The Zot Manifesto
You have the right to a permanent internet identity which is not associated with what server you are currently using and cannot be taken away from you by anybody, ever.
You have the right to refuse/reject or possibly moderate comments on your posts by anybody you don't know.
You also have the right to not allow them to comment on your posts in the first place, until such time as they have earned your trust.
You have the right to show your photos and videos to anybody you desire and also NOT show them to anybody you desire.
If your software does not implement these rights, you have the right to fix it or replace it.

The Earth Manifesto
The earth is your mother. She gave you life. Respect her or she will take it away.
Silence is complicity. Speak.
Those who are leading us to destruction can be stopped.
7.5 billion people cannot be stopped.

@Indio and I have had a number of long conversations and despite all the best intentions he has decided not to continue with Osada. The hurdles appear to be mostly tribal, not technical; even though there is still no actual spec for OcapPub on the horizon.

But I'm not writing this to bring you bad news.

If you're looking for basic Zot6/ActivityPub compatibility and don't want to open your stream to spammers and dickpics, you can git pull at any time.

Hubzilla 4.4 Released!
Another exciting release with new additions, some bug fixes and overall improvements.

The calendar app now has clickable week/day numbers. Clicking the number will open the appropriate week/day view. Events can easily be adjusted by using the drag and drop functionality. It is now possible to enter the date and time in different formats if this method of setting the event start and end time is preferred. Opengraph meta has been added to the channel pages. Search engines will now hopefully provide better infos about channels.

The twitter addon has been improved to better render posts. The pubcrawl addon, which provides the activitypub protocol, has received new features (thread completion, delete activity) and some bug fixes. The queueworker addon has been refactored for better efficiency. Also the photocache addon has been improved.

Under the hood, besides numerous bugfixes, we started the first little steps towards making zot6 the primary protocol for Hubzilla.

A detailed changelog can be found here.

THANK YOU! to all contributors and everybody who is supporting Hubzilla in other ways.

Hubzilla 4.2 Released!
Some of the most notable changes in Hubzilla 4.2 are

Calendar App
The Events and CalDAV frontends have been merged and streamlined. The Events and CalDAV apps have been deprecated in favour of the Calendar app which now comprehends both.

Reply to comments
If the feature is enabled from the conversation tools (item drop down menu), it is now possible to directly reply to comments. The timeline view will remain flattened in the Hubzilla stream. In Friendica and Mastodon this kind of comments will appear beneath the commented comment.

Administration
An admin option to store photo thumbnails on disk instead of DB has been implemented. This will reduce DB load and size. Also the DB upgrade tool has been improved to provide more info (source code of failed updates) in case of failure.

Federation
Activitypub federation has been improved. We will now deal with profile changes on the fly with platforms that support that kind of messages. Also relaying of comments to activitypub servers has been improved. especially for Friendica and Mastodon which support comment relaying.

Usability
It is now possibly to reset the profile photo to its default. Also the possibility to remove cover photos has been implemented.

A detailed changelog can be found here.

Hubzilla 4.0 Released!
After roughly 4 months of development Hubzilla 4.0 is ready to be released into the wild. We have implemented the zot6 protocol with major changes compared to the legacy zot version:

Using direct push transfer instead of the notify/pickup delivery model.
Inclusion of ActivityStreams (JSON-LD) as a supported (primary) serialisation.
Dropping the requirements for implementations to support secondary serialisations.
Moving service discovery to "Accept-header" based service endpoints where different representations can be selected by modification of the HTTPS request accept header.
Separation of the portable-id from the signature algorithm used.

The remaining addons have been converted into addon apps. The addon settings are now removed and the features can now be installed and configured via the apps interface. Besides that, some very interesting new addons have been added to the collection:

The photo cache addon provides the photo cache app which can be enabled per channel and increases anonymity in the world wide web. Public photos will be cached at your hub.
The queueworker addon (admin only) implements an enhanced queue worker. This is only important for site admins. The addon is still marked experimental but does a pretty good job already. It has the potential to improve queue handling especially for big sites.
The gallery addon provides the gallery app which has been enhanced and has now extended functionality: photos in posts/comments can now be viewed in the photo viewer directly from the stream and and images at the beginning of a post will be converted to an album.
The TOTP addon provides per channel two factor authentication using timebased one-time passwords.

Besides that we have implemented many usability enhancements and fixed reported (and not reported) bugs. Please refer to the changelog for a more detailed list of changes.

Developers: there is now a doxygen generated documentation at https://hubzilla.frama.io/core/

A big THANK YOU! to all developers, translators and everybody who is helping to improve Hubzilla with each release.

If you like what we do, please consider to support this project: https://salt.bountysource.com/teams/hubzilla

Howto Upgrade

IMPORTANT:

Hubzilla 4.0 requires PHP 7.1 or higher. Versions 7.2 or 7.3 are recommended.
HTTPS is now mandatory.

Due to major changes to the addons it is neccesary to follow this update procedure:

util/safemode on this will disable all enabled addons
util/udall the actual update which executes git pull for core and addon repos
There are several DB updates which can take a looong time (depending on DB size) to complete. Please be patient. If updates fail due to server timeout, you will need to apply the failed updates manually.
util/safemode off this enables the previously disabled addons again
Install the upgrade info addon (optional) - this will show some info about the upgrade to your community members

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

Start preparing NOW for Hubzilla 4.0!
Exiting changes are coming with Hubzilla 4.0! You won't want to miss out - and you'll want to be ready!

With the weekend approaching - it may be a good chance to set aside some time for some needed maintenance to prepare for Hubzilla 4.0.

Make sure PHP is up to date!

If you're one of those people to subscribe to the motto, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," this is a friendly warning that, "if you are running Hubzilla on PHP 5.x, things WILL break!"

Beginning with 4.0 (including the RC test), you will no longer be able to run Hubzilla on PHP 5.x.

It is imperative that you upgrade to PHP7 before installing Hubzilla 4.0.

PHP 7.2 and 7.3 are recommended.

See here for PHP's Support Calendar: https://secure.php.net/supported-versions.php

PHP 7.3 was recently released and various benchmarks give it a 10-15% performance boost over 7.2.

We'd LOVE to have you join in the release testing!

The more people involved, the more thoroughly everything can be tested before it's released!
