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!

See @Mario Vavti's announcement: for details about how to help.

Hubzilla 4.0 - What's New?
Hubzilla 4.0RC has been released today. I guess it's time for an (incomplete) overview about what will be new in Hubzilla version 4.0:

Zot6 Implementation: Hubzilla 4.0 will be able to communicate via the zot6 protocol. This means that we can natively communicate with Zap and Osada.
Photo Cache Addon: This addon provides the Photo Cache App which can be enabled per channel and increases anonymity in the world wide web. Photos from outside the zot network will be cached at your Hub.
Queueworker Addon (admin): This addon 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.
Enhanced Gallery Addon: This addon provides the Gallery App. The new version of the Gallery App now has vastly extended functionality: photos in posts/comments can now be viewed in the gallery directly from the stream, if a toplevel post has images at the beginning (before any text) the images will be converted to an album.
Deprecated Addon Settings: Addon settings have been deprecated in favor of the per app settings. This work has started in Hubzilla version 3.8 and has now been finalized.
Software Stack (admin): Hubzilla 4.0 will require PHP7. Version 7.2 or 7.3 are recommended.
General: Uncountable usability improvements and bug fixes.

Hubzilla 4.0RC Released!
If you installed Hubzilla via git and running master branch, you are only a git checkout 4.0RC away from the next major Hubzilla release. Make sure to also git checkout 4.0RC the addons if you decide to join the RC testing.

IMPORTANT: due to another batch of changes to the addons, apps and settings in this release you should run util/safemode on before, and util/safemode off after the upgrade.

There are several DB updates which will take a looong time to complete (item table). Please be patient. If updates fail due to server timeout, you will need to apply the failed updates manually.

You are invited to provide feedback in form of bug reports or merge requests on issues you might find.

You can follow the progress of RC testing in this wiki. Please PM me for wiki write-access if desired.

For the changelog please have a look at the git history for now.
A condensed summary will follow with the version 4.0 release announcement.

Happy testing!
