  "name":"Release v2.4.0 of Ktistec",
  "content":"<p>I just released <a href=\"https://github.com/toddsundsted/ktistec/compare/084754a5...74f65140\">v2.4.0 of Ktistec</a>. This release encompasses a few things that I've been working on for a while: <em>improved support for operating without JavaScript available/enabled</em> and <em>support for running scripted automations</em>.</p><p>Except for a few items, Ktistec now works without JavaScript. Obviously, things like WYSIWYG editing of HTML don't work—I plan to add support for Markdown to compensate. Running in Lynx is a stretch, but...</p><figure><img src=\"https://epiktistes.com/uploads/bb711d0a/dc67/4a37/1.png\" width=\"1518\" height=\"1170\"><figcaption>lynx on osx displaying the authenticated home page</figcaption></figure><p>Since the early days, most controller actions supported both <code>text/html</code> and <code>application/json</code>.  I cleaned up support for the latter and have officially documented the Ktistec API in the <a href=\"https://github.com/toddsundsted/ktistec/blob/main/README.md#api\">README</a>.</p><p>In addition, I've added support for running bots/automations (<a href=\"https://epiktistes.com/objects/MhEitOe99Jo\">prior announcement</a>). The Ktistec server will periodically run any executable script in the <code>etc/scripts</code> 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.</p><p>Here's the full changelog:</p><p><strong>Added</strong></p><ul><li>Support running scripted automations.</li><li>\"Fetch Once\" button on hashtag and thread pages. (fixes <a href=\"https://github.com/toddsundsted/ktistec/issues/108\">#108</a>)</li><li>Support navigation to a post's threaded view. (fixes <a href=\"https://github.com/toddsundsted/ktistec/issues/108\">#108</a>)</li><li>Add support for post name and summary.</li></ul><p><strong>Fixed</strong></p><ul><li>Improve support for operating without JavaScript available/enabled.</li><li>Only enforce CSRF protection on \"simple\" requests.</li></ul><p><strong>Changed</strong></p><ul><li>Replace use of multi-action controller with <code>formaction</code>.
