What's Changed

  • feat: add a static site option by @Xyphyn in https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon/pull/622
  • design: improve comment experience by @Xyphyn in https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon/pull/623
    • better spacing, and separation, as well as easier and more readable font size
  • perf: optimize bundle size by @Xyphyn in https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon/pull/627
    • stuff is now more dynamically loaded which should improve load speed
    • other misc performance improvements
  • security: add a content security policy
  • misc: add a User-Agent for API requests
  • design: use a unified common list component
  • misc: use gradients for placeholder avatars
    • I use placeholder avatars a lot since it's easier to distinguish users based on color/shape rather than username, and this makes it even easier to distinguish
  • feat: add a vote ratio bar option
    • when enabled, if a post is more controversial, a bar will be overlayed behind it to visualize it
  • feat: browse communities of specific instances
    • the available instances are only that you have accounts/guests on as i consider them "trusted"
  • feat: add an SSG adapter
    • admins can build the app with ADAPTER=static and then a build folder will be generated with just the shell. There will be no server side rendering available with this.
  • i18n: sync translations with weblate
    • Bulgarian: salif
    • Polish: gapetto

I put closer to what I actually changed in each patch note now, I used to pick and choose a lot

It is just that semantic versioning describes minor version updates as mostly bug fix only releases.
