v0.15.0

Major Features

Newsletters / subscribe by email (#478)

Now readers can subscribe to receive blog posts via email! Connect an email service to enable email subscriptions and automated password resets (#777). Admins can enable this with the new [email] section in their configuration file -- see the documentation for instructions on setting this up.

Note: today, WriteFreely only supports Mailgun as an email service -- but our next release will support plain SMTP, so you can use any provider you want to.

View fediverse followers and email subscribers (#775)

For instances with federation enabled, authors can now privately see who is following them from the fediverse via the new Subscribers page. This page also shows everyone subscribed to updates via email, if enabled.

v0.13.0

e983c45

v0.13.0

v0.13

Major Features

Classic editor (T727)

If plain text and Markdown aren't your thing, now you can get a more "classic" writing experience with the Classic editor! This features more of a What You See Is What You Get interface that doesn't require the learning curve of Markdown. However, behind the scenes, posts are still saved as Markdown, so you can always switch between the Classic and standard editor. Admins can enable this option by setting editor = classic in the [app] config section.

Gopher Support (T559)

Give your audience a old-school, lightweight way to read posts on your WriteFreely instance, via the Gopher protocol! Enable it with the new gopher_port config value in the [server] section. When it’s enabled, multi-user instances will show all Public blogs at gopher://[host]:[gopher_port]/.

Gitea and Generic OAuth Provider Support (#293, #317, #405)

We’ve added more ways for users to authenticate with your WriteFreely instance, via Gitea or any generic OAuth 2.0 provider! Our generic OAuth provider support in particular gives you the chance to use WriteFreely alongside a range of applications that hold your users, from Mastodon to Nextcloud to Keycloak.

Web Monetization Support (T773)

Writers can now accept micropayments for their work via the proposed Web Monetization standard, and even publish exclusive content behind a paywall. Admins can enable this by setting monetization = true in the [app] section of their config, or changing the setting in their admin panel. This is just the start as we look to give readers more ways to financially support writers — read more about this on the Write.as blog.

ActivityPub Notes (#220)

Now, WriteFreely is more friendly to microblogs! If a post doesn’t have a double-line-break in it, it’ll be sent to the fediverse as a Note, rather than an Article. If you’d prefer to always send Notes, admins can set notes_only = true in the [app] config section.

Account deletion (T319)

It’s now easy for users and admins to quickly delete account data from WriteFreely via the web! Admins can access this option from their Admin Dashboard, and users can access it from their Account Settings page, if admins have configured Open Account Deletions (via the Dashboard or config file: open_deletion = true under the [app] section).

Post Signatures (T582)

This enables users to add a signature to all blog posts, and update it from a single location (the blog's Customize page).

Support AP-style mentions of centralized social media accounts (#319)

Major Features

ActivityPub Mentions (T627)

Enable more interaction with your posts by mentioning users on Mastodon, Pleroma, and other ActivityPub platforms! Users on instances with federation enabled can now insert @[email protected] to mention someone. You might use this to write a long response to someone in the fediverse, or even mention your own microblogging account, so that replies to your blog post also notify you there, where you can continue the conversation.

New Admin Dashboard (T694)

We've redesigned the admin dashboard to be a little easier to navigate, and generally more user friendly. It now includes an overview of stats for your instance, dedicated pages for app settings and monitoring, and more details on what each configuration option does. We've also made it easier for admins to get to the "Invite people" page.

OAuth 2.0 Support (#225)

Now you can authenticate with your WriteFreely instance via OAuth! This is perfect for WriteFreely communities that are set up to accompany other platforms. We support three providers so far: GitLab, Slack, and Write.as.

Reader Filter Updates (#269)

Now the Reader will show the most recent 250 public posts, instead of only the last three months of public posts. This should be much more fitting for most WriteFreely instances.

Plain Text Import

Now you can import plain text files to publish them as posts on WriteFreely.

Upgrading from v0.3.0 or later

Download the latest release for your operating system, from the files below. Then follow these steps:

Stop running your writefreely service
Replace all files in your installation except the keys directory with the files from the archive
Start your writefreely service again.

Now make sure your database is backed up, and migrate it with the steps below.

If you're running MariaDB, run this query on your WriteFreely database (fixes #302):

ALTER DATABASE writefreely CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci;

Finally, run this command to update your database schema:

writefreely db migrate

No additional steps are needed to upgrade from v0.3.0 or later. Follow the instructions in each previous release if you're upgrading from an earlier version.
