## [unreleased]
### Changed
<details>
<summary>API Changes</summary>
- **Breaking:** Emoji API: changed methods and renamed routes.
</details>
### Removed
- **Breaking:** removed `with_move` parameter from notifications timeline.
### Added
- Instance: Extend `/api/v1/instance` with Pleroma-specific information.
- NodeInfo: `pleroma:api/v1/notifications:include_types_filter` to the `features` list.
- NodeInfo: `pleroma_emoji_reactions` to the `features` list.
- Configuration: `:restrict_unauthenticated` setting, restrict access for unauthenticated users to timelines (public and federate), user profiles and statuses.
- Configuration: Add `:database_config_whitelist` setting to whitelist settings which can be configured from AdminFE.
- New HTTP adapter [gun](https://github.com/ninenines/gun). Gun adapter requires minimum OTP version of 22.2 otherwise Pleroma won’t start. For hackney OTP update is not required.
- **Breaking:** Pleroma won't start if it detects unapplied migrations
- **Breaking:** Elixir >=1.8 is now required (was >= 1.7)
- **Breaking:** `Pleroma.Plugs.RemoteIp` and `:rate_limiter` enabled by default. Please ensure your reverse proxy forwards the real IP!
- **Breaking:** attachment links (`config :pleroma, :instance, no_attachment_links` and `config :pleroma, Pleroma.Upload, link_name`) disabled by default
- **Breaking:** OAuth: defaulted `[:auth, :enforce_oauth_admin_scope_usage]` setting to `true` which demands `admin` OAuth scope to perform admin actions (in addition to `is_admin` flag on User); make sure to use bundled or newer versions of AdminFE & PleromaFE to access admin / moderator features.
- **Breaking:** Dynamic configuration has been rearchitected. The `:pleroma, :instance, dynamic_configuration` setting has been replaced with `config :pleroma, configurable_from_database`. Please backup your configuration to a file and run the migration task to ensure consistency with the new schema.
- **Breaking:** `:instance, no_attachment_links` has been replaced with `:instance, attachment_links` which still takes a boolean value but doesn't use double negative language.
- Replaced [pleroma_job_queue](https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma_job_queue) and `Pleroma.Web.Federator.RetryQueue` with [Oban](https://github.com/sorentwo/oban) (see [`docs/config.md`](docs/config.md) on migrating customized worker / retry settings)
- Enabled `:instance, extended_nickname_format` in the default config
- Add `rel="ugc"` to all links in statuses, to prevent SEO spam
- Extract RSS functionality from OStatus
- MRF (Simple Policy): Also use `:accept`/`:reject` on the actors rather than only their activities
- OStatus: Extract RSS functionality
- Deprecated `User.Info` embedded schema (fields moved to `User`)
- Store status data inside Flag activity
- Deprecated (reorganized as `UserRelationship` entity) User fields with user AP IDs (`blocks`, `mutes`, `muted_reblogs`, `muted_notifications`, `subscribers`).
- Rate limiter is now disabled for localhost/socket (unless remoteip plug is enabled)
- Logger: default log level changed from `warn` to `info`.
- Config mix task `migrate_to_db` truncates `config` table before migrating the config file.
- Allow account registration without an email
- Default to `prepare: :unnamed` in the database configuration.
- Instance stats are now loaded on startup instead of being empty until next hourly job.

# Differences in Mastodon API responses from vanilla Mastodon
A Pleroma instance can be identified by "<Mastodon version> (compatible; Pleroma <version>)" present in `version` field in response from `/api/v1/instance`
## Flake IDs
Pleroma uses 128-bit ids as opposed to Mastodon's 64 bits. However just like Mastodon's ids they are lexically sortable strings
## Attachment cap
Some apps operate under the assumption that no more than 4 attachments can be returned or uploaded. Pleroma however does not enforce any limits on attachment count neither when returning the status object nor when posting.
## Timelines
Adding the parameter `with_muted=true` to the timeline queries will also return activities by muted (not by blocked!) users.
Adding the parameter `exclude_visibilities` to the timeline queries will exclude the statuses with the given visibilities. The parameter accepts an array of visibility types (`public`, `unlisted`, `private`, `direct`), e.g., `exclude_visibilities[]=direct&exclude_visibilities[]=private`.
Adding the parameter `reply_visibility` to the public and home timelines queries will filter replies. Possible values: without parameter (default) shows all replies, `following` - replies directed to you or users you follow, `self` - replies directed to you.
## Statuses
- `visibility`: has an additional possible value `list`
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `local`: true if the post was made on the local instance
- `conversation_id`: the ID of the AP context the status is associated with (if any)
- `direct_conversation_id`: the ID of the Mastodon direct message conversation the status is associated with (if any)
- `in_reply_to_account_acct`: the `acct` property of User entity for replied user (if any)

## Attachments
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:

## GET `/api/v1/notifications`
Accepts additional parameters:

- `include_types`: will include the notifications for activities with the given types. The parameter accepts an array of types (`mention`, `follow`, `reblog`, `favourite`, `move`, `pleroma:emoji_reaction`). Usage example: `GET /api/v1/notifications?include_types[]=mention&include_types[]=reblog`.
Additional parameters can be added to the JSON body/Form data:

The normal rules for for post visibility are not affected by this and will still apply.
- `visibility`: string, besides standard MastoAPI values (`direct`, `private`, `unlisted` or `public`) it can be used to address a List by setting it to `list:LIST_ID`.

### Pleroma Settings Store
Pleroma has mechanism that allows frontends to save blobs of json for each user on the backend. This can be used to save frontend-specific settings for a user that the backend does not need to know about.
The parameter should have a form of `{frontend_name: {...}}`, with `frontend_name` identifying your type of client, e.g. `pleroma_fe`. It will overwrite everything under this property, but will not overwrite other frontend's settings.
This information is returned in the `verify_credentials` endpoint.
## Authentication
*Pleroma supports refreshing tokens.*

Request parameters can be passed via [query strings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string) or as [form data](https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html). Files must be uploaded as `multipart/form-data`.

# Pleroma Conversations
Pleroma Conversations have the same general structure that Mastodon Conversations have. The behavior differs in the following ways when using these endpoints:
1. Pleroma Conversations never add or remove recipients, unless explicitly changed by the user.
2. Pleroma Conversations statuses can be requested by Conversation id.
3. Pleroma Conversations can be replied to.
Conversations have the additional field `recipients` under the `pleroma` key. This holds a list of all the accounts that will receive a message in this conversation.
The status posting endpoint takes an additional parameter, `in_reply_to_conversation_id`, which, when set, will set the visiblity to direct and address only the people who are the recipients of that Conversation.
⚠ Conversation IDs can be found in direct messages with the `pleroma.direct_conversation_id` key, do not confuse it with `pleroma.conversation_id`.
### Update a conversation. Used to change the set of recipients.
* Method `PATCH`
* Authentication: required
