Ocelot.social Pi (3.14.1) is here – Pin posts in groups
From now on, every version of ocelot.social that contains significant changes will carry a version name. We start with a name derived from the current version number.
New Feature
With ocelot.social Pi (3.14.1), group owners and administrators can now pin posts in their groups. This allows group members to immediately see important posts such as announcements and events.
This was made possible thanks to donations from our first crowdfunding campaign. A big thank you once again to our donors. You made it happen!
Bug Fixes
- The category filter now works as expected again.
- The notification settings display is correct again.
- Broken links in notification emails have been fixed.
- Information pages (imprint, privacy policy, etc.) are working again.
Under the Hood
Ocelot.social uses Vue.js version 2 as its frontend framework, which is no longer up to date. The migration to Vue 3 is very complex due to many changes between versions, but it has now been started with ocelot.social Pi.
Due to the scope and complexity, a modular approach was chosen that allows for a gradual migration. In the first step, all buttons were migrated and improved in the process.
