Vernissage 1.38.0 is now available! 🎉
This release introduces create/announce support for user inboxes with visibility validations, a new QuietPublic visibility type on status, and an antiflood mechanism with configurable parameters. It also fixes remote comment notifications, case-insensitive status search, and image rotation issues during small image generation from ActivityPub imports.
Thank you for all your feedback and support! 🤩

#Holos 1.6.0 is available!
This release introduces desktop support with Electron on macOS and Linux. Syncs now use a sequenced bloom filter with WebSocket filtering that will avoid timeouts when starting the app.
The media viewer should be smoother, with instant thumbnails and a transition from the thumbnail position.
