2024.8.1

User visible changes:

You can now search your drive files by name or description.
You can now disable the “edited” notifications.
When you block a user, they’re now also muted, so you won’t see their notes even if they get boosted into your timeline (you can un-mute them if you want).
“My Plays” page now shows the visibility of plays without clicking into each individual play.
Users can now report pages, galleries, and plays.
Follow requests from suspended accounts are no longer shown.

Of interest to admins:

Password checks and websocket connections are rate limited now; this improves security and resistance to denial-of-service attacks.
When an admin deletes all files of another user, those deletions are logged in the moderation log.
All memory caches are now limited, Sharkey should use less RAM overall.
new setting attachLdSignatureForRelays to disable sending LD-Signatures to relays.
More checks at startup: db reachability, config file presence.
URL previews are cached on the server, this should reduce the load on websites that get linked in popular notes.
Remote documents that return text/html but specify <link rel="alternate" type="application/activity+json" href="..."/> tags are now supported.
