Gossip Release 0.14.af
======================
Gossip is a nostr client for desktop.
Gossip is open sourced at https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip
This is a minor release with very special features that we wanted to get out early:
* New Features and Improvements
* Simple relay list. Gossip will just use your relays. No more connecting to strange
relays or other outbox model nonsense.
* Terminal UI: We ditched egui because it is too complex and presents a security risk.
We now support industry standard VT-102 terminal escape sequences. Just fire up your
favorite VT-100 or VT-102 terminal and enjoy the ncurses magic.
* We are bringing back blinking text!
* Lowercasing: automatically lowercases ODELL's posts
* Extended hellthreads: Auto-tag everybody on nostr, and also everybody on X, Mastodon
and BlueSky.
* Language choice: For those of you who don't like the rust language, we are releasing
in golang. We intend to release in a new language every month. Next month: brainfuck.
* Impersonation: You know you can login to gossip with somebody else's npub to see
what they see. Now you can login with their nsec and post as them! If you don't know
their nsec, just ask. Or use the included npub_to_nsec tool.
* Now ships with an A.I driven blockchain currency tethered to GOOGL. No signup
needed, signup is automatic. Terms and conditions apply. Void where prohibited.
Using gossip means you agree to the terms and conditions and take full responsibility
for all crimes that the gossip developers have ever allegedly committed.

Gossip is open sourced at https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip
This is a major release with the following changes:
* File Metadata support (NIP-92 / NIP-94)
* imeta data in incoming events is utilized, including testing the hash,
and displaying a placeholder blurhash (until the event loads)

metadata (m), hash (x), size, dim, and blurhash
* Failed media loading now shows why

* Cancelling a draft asks if you are sure, so misclicks don't erase your

When I (Mike Dilger) run gossip as myself on my main computer, it's great.
When I run it on other computers and under other accounts like I do when creating a release, I often find problems that I never normally encounter. Sometimes that happens after I've built the release!
There are a few problems I've noticed when doing this release, including
1. A panic in the pending actions system that makes that system crash (gossip keeps working though). Once gossip can load your kind 10050 event, this issue will disappear. But we will fix it.
2. Goddamn it runs slow on physical disks! Instead of processling about 500 events per second, it processes about 10 events per second. I may have to rethink how we do transactions so that we don't fsync so often.
3. Setting up initially with an encrypted private key, it seems to forget the private key (but remember the public key) and it has to be imported again.
4. Relay configs only sync the 10002 inbox/outbox swtiches, and we still have no way of syncing other relay settings across installs.
I'll try to put some effort into these issues and do a point release.
I'm also bogged down in refactoring how threads are handled, something that has been taking far more time than I expected. I put that aside for now.

Gossip Release 0.11.0
=====================
Gossip is a nostr client for desktop.
Gossip is open sourced at https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip
This release adds the following major features:
- SECURE DIRECT MESSAGING: NIP-17 DMs (with NIP-44 encryption and NIP-59
Giftwrap) is fully supported, usable only if both parties have published
their DM relays in a kind 10050 event. You will get a pending item reminding
you to setup your DM relays if you haven't yet. Relays now have DM switches.
- LOAD MORE: now loads a fixed count of events, instead of a time period (which
may have been empty or may have been massive).
- ANNOTATIONS: You may now annotate your messages. If you make a typo, your
annotation (technically a reply event) will render inside the original message
in gossip (but will render as a reply in other clients).
Fixes you may notice:
- Fixed around list synchronization
- Fixes around the tagging popup UI/UX
- Improvements in loading thread ancestors, including better feedback
- Nip46 approvals now persist
- Nip46 compatibility improvements
- An event ordering issue was fixed
Additionally:
- Support for wgpu renderer, and new command to set renderer: wgpu_renderer
- Option to render feed in reverse (with newest at the bottom)
- Improved local storage performance
- Fixes around switching feeds and refreshing
- Vertical scroll bar on relay options
- fixed deleting lists
- Thai font is now also supported in the 'lang-cjk' feature
- Blacklisted relay.nostr.band and filter.nostr.wine relay URLs with proliferating path issues
- k tag added to deletion events
- When querying events, we also query their possible deletion events
- Avoid accidently asking for DMs because some relays reject that subscription
- Avoid repeated AUTHs to broken relays that keep asking
- Improvements around which relays we post to
- Improvements about relay connections
- New commands: export_encrypted_key, import_encrypted_private_key
- UI/UX updates to notifications
- Setting for custom mouse acceleration
- Allow DPI setting up to 400
- UI/UX improvements to widgets and styles
- Updates to dependencies
- Render unknown event kinds better
- Lots more, see changelog-0.11.0.txt for all commit messages

You specify the relay and enable it, then it generates a bunker URL token that you copy and paste into for your client. Gossip will service that other client through the relay as long as it is running.

2024-04-18 01:10:46 CEST

Gossip Release 0.10.0
=====================
Gossip is a nostr client for desktop.
Gossip is open sourced at https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip
This release adds the following major features:
* Nostr Connect signer: Gossip can now serve as your private key bunker using NIP-46.
* Whitelist support for relays: Optionally gossip can refuse to connect or authenticate to
relays until you approve (or deny) such connections. For some, this is the privacy they
need to accept the outbox model.
* SpamSafe: When enabled, gossip will not fetch replies from people you don't follow except
from relays that you designate as SpamSafe. This helps eliminate spam.
* Load More: At the bottom of the feed, you can press Load More to load more. Be aware that
this is currently based on fixed time windows, not a fixed count of events.
* Advertising your relay list now automatically selects relays to advertise to.
* The Onboarding Wizard has many improvements
* Pending Actions: We now detect and alert you to things you probably should do, like keeping
lists in sync.
Additionally:
* Better handling of relay error conditions and reconnections
* Better handling of switching between online and offline as well as shutting down
* Improvements to seeking thread ancestors
* Improvements to seeking notes by id and author (via the author's relay lists)
* egui update bringing global cut-and-paste as well as other UX improvements.
* Option to retry posting an event to relays it failed to post to earlier ('post again').
* Can start gossip in offline mode now with a checkbox on the login screen
* Person-list desynchronization detection fixes
* AppImage and Flatpak releases
* Security fix: RUSTSEC-2023-0065
* Privacy fix: images are not shown in DMs until the user approves
* MANY more fixes and improvements that are too numerious to list

Gossip changes on the master branch:
af515f98..258cdcc1 (2024-Jan-11..2024-Feb-03)
* Spam Safe: new setting "Avoid spam from unsafe relays" under content. If on, replies from unknown people will only b\
e fetched from relays marked as safe.
* Nostr Connect server: gossip can now serve as a Nostr Connect (NIP-46) server
* [Load More] is now implemented for the inbox feed
* Advertise relays are now automatically determined
* Advertise now happens 10 relays at a time to not overload things
* Relay "low quality" indicators
* Relay list choices now also have "configured" and "hidden"
* freedom: allow setting an empty password
* freedom: wizard no longer forcing a minimum number of relays
* security: NIP-44 post audit changes have been applied (algorithm has changed)
* privacy: do not automatically show images in DMs
* command: delete_spam_by_content
* fix: QR rendering of encrypted notes now uses the decrypted content
* fix: Spam filtering now applies to GiftWrap contents too
* fix: Multiple event deletion improvements/fixes
* fix: clear some ui sensitive fields that were not being cleared
* fix: when relays change, their subscriptions are handled better
* fix: update your own person-relay scores when editing read/write bits of a relay
* fix: strategy for finding ancestors
* fix: race condition in relay usage switches
* refactor: identity rewrite (prep for nip46 client work)
* refactor: settings cleanup
All of these will be in the 0.10 release. Further plans for that release still include (but we probably won't get to all of these):
* Pending action alerts
* AUTH user confirmation (code is on 'auth' branch, UI is still too annoying)
* search at relay
* nip46 nostr connect as a client
* nip46 nostr connect server to require approvals
* sending giftwrap DMs
* bookmarks
* reposting events that didn't post the first time

2024-01-12 00:57:17 CET

I will attempt to start regularly posting changes to the gossip branches. Here is the first one, changes since 0.9
master: af515f98
* Main feeds and person feeds now have "load more" buttons at the bottom. You can configure smaller chunks in Settings > Content and then just use the "load more" buttons when needed.
* Person feeds subscribe to their outbox relays (wasn't doing this right before)
* Person feeds don't pull so many duplicates anymore
* Relay lists are picked up better as they are included in metadata subscriptions now
unstable: 5575285d
* "load more" support now on inbox too.
* spam filter now applies to giftwraps too (to the decrypted content)
* several delete logic fixes
* new command to delete spam: "delete_spam_by_content". This only deletes locally and they flow right back from the relays currently. BUT if applied to giftwrap, it deletes at the relays and remembers the delete so even if the relay didn't honor the delete, you won't see that giftwrap again.
* Relay list new sort (Default) and 2 new filters (Configured, Hidden), plus Private filter fixed
* Relay list: Advertise relays now determined automatically
* Relay list: indicates low quality relays
* Advertise relay list: Now happens in batches of 10 so that you don't open too many connections at a time.

GOSSIP 0.9.0 has been released
git: branch '0.9', tag 'v0.9.0'
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.

GOSSIP 0.8.2 has been released
9 bugfixes and 2 important improvements. See changelog or git history for details.
It might run a bit slower, but your database should not corrupt in the case of a system crash anymore.
Due to multiple reports that the AppImage didn't work last time, I'm not able to provide one until I come up with (or somebody provides me) a recipe that actually works.

ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT GOSSIP UNSTABLE BRANCH
It has come to my attention that a lot of people are using the 'unstable' branch of gossip. That's great if you want to encounter bugs and thus help me fix them. But it is not so good if you don't want your database to become corrupted. Unstable is not meant for people to be using as their daily driver.
The master branch will have the following guarantee: Any database migrations will remain, and further changes will migrate from that point. I won't roll back any commits.
Neither of those guarantees are true for unstable. I may force-push, roll back commits, and change migrations. if you run off of unstable, these actions could cause your database to corrupt. So for those brave souls doing this (and I'm glad there are a few of you), I strongly recommend you backup your database every time you fetch and compile new code (unless you don't care about event history and like starting fresh). Here is one way to do that on linux:
tar cvf - lmdb | zstd -c > lmdb.$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.zst

2023-06-24 23:38:37 CEST

GOSSIP: lightning zaps are now available on the master branch, for those compiling from source. Please let @npub1acg…p35c know about any problems.

To be more clear, I am asking about this packaged release: https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip/releases/download/v0.6.0/gossip-0.6.0-Darwin-x86_64.dmg

0.7.0-unstable is the master branch of git.
I'm asking about the package released on github.

2023-05-07 00:15:48 CEST

Gossip 0.6 has been packaged for MacOS on Intel. I would appreciate it if someone would let me know if it works on said hardware.

2023-04-29 05:17:41 CEST

GOSSIP 0.6 has been released on github: https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip/releases/tag/v0.6.0
Packages are provided for Windows, MacOS (arm64) and Debian (x86_64)
This time around, all packages have CJK language support by default. If you want a smaller binary, you'll need to compile your own.

As this is the first MacOS release, please let me know if it works for you or if you think I should package it differently. Thanks to all the people who zapped me so I could buy a mac mini and do this release.
Changes in 0.6
Images and Videos show as placeholders, right-click to open in browser or trigger other actions.
Images can now be shown inline. See the new settings "Fetch Media" and "Render all media inline automatically".
Changes to how quoted and reposted events are rendered.
Better note content parsing/formatting/rendering
Better compliance to NIP-10
NIP-27 handling of npub, nevent, note, and nprofile
Easy ability to copy an nevent from any note and paste it to mention it (with relays so it can be found by the recipient client)
Reposting a note
Support for rendering (not creating) long-form content (see setting)
Seen-on support (which relays was a note seen on)
Contact list synchronization safety improvements (still manual, gives more detail)
Lots of other little things
For those on master, you have video support that was not released in 0.6.0 because it requires fiddly dependencies and is likely to be redone differently in the future.
Enjoy!

2023-04-08 01:32:04 CEST

GOSSIP USERS: I forgot a few things
* Images: Once rendered, there are links on the far right to close, copy URL, or open in browser.
* There is a Stats page finally
* We have a Repost button (for pure repost with no additional commentary). if you want to quote-post or otherwise mention, select "Copy nevent" from the menu of the post you want to mention and paste it into your draft.

2023-04-01 02:14:20 CEST

Changes on gossip master in the last two days:
* New posts no longer place #[0] markers in the content, but instead leave npub/nprofile/note/nevent links in the content (andit ensures they are all prefixed with 'nostr:'). Currently tags are generated from all of these (you cannot yet avoid having the tags added).
* You can copy an nevent from the note menu, and paste it into your draft, which lets recipient clients know which relays to find the event on.
* Composition highlighting has been improved
* Content parsing has been improved to fix some bugs which were not showing some parts of the content in certain situations, and also to handle nevent and nprofile better.
* When you reply or quote, the compose draft textbox gets focus; When you press CTRL-Return or CMD-Return, it sends the note.
On unstable (coming in a day or so):
* When incoming events reference an 'nevent' in their content, and gossip doesn't already have that event, it immediately tries to fetch it from the relays specified therein. Since this happens on incoming events, by the time you read it and click the link odds are very high the event is already in memory.
* Unstable builds have the git commit appended to the version number.

2023-03-30 01:46:56 CEST

GOSSIP has some interesting changes on master over the last week:
* You can hover on the 👁️ to see which relays an event came in on.
* You can hover over the time to see the full GMT time.
* Quote and Repost handling has been improved (over the last week or so)
* link detection improved according to NIP-27
* Optional long-form content (only showing as plain, no markdown interpretation, no composition)
* Bug fixes, styling tweaks, and internal refactors
There is no release for this, or prior work not on 0.5.x branch. The next release is at least a week out, maybe even a month.

2023-03-26 22:29:28 CEST

The 'master' branch of gossip is a stable branch. The policy for that branch is to not merge in any code that breaks it. It might break inadvertently, but we don't push half-ass commits to master. So feel free to run off of master. I (Mike Dilger) do all the time, and many others do as well.

False alarm and entirely my fault. I put the wrong version number into the windows package for 0.5.2.
To avoid confusion, there will be no 0.5.3 release, I will skip to 0.5.4 if that branch gets another patch.
