Catodon 26.10.0-rc.1 released!
Major changes:
The bundled in-memory store is now Valkey instead of Redis. The app itself is unchanged: config keys keep their redis names and an existing Redis still works, but Redis is now an untested compatibility path rather than a supported option. Follow docs/upgrading-to-valkey.md in order: check which Redis wrote your data, drain the job queue, back up, then switch — Docker installs by renaming the service to the Valkey image, bare-metal installs via the distro's Valkey package. On Redis 7.4+ the data file cannot be reused, so notification history is lost.
Dependencies now track Misskey 2026.9.0 instead of Sharkey's: backend packages are at the versions Misskey 2026.9.0 runs, on new majors of Fastify, BullMQ 6 and the TypeORM 1 database layer, with the Node 24 image and pnpm 12 for source installs.
ActivityPub client API (client-to-server) is on by default. Apps identified by a web address can sign in and post, read and upload for authorizing accounts. Turn it off under Control Panel > Federation > Policy if unwanted.
Trending links, after Mastodon: server-side ranking, an Explore Links tab, and moderator review, with an opt-in mode to trend without prior review.
"Also discussed in": posts sharing a link are listed on the post page, alongside forum cross-posts.
Like and repost counts now match the origin for posts from Mastodon and Catodon servers.
Posts carry their language: composer picker, per-account default, federated both ways, and exposed on the Mastodon API.
Admins: BullMQ 6 needs no queue drain; Meilisearch re-indexes posts once on first start.
Full details with the stable release.
