• Remove categories, because they aren’t customizable, filterable, or multi-lingual (#1429, !176)
• Various changes to allow federation with Pleroma:
  • Use name field for post titles instead of summary (!173)
  • Dont include community in comment to field (!174)
  • Documentation updates based on the changes above
• Removed code for compatibility with Lemmy v0.8.9 and older (!178)
• Some code refactoring (!172, !175)
• Wrote a statement on Lemmy.ml politics (together with @dessalines)

@dessalines:

• Worked on replacing config-rs, with @canop’s deser-hjson and merge. config-rs, as well as about 3 dependent libraries, are abandoned and have been broken for a few months on newer versions of rust. !1433
• This allows us to move up from rust 1.47.0 to use rust 1.50.0. !1452
• Working on splitting the user_ table into a federated, called person, and a local_user table. This is a lot bigger effort than I expected.
• Emoji picker now uses utf8 emojis, rather than short names. #184
• Merged a few PRs from @gazconroy to convert our current API docs to an AsyncAPI html. This is close to being ready.
• Changed subscribers to users on main page user count.
• Upgraded lemmy-ui deps, including husky, and prettier, and typescript lints. (This might require clearing out git hooks for any front end devs)
• Fixed an issue with markdown buttons not working on site and community sidebars. #182
• Using a more recent version of cargo-chef for builds.
