  Next Friendica Release Candidate availableThe development cycle for the 2024.09 release enters the last stage before the stable release – today we have branched off the 2024.09 release candid branch. 2024.09-rc contains all the features of the stable release and is meant to test the new features, find some last rough edges and smooth out the path to the final stable release at the end of October. 2024.09 will be mostly a maintenance release fixing issues in various parts of Friendica. If you want to help out in testing, please checkout the new 2024.09-rc branch and report problems that you encounter.The most notable changes in this release are:we now support HLS and further improved the compatibility with Bluesky,we dropped the support of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OStatus (the predecessor of ActivityPub) after evaluating the amount of active servers/contacts that are still only using this protocol,Friendica is now REUSE compliant and supports FEP-67ff git.friendi.ca/friendica/frien… What is FriendicaFriendica is a decentralized communications platform, you can use to host your own social media server that integrates with independent social networking platforms (like the Fediverse or Diaspora*) but also some commercial ones like Tumbler and BlueSky.
