• Gossip v0.13.0 is the latest major release that implements File Metadata support (NIP-92 / NIP-94), Blossom support (BUD-01, BUD-02), Recommended Application Handlers (NIP-89) support, relay search (NIP-50), undo for note sends, followers and followed view on the person page, and numerous other enhancements.

What's new

• File Metadata support (NIP-92 / NIP-94):
  • Meta data in incoming events is utilized, including testing the hash,
    and displaying a placeholder blurhash (until the event loads);
  • Attached files get imeta attachments when posting including url,
    metadata (m), hash (x), size, dim, and blurhash;
  • Failed media loading now shows why.
• Blossom support (BUD-01, BUD-02):
  • Can attach local images and/or videos to your notes, which get uploaded
    to your blossom server;
  • Synchronizes with your nostr-saved blossom configuration, and you can
    edit that.
• NIP-89 Support - Recommended Application Handlers:
  • Gossip collects recommendations published by your contacts;
  • These become menu options for opening events;
  • You can disable any of them you don't want;
  • You can recommend these to your friends;
  • You can import a new handler (published by an application developer);
  • Support is only for 'web' handlers.
• Search on relays (NIP-50):
  • You must choose your search relays first.
• Followers and Followed:
  • On the Person page, you can view who someone follows, and who follows
    them (including for yourself);
  • Computing who follows them is expensive and inaccurate.
• Undo Send - for 10 seconds (or whatever you configure) you can undo sending.
• Thread replies now sorted by date, except author replies come first.
• Cancelling a draft asks if you are sure, so misclicks don't erase your
  carefully crafted manifesto.
• Inbox indicator showing how many messages are waiting.
• Feeds no longer inject new events and scroll while you are trying to read.
  Instead, you will get a "Show New Updates" link to press when you are ready.
• Every feed has it's own separate "include replies" switch now.
• Relays can now be tested to see whether they are fit for purpose.
• Zap amount can now be typed in (or slid with a slider).
• Support for pubkey hints in 'e' and 'q' tags.
• Support for 'E' and 'A' tags and kind 1111 Comments (NIP-22).
• Font update to support more unicode codepoints.
• NIP-46 replies with NIP-44 encryption if the client used it.
• NIP-44 encryption now used for private contacts and private lists.
• FFMpeg 7.1 support.
• Relay URLs now rendered as links to the relay config page.
• build.sh script to help users choose features when compiling.
• New command line commands: delete_by_kind, disable_relay.
• Subscription batching for naddr searches.
• Database compacting reduced to once per week, and handles out of space error.
• Some theme color changes.
• Relay scoring adjusted.
• Likes and zaps data updated more frequently than before.
• Default relays for new users have been tested and updated.
• Many fixes.
