Changelog

The site has two parts, each with its own version number: the frontend (what you see and use in the browser) and the backend (the server, the feed worker and the database). Versions are major.minor.bugfix: major for changes that break existing setups or links, minor for new or changed features, bugfix for fixes and speed-ups.

FrontendVersion 1.27.0

  1. 1.27.0

    Added

    • The footer of every page shows the running frontend and backend versions, each linking to its changelog.

  2. 1.26.0

    Added

    • Public changelog (/changelog): the frontend's and backend's current versions and latest changes side by side, with every release at /changelog/frontend and /changelog/backend.
    • A Changelog link in the footer of every page.

  3. 1.25.1

    Fixed

    • The "Top story from" selector offered sections the reader had turned off, and a turned-off section could still supply the top story.

    Changed

    • The build records the frontend and backend versions from the changelogs, for the page footers.

    • Markdown versions of the changelog pages, and the changelog in llms.txt and the sitemap.
    • A check (pnpm changelog:check, also in CI) that every frontend, backend or shared change comes with a new version in the right changelog.

    Changed
