## [unreleased]
### Changed
- MFR policy to set global expiration for all local Create activities
<details>
<summary>API Changes</summary>
- **Breaking:** Emoji API: changed methods and renamed routes.
</details>
### Removed
- **Breaking:** removed `with_move` parameter from notifications timeline.
### Added
- Chats: Added support for federated chats. For details, see the docs.
- ActivityPub: Added support for existing AP ids for instances migrated from Mastodon.
- Instance: Add `background_image` to configuration and `/api/v1/instance`
- 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.
- Configuration: `filename_display_max_length` option to set filename truncate limit, if filename display enabled (0 = no limit).
- 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
## 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)
- `content`: a map consisting of alternate representations of the `content` property with the key being it's mimetype. Currently the only alternate representation supported is `text/plain`
- `spoiler_text`: a map consisting of alternate representations of the `spoiler_text` property with the key being it's mimetype. Currently the only alternate representation supported is `text/plain`
- `expires_at`: a datetime (iso8601) that states when the post will expire (be deleted automatically), or empty if the post won't expire
- `thread_muted`: true if the thread the post belongs to is muted
- `emoji_reactions`: A list with emoji / reaction maps. The format is `{name: "☕", count: 1, me: true}`. Contains no information about the reacting users, for that use the `/statuses/:id/reactions` endpoint.
## Media Attachments
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `mime_type`: mime type of the attachment.
### 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.
### Limitations
Pleroma does not process remote images and therefore cannot include fields such as `meta` and `blurhash`. It does not support focal points or aspect ratios. The frontend is expected to handle it.
## Accounts
The `id` parameter can also be the `nickname` of the user. This only works in these endpoints, not the deeper nested ones for following etc.
- `/api/v1/accounts/:id`
- `/api/v1/accounts/:id/statuses`

## GET `/api/v1/notifications`
Accepts additional parameters:
- `exclude_visibilities`: will exclude the notifications for activities with the given visibilities. The parameter accepts an array of visibility types (`public`, `unlisted`, `private`, `direct`). Usage example: `GET /api/v1/notifications?exclude_visibilities[]=direct&exclude_visibilities[]=private`.
- `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:

- `to`: A list of nicknames (like `lain@soykaf.club` or `lain` on the local server) that will be used to determine who is going to be addressed by this post. Using this will disable the implicit addressing by mentioned names in the `status` body, only the people in the `to` list will be addressed. 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`.
- `expires_in`: The number of seconds the posted activity should expire in. When a posted activity expires it will be deleted from the server, and a delete request for it will be federated. This needs to be longer than an hour.
