Fedify 0.8.0

Released on May 6, 2024.

• The CLI toolchain for testing and debugging is now available on JSR: @fedify/cli. You can install it with deno install -A --unstable-fs --unstable-kv --unstable-temporal -n fedify jsr:@fedify/cli, or download a standalone executable from the releases page.

  • Added fedify command.
  • Added fedify lookup subcommand.
  • Added fedify inbox subcommand.

• Implemented followers collection synchronization mechanism.

  • Added RequestContext.sendActivity() overload that takes "followers" as the second parameter.
  • Added the second type parameter to CollectionCallbackSetters interface.
  • Added the second type parameter to CollectionDispatcher type.
  • Added the fourth parameter to CollectionDispatcher type.
  • Added the second type parameter to CollectionCounter type.
  • Added the third parameter to CollectionCounter type.
  • Added the second type parameter to CollectionCursor type.
  • Added the third parameter to CollectionCursor type.

• Relaxed the required type for activity recipients.

  • Added Recipient interface.
  • The type of the second parameter of Context.sendActivity() method became Recipient | Recipient[] (was Actor | Actor[]). However, since Recipient is a supertype of Actor, the existing code should work without any change.

• Followers collection now has to consist of Recipient objects only. (It could consist of URLs as well as Actors before.)

  • The type of Federation.setFollowersDispatcher() method's second parameter became CollectionDispatcher<Recipient, TContextData, URL> (was CollectionDispatcher<Actor | URL, TContextData>).

• Some of the responsibility of a document loader was separated to a context loader and a document loader.

  • Added contextLoader option to constructors, fromJsonLd() static methods, clone() methods, and all non-scalar accessors (get*()) of Activity Vocabulary classes.
  • Renamed documentLoader option to contextLoader in toJsonLd() methods of Activity Vocabulary objects.
  • Added contextLoader option to LookupObjectOptions interface.
  • Added contextLoader property to Context interface.
  • Added contextLoader option to FederationParameters interface.
  • Renamed documentLoader option to contextLoader in RespondWithObjectOptions interface.
  • Added GetKeyOwnerOptions interface.
  • The type of the second parameter of getKeyOwner() function became GetKeyOwnerOptions (was DocumentLoader).
  • Added DoesActorOwnKeyOptions interface.
  • The type of the third parameter of doesActorOwnKey() function became DoesActorOwnKeyOptions (was DocumentLoader).

• Added width and height properties to Document class for better compatibility with Mastodon. [#47]

  • Added Document.width property.
  • Added Document.height property.
  • new Document() constructor now accepts width option.
  • new Document() constructor now accepts height option.
  • Document.clone() method now accepts width option.
  • Document.clone() method now accepts height option.

• Removed the dependency on @js-temporal/polyfill on Deno, and Fedify now requires --unstable-temporal flag. On other runtime, it still depends on @js-temporal/polyfill.

• Added more log messages using the LogTape library. Currently the below logger categories are used:

  • ["fedify", "federation", "collection"]
  • ["fedify", "httpsig", "verify"]
  • ["fedify", "runtime", "docloader"]

• Fixed a bug where the authenticated document loader had thrown InvalidUrl error when the URL redirection was involved in Bun.

• Fixed a bug of lookupObject() that it had failed to look up the actor object when WebFinger response had no links with "type": "application/activity+json" but had "type": "application/ld+json; profile=\"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams\"".
