v0.10.0

Release 0.10.0

See the released file README.txt for details

0.9

Upgrade Instructions

• SQLite 3 code has been removed. If you are running version 0.7.x of gossip, you need to run a 0.8.x version of gossip at least once in order to keep your old data. Otherwise you can just start fresh.

New Features

• Person Lists:
  • Curate your own lists of people
  • View a feed of just those people
  • Save to nostr events, synchronize with other nostr clients.
  • Mark members private to save secretly in encrypted contents.
• Onboarding wizard: Steps a new user through what is needed to get set up
• Support for the new nostr CLOSED message.
• Tagging now works by just typing an '@' and the name and picking from a popup list.
• Restyle of DM Chat
• Restyle of Profile pages
• New login page
• Improvements to event deletion (multiple issues resolved)
• "show more" on long notes
• scrolling improvements
• name improvements (which name to use)
• Better tracking of threads and replies (reposts, replies via 'a')
• Command line commands: reprocess_recent, print_followed, print_muted, bech32_decode, bech32_encode_event_addr, print_relay, add_person_relay, print_person, import_event, print_person_lists, add_person_list, rename_person_list,
• Relay communications are kinder to relays
• Documentation reworked
• TLS now defaults to rust code, but native (operating system provided) root certificates.
• Restructured as a library and a binary, so that people who want a different UI are free to replace the UI while continuing to use the underlying library.
• Lots of little things I didn't bother to add to this list. See the git history for the whole truth.
