• Added Emoji class to Activity Vocabulary API. [#48]

• Added an actor handle normalization function.

  • Added normalizeActorHandle() function.
  • Added NormalizeActorHandleOptions interface.
  • The getActorHandle() function now guarantees that the returned actor handle is normalized.
  • Added the second optional parameter to getActorHandle() function.
  • The return type of getActorHandle() function became Promise<`@${string}@${string}` | `${string}@${string}`> (was Promise<`@${string}@${string}`>).

  • Added SendActivityOptions.excludeBaseUris property.
  • Added ExtractInboxesParameters.excludeBaseUris property.

• The Context now can parse URIs of objects, inboxes, and collections as well as actors.

  • Added ParseUriResult type.
  • Deprecated Context.getHandleFromActorUri() method.

• The time window for signature verification is now configurable. [#52]

  • The default time window for signature verification is now a minute (was 30 seconds).
  • Added signatureTimeWindow option to FederationParameters interface.
  • Added VerifyOptions interface.
  • The signature of the verify() function is revamped; it now optionally takes a VerifyOptions object as the second parameter.

• Renamed the @fedify/fedify/httpsig module to @fedify/fedify/sig, and also:

  • Deprecated sign() function. Use signRequest() instead.
  • Deprecated verify() function. Use verifyRequest() instead.
  • Deprecated VerifyOptions interface. Use VerifyRequestOptions instead.

• When signing an HTTP request, the algorithm parameter is now added to the Signature header. This change improves the compatibility with Misskey and other implementations that require the algorithm parameter.

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

  • ["fedify", "federation", "actor"]
  • ["fedify", "federation", "http"]
  • ["fedify", "sig", "http"]

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.

  • 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.

• 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\"".
