StatusNet 0.9.5

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-0.9.5.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.

Users of the TwitterBridge plugin should run the initialize_notice_to_status.php script in plugins/TwitterBridge/scripts/ to get improved integration for existing tweets in the StatusNet database. New tweets should work fine without running that script.

Changes

• Change of license for default themes and documentation from AGPLv3 to CC-By 3.0 Unported.
• An experimental TinyMCE plugin to do in-browser rich editing of status updates. Does not support StatusNet syntax like @-replies or #hashtags very well.
• An experimental plugin to add titles to notices.
• A plugin to support the Echo <http://aboutecho.com/> commenting system.
• A plugin to support the Disqus <http://disqus.com/> commenting system.
• Changes to OStatus support to make StatusNet work for the Social Web Acid Test Level 0 <http://federatedsocialweb.net/wiki/SWAT0>.
• Themes now support a theme.ini file for theme configuration, including defining a "base" theme.
• Improved two-way Twitter integration, including support for repeats and retweets, replies, and faves going both ways across the bridge, as well as better parsing of Twitter statuses.
