Hey @all!
Yes, it's that time of the year again (no, not Christmas ... yet) - Diaspora* was just released in its full glory as v0.0.2.0
(in accordance to our interpretation of SemVer).
Some of the more noteable changes include:
These are exciting times for us, as development and governance is going better than ever before.
But that doesn't mean we can't use anyone new to help us make things go even smoother.
If you don't already have an account on loom.io (our decision making tool), just send someone of us your email address, and you'll get an invite.
Also, keep an eye out for the tasks and issues maked with "newcomer" or "quickfix" on Github. Those should present an easy entry point for people who want to help with the code, but don't have a vast knowledge of our codebase or programming/ruby in general. We're prepared to help you with whatever issue you would like to tackle. Just give it a try ;)
That's all,
have a great update, and a smooth user experience!
:P

(in accordance to our interpretation of SemVer).
Some of the more noteable changes include:
- refinement of the user login and session handling code -
a problem with remembering the login across sessions was fixed - the supporting scripts for CI, semi-automated dev installations and running a stand-alone app server were polished and should now be even more portable and reliable
- cross-posting to Facebook was behaving oddly, but not anymore.
Also, we're now stripping the cross-posts of any Markdown formatting, except for when you post to Tumblr (because Tumblr supports Markdown). - the regular expression used for pre-processing links for Markdown
got revamped,
due to the fact that the old one would sometimes make WebKit-based browsers freeze... - notifications for private messages will be created more dependably,
but during the work on the fix it was unearthed that some serious refactoring is in order for that area...
These are exciting times for us, as development and governance is going better than ever before.
