forwarding of reported replies to servers being replied to** ([Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25341), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26189))
- Add `ONE_CLICK_SSO_LOGIN` environment variable to directly link to the Single-Sign On provider if there is only one sign up method available ([CSDUMMI](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26083), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26368), [CSDUMMI](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26857), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26901))
- **Add webhook templating** ([Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/23289))
- **Add webhooks for local `status.created`, `status.updated`, `account.updated` and `report.updated`** ([VyrCossont](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/24133), [VyrCossont](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/24243), [VyrCossont](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/24211))

- **Change translation feature to cover Content Warnings, poll options and media descriptions** ([c960657](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/24175), [S-H-GAMELINKS](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25251), [c960657](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26168), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26452))
- **Change account search to match by text when opted-in** ([jsgoldstein](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25599), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26378))
- **Change import feature to be clearer, less error-prone and more reliable** ([ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/21054), [mgmn](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/24874))
- **Change local and federated timelines to be tabs of a single “Live feeds” column** ([ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25641), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25683), [mgmn](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25694), [Plastikmensch](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26247), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26633))
- **Change user archive export to be faster and more reliable, and export `.zip` archives instead of `.tar.gz` ones** ([ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/23360), [TheEssem](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25034))
- **Change `mastodon-streaming` systemd unit files to be templated** ([e-nomem](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/24751))
- **Change `statsd` integration to disable sidekiq metrics by default** ([mjankowski](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25265), [mjankowski](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25336), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26310))
  This deprecates `statsd` support and disables the sidekiq integration unless `STATSD_SIDEKIQ` is set to `true`.
  This is because the `nsa` gem is unmaintained, and its sidekiq integration is known to add very significant overhead.
  Later versions of Mastodon will have other ways to get the same metrics.
- **Change replica support to native Rails adapter** ([krainboltgreene](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25693), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25849), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25874), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25851), [Gargron](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25977), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26074), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26326), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26386), [ClearlyClaire](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26856))
  This is a breaking change, dropping `makara` support, and requiring you to update your database configuration if you are using replicas.
  To tell Mastodon to use a read replica, you can either set the `REPLICA_DB_NAME` environment variable (along with `REPLICA_DB_USER`, `REPLICA_DB_PASS`, `REPLICA_DB_HOST`, and `REPLICA_DB_PORT`, if they differ from the primary database), or the `REPLICA_DATABASE_URL` environment variable if your configuration is based on `DATABASE_URL`.
