GoToSocial is an ActivityPub social network server, written in Golang.
With GoToSocial, you can keep in touch with your friends, post, read,
and share images and articles. All without being tracked or advertised
to!
GoToSocial provides a lightweight, customizable, and safety-focused
entryway into the Fediverse, and is comparable to (but distinct from)
existing projects such as Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, and PixelFed.
Reason:
net-im/gotosocial has been updated to 0.22.0
New configuration options have been added and the upgrade involves
lengthy database migrations (allow upwards of 30 minutes) which must not
be interrupted.
Upgrade procedure:
1. # service gotosocial stop
2. Backup database
3. # pkg upgrade gotosocial
4. Merge new options from etc/gotosocial/config.yaml.sample
5. # service gotosocial start (do not interrupt database migrations!)
PostgreSQL users will need to perform the following manual steps in
addition:
6. Connect to gotosocial database using `psql` command
7. VACUUM FULL;
8. VACUUM FULL ANALYZE;
9. VACUUM (DISABLE_PAGE_SKIPPING ON);
10. # service gotosocial restart

net-im/gotosocial: upsate to 0.14.1
ChangeLog:
0.14.1 specifics:
There was a bug in 0.14.0 which was causing SQLite-backed instances to sometimes
become unresponsive, with lots of errors in the logs containing interrupted(9).
0.14.0 release highlights:
* Account aliasing. You can now set the alsoKnownAs field on your account via
the settings panel, to indicate other accounts you own. This doesn't do much
now, but it's the first step towards the Move implementation for account
migration coming in v0.15.0.
* Much better thread sorting. Conversation threads on both the web view and
client API use a new sorting mechanism which makes them way more readable. No
longer will replies in a thread be scattered all over the place.
* Better HTTP signature support. We fixed a longstanding issue with including
vs not including query parameters in signed GET requests. We now try (and
accept) both methods of constructing signatures. Which leads to...
* Improved thread fetching. You'll see far fewer "orphaned" statuses in your
timeline now, and you'll see more replies on statuses from other instances.
* Syntax highlighting for code blocks on the web UI. When you include a code
block in your markdown now, and correctly indicate the language the code is
written in, it will be syntax highlighted when rendered on your profile in the
web UI. This requires javascript, but it's a progressive enhancement feature.
Visitors to your profile with javascript turned off will just see the code block
without syntax highlighting.
* Improved "about this instance" page, with a link to the page in the nav bar.
Previously the "about this instance" page was more or less hidden. We've now
surfaced it better, so you can write all your terms and conditions and instance
description stuff there. Relatedly....
* Parse instance descriptions and terms and conditions as markdown. Previously
it was very difficult to properly edit these fields, because you had to read +
write HTML to do so. Now they're parsed as markdown. This means you can more
easily include things like blockquotes, lists, etc.
* Big refactor of HTML templates + CSS. We did a serious rework of HTML
templates to fix indentation. Previously if you did "view source" on a
GoToSocial profile page, you'd see a mess of sloppily-indented HTML. With this
refactor, the HTML is now nicely indented and much more readable. We also did an
accessibility pass and tested our HTML with various screen readers to try to
make the web view a bit less annoying to navigate.
* First pass at a basic spam filtering system. In light of spam waves happening
on the fediverse recently we took a crack at implementing a filter to drop
messages identified as spam. This is still in the experimental stage, but it's
included in this release so you can try it out already.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
*/*: Repair after switching to versioned Go ports
- Add 1.17 to USES=go for ports that still need go117, remove GO_PORT;
- Add missing ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} to repair BINARY_ALIAS;
- Remove explicit dependencies on lang/go.
