[ANNOUNCE] urbit-os-v2.49

[Liam Fitzgerald]

urbit-os-v2.49

This release will be pushed to the network as an over-the-air update.

Base hash (check with +trouble):

0v1f.umieh.nvtlq.v21he.obni1.ls0ef.o86gt.so0i8.rlpg4.h9eqn.0tvgq

Breaking changes:

- The graph-update and metadata-update have been upgraded, with corresponding

new marks

Release notes:

- Adds the ability to link to chat messages, notes, links, and comments, and

jump to them across the interface. These permalinks can also be added to

collections and shared as links outside of Urbit (if the recipient, too, has

Landscape). Permalinks also allow people to automatically join groups and

channels if both are public, jumping straight to the content.

- Adds a protocol handler, web+urbitgraph://, on Chrome and Firefox over HTTPS,

that allows the browser to redirect permalinks to your Landscape session.

- Adds a new module, the group feed, as an option for each group. Hosts, admins

and members can be permissioned to a group feed, posting and replying in

threaded conversations.

[Matilde Park]

Our metadata-store migration in this release irrecoverably dropped all group pictures. We apologise for this … if you are a group host, you’ll have to set them again.
