I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.42 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

It's now possible to add profile metadata.

Accounts can be marked as 'private', so that they are not accesible from any non-authorized web UI (i.e. only through the Fediverse).

Outgoing connections that fail with a timeout are retried with a higher timeout limit. But, if the instance keeps timing out, it's penalized by skipping one retry.

If a post comes from a group or community (i.e. it has an audience field set), the buttons Follow Group or Unfollow Group are shown.

Pinned posts are never (incorrectly) purged.

Some RSS validation fixes.

Mastodon API: some tweaks to better match Mastodon behaviour in timeline entries and boosted posts are correctly returned, and some fixes for crashes.

Don't allow creating users which user name strings only differ in case. This was creating some problems (e.g. the webfinger interface doesn't allow case sensitivity).

      Well, has two areas where user posts are published via the web interface: the 'public' page and the server timeline (if the sysadmin has enabled it). Everybody can see this pages with no identification and they work as a microblogging service. If you set an account as private, posts from it are not shown in the public pages.
