Clone channels & sync

Zotlabs|The Zot Community

Hi

Suppose I have a main channel with a gallery and a wiki, and a cloned channel.
Each time I add an image to the gallery or edit a page on the wiki, on the main channel, it's synched with the clone. Perfect.

But suppose now that the main channel is down.

What happen if I add an image or edit a wiki page on a cloned channel while main channel is down? Does it synch with others clones? Will it synch with the main channel when it is up?

Thanks

Does that mean if I let SSE deactivated because of the server problems I no longer get any notifications? Is that disabled by default?

Hubzilla 5.0 Released!

It has been a wild and fun development cycle with many challenges. Here is a brief summary of the most notable changes:

Zot6 Protocol
Zot6 has been implemented as the primary messaging protocol in Hubzilla. Most work in this development cycle has gone into this project. What you will notice is that the network field in your connections list will turn from zot to zot6 as soon as your contacts' hubs will be upgraded.

Direct messages
Direct messages are messages that are addressed to one or more single connections. They are accessible from your network stream. A direct messages filter has been added to the stream filters widget for quick access. The Mail app has been deprecated in favor of direct messages.

Mail app moved to addons
There is no concept of private mail in the zot6 protocol. If you require access to your legacy mail, you will need to ask your hub admin to install the mail addon. This will allow you to install the legacy Mail app.

Forums
The way we interact with forums has changed. To post to a forum you can now simply select a forum from the ACL selector.

Polls
Hubzilla now has support for polls with multiple options. This feature is compatible with activitypub polls and is available directly from the post editor. The vote feature has been deprecated in favor of polls.

Notifications
Notifications have been rewritten to implement server sent events. It is required to install the SSE addon to receive real time notifications. Also some useful new features were added.

Due to the upgrade to the zot6 protocol there are some drawbacks
- Sourced RSS feeds will not federate via zot6 unless the option "Resend posts with this channel as author" is selected. The authors are not valid actors.
- Anonymous comments will not federate via zot6. The authors are not valid actors.
- Community tagging has been disabled. It will be re-enabled when it is agreed upon how to implement it for compatibility with other projects.
- The chess addon has been moved to addons-unsupported until it will be ported to the ActivityStreams2 data format.
- Channel clones at hubs which are at Hubzilla version < 4.7.4 will be disconnected until the clone hubs will be updated.

For a more detailed changelog please have a look here.

A big THANK YOU! to all contributors and everybody who is supporting Hubzilla. Special thanks to @Funds privacy tech/open search which is supporting my work for Hubzilla.

How to upgrade?

- create a backup
- execute util/udall from the terminal
- make sure all DB updates (especially 1236) have been successfully applied
- execute php util/z6convert.php dry-run from the terminal for a dry run (no data will be modified with this option)
- execute php util/z6convert.php from the terminal (this will take a while...)

I'll be getting back to getting polls working on Zap. We've had the infrastructure partially built for years but I kind of got stuck trying to federate them between GNU-Social, ActivityPub, Diaspora, and traditional Zot - who all implemented them in completely incompatible ways. It's possible, but it adds so much complexity it isn't worth the effort involved. So to move forward I'm only trying to make them work on AP and Zot6 (which both use the same content serialisation under the hood).

TL;DR - We're changing the encoding of Events in Zap to more closely match the ActivityStreams specification. There may be minor compatibility issues with events between Zap and some other platforms on the short term. Currently this affects seamless federation of events and event RSVPs between Zap, Friendica, Hubzilla, and possibly the "hometown fork" of Mastodon.

Detail: In some earlier ActivityPub implementations receipt of a Create/Event activity *implied* an invitation to that activity and RSVP responses could be sent directly to the Create/Event activity. According to the ActivityStreams vocabulary specification, this isn't the correct way to do it; although this mechanism is being used by several platforms today. Going forward we will not send Create/Event at all, but only Invite/Event; although we will also accept events and RSVPs from platforms that still use the "implied Invite".

The work on Zap is complete and will be pushed to the dev branch momentarily. I'm currently working on a patch for Hubzilla over Zot6 and will also attempt to patch Hubzilla's ActivityPub Protocol plugin in the next several days. Whether or not Friendica changes this behaviour on their end is up to that project's developers. The hometown fork of Mastodon also supports implied events and the developer of that fork is aware of this work but I'm not certain of the current development status. So there is likely to be a period of time until the dust settles where seamless event and RSVP federation between these projects may be a bit unpredictable.

Hubzilla 4.6 Released!
Hubzilla 4.6 is the last major release of the version 4 series and brings some new features, many improvements and bugfixes. Here is an overview of the most notable changes:

Core: improved opengraph support for channels and articles
Core: due to security reasons PDFs will not be embedded by default anymore - admins can enable this feature if desired
Core: new translation: japanese
Core: limited inline SVG support via BBcode
Core: improved support for CDN/Infrastructure caching
Core: add connect button for non-zot networks which are not connected in current location
Core: add selected text as quote if replying via comment button
Core: add CardDAV/CalDAV autodiscovery
Pubcrawl: Improved compatibility with pixelfed
Cart: update paypal button to API v2
Workflow: new addon which provides basic issue tracker capability

Are you already looking forward to Hubzilla 5.0?
Hubzilla 5.0, which will probably be released in the first quarter of 2020 (depending on developer resources), will bring another batch of interesting changes. One of them is the rewrite of the notifications system to use server sent events instead of polling (this landed in development branch about two weeks ago). There is work being done to bring pinned posts to Hubzilla (this literally landed in development branch some hours ago). We are planing to switch to the zot6 protocol as the primary communication protocol for version 5.0 - there are still some issues to be resolved before we can make this step though.

As always we would like to say Thank You! to everybody who is contributing to this project in one way or the other.

In case you attended the RC testing, remember to git checkout master your repositories prior to the upgrade.

1. Execute util/udall from the web root (this will execute git pull for all repositories).
2. Install the upgrade info addon if you have not done so yet (optional). This will show info about the upgrade to your community members.
