# Changelog — Klonkt

All notable changes to Klonkt. Newest at the top.
Versions follow [SemVer](https://semver.org/) (`1.0.0-beta.N` during the beta).

## [Unreleased]

### Added
- **Klonkt is now on the fediverse (ActivityPub).** Your site is a real fediverse
  account: people on Mastodon — or another Klonkt — can follow you, and your posts
  reach their feeds. You can follow accounts and read their posts in a **News** feed,
  get **notifications**, and **like, boost and reply** to posts. Incoming activity is
  verified, so fake replies, likes and followers are rejected.
- **Anyone can reply, like or boost your posts from the fediverse** — visitors interact
  from their own account (they just enter their server); no account on your site needed.
- **Circles**: follow other Klonkt sites and show each other's public posts in your
  Circle — decentralised, with no central platform.
- **Sensitive (NSFW) posts** with your own content-warning text: blurred with
  click-to-reveal across the site, and shown as a content warning on the fediverse.
- **Block** an account or an entire domain you'd rather not hear from.
- Search now also finds **tracks** (by title, artist and album), playable straight from
  the results with a link to the post they appear in — and post search matches as you type.
- **Live theme preview** in Admin → site settings: accent, theme and palette update
  instantly, before you save.
- Uploaded images are automatically optimised to **WebP** for faster pages.
- A roomier **mobile writing experience**: tap to open a distraction-free fullscreen
  editor, with the formatting toolbar staying in view above the keyboard.
- **Long posts collapse in the News feed** with a *read more* toggle, so a long post no
  longer fills the whole screen — tap to expand or collapse it.

### Changed
- **Palettes revised to 8**: the neutral **Klonkt** (gold accent) is the new default,
  plus seven full-colour themes — Forest, Ocean, Teal, Lilac, Sunset, Candy and Amber.

### Removed
- **Hub mode** — Klonkt is now **solo or Circles**; you build a collective or label
  through **Circles** (federated, standalone sites).
- **Native comments and Google login** — replies, likes and boosts now run entirely
  through the fediverse.
- **Local favourites (♥)** — replaced by the ⭐ fediverse like.

### Fixed
- **Hashtags and mentions now work in every language and script** (e.g. Japanese, Cyrillic,
  Arabic), both on your site and when federating — not just the Latin alphabet.
- **Switching a site to solo (federation off) works again.** Turning the fediverse off could
  make the whole site return “page not found” instead of just disabling federation; it now
  cleanly switches federation off while the rest of the site keeps working. (Self-hosters:
  update to pick up the fix.)
- The Fediverse and Notifications items now disappear from the menu when federation is off,
  instead of lingering.
- The mini-player jumps and scrolls to the track that's playing — also from an album or
  playlist — and keeps it highlighted.
- Empty album/playlist covers now fall back to the first track's cover.
- A profile photo that broke in the header after the WebP switch now repairs itself.
- Many **mobile post-editor** fixes: reliable scrolling, a formatting toolbar that stays
  put, no page jumps when you tap a button, and a Save bar that sits just above the keyboard.

## [1.0.0-beta.2] — 2026-06-19
