when you add new functionality to old code, do you also identify and accumulate a hundred little fixme's to nearby code... or is it just me...?

do you save the changes up for a final cleanup pass or make the changes then and there? do you put each fix into its own commit?

i'm running a ~6 hour pair programming, test-driven development session for our dev team. i feel like too few organizations ever pause forward production and invest in training/practice.

Release v2.4.0 of Ktistec

I just released v2.4.0 of Ktistec. This release encompasses a few things that I've been working on for a while: improved support for operating without JavaScript available/enabled and support for running scripted automations.

Except for a few items, Ktistec now works without JavaScript. Obviously, things like WYSIWYG editing of HTML don't work鈥擨 plan to add support for Markdown to compensate. Running in Lynx is a stretch, but...

Since the early days, most controller actions supported both text/html and application/json.聽 I cleaned up support for the latter and have officially documented the Ktistec API in the README.

In addition, I've added support for running bots/automations (prior announcement). The Ktistec server will periodically run any executable script in the etc/scripts directory. These scripts have access to the Ktistec API and can post, follow, share, like, etc. This is experimental and obviously introduces an attack surface, though that shouldn't be a problem on correctly configured hosts.

Here's the full changelog:

Added

  • Support running scripted automations.
  • "Fetch Once" button on hashtag and thread pages. (fixes #108)
  • Support navigation to a post's threaded view. (fixes #108)
  • Add support for post name and summary.

Fixed

  • Improve support for operating without JavaScript available/enabled.
  • Only enforce CSRF protection on "simple" requests.

Changed

  • Replace use of multi-action controller with formaction. (fixes #101)

Other

  • API usability improvements.
