StatusNet 0.9.4

It's that time again -- we've packaged together the latest bug fixes and minor feature enhancements, and are pushing out StatusNet 0.9.4 (codename: "Orange Crush").

For best compatibility with client software and site federation, and a lot of bug fixes, it is highly recommended that all public sites upgrade to the new version.

Download

The software is available at http://status.net/statusnet-0.9.4.tar.gz

Requirements and installation

Prereqs and installation instructions are available in the README file.

Upgrade

Users of version 0.9.0 or later should be able to upgrade in-place. The core database schema hasn't changed. However, it is a good idea to run scripts/checkschema.php after the in-place upgrade.

Changes

Changes from 0.9.4beta1:

• fix for daemon config switching on multi-site setup

Notable changes this version:

• OpenID and OAuth libraries patched for potential timing attack
• OStatus feed i/o updated for Activity Streams
• Correctness fixes on XRD, other discovery bits
• Support for contacting SNI-based SSL virtual hosts when SSL certificate verification is enabled (requires PHP 5.3.2+ or enabling CURL backend with $config['http']['curl'] = true)
• Experimental SubMirror plugin
• Multi-site status_network table mode has been tweaked to support multiple tags better
• Many updates to user interface translation from TranslateWiki
• Many other bugfixes
