We have just released v4.6.0 of NodeBB, containing fixes to our ActivityPub integration, minor fixes with SCSS, and some new functionality with topic templating.

:globe_with_meridians: ActivityPub Fixes

  • WordPress blogs can be properly pulled into NodeBB (via their URL) now
  • Fixed an error when moving a remote topic to another category
    • This also fixed the issue where moved topics didn’t update topic/post counters
  • Fixed bug where NodeBB could not properly process Link headers when it contained the standalone crossorigin directive
  • Notifications for replies to topics made in remote categories now show the appropriate user
  • Fixed bug where remote users were not able to post to a local category if registered-users privilege was removed (now checks fediverse pseudo-user)
  • Nested remote categories can now be removed from the ACP
  • Remote categories can be renamed for de-duplication purposes
  • Improved title generation for quote-posts

Core fixes

  • Persona theme now shows hidden (zero-character) links in post content
  • _variables.scss page in ACP > Appearance can now override Bootstrap variables
  • A template can be provided in a category’s settings. This template is auto-populated in the composer when a new topic is being authored.
