Gossip Release 0.10.0 ===================== Gossip is a nostr client for desktop. Gossip is open sourced at This release adds the following major features: * Nostr Connect signer: Gossip can now serve as your private key bunker using NIP-46. * Whitelist support for relays: Optionally gossip can refuse to connect or authenticate to relays until you approve (or deny) such connections. For some, this is the privacy they need to accept the outbox model. * SpamSafe: When enabled, gossip will not fetch replies from people you don't follow except from relays that you designate as SpamSafe. This helps eliminate spam. * Load More: At the bottom of the feed, you can press Load More to load more. Be aware that this is currently based on fixed time windows, not a fixed count of events. * Advertising your relay list now automatically selects relays to advertise to. * The Onboarding Wizard has many improvements * Pending Actions: We now detect and alert you to things you probably should do, like keeping lists in sync. Additionally: * Better handling of relay error conditions and reconnections * Better handling of switching between online and offline as well as shutting down * Improvements to seeking thread ancestors * Improvements to seeking notes by id and author (via the author's relay lists) * egui update bringing global cut-and-paste as well as other UX improvements. * Option to retry posting an event to relays it failed to post to earlier ('post again'). * Can start gossip in offline mode now with a checkbox on the login screen * Person-list desynchronization detection fixes * AppImage and Flatpak releases * Security fix: RUSTSEC-2023-0065 * Privacy fix: images are not shown in DMs until the user approves * MANY more fixes and improvements that are too numerious to list git tag 'v0.10.0 47aa9251d110aa23e50faf60b6509836bc9479f807d054d08742ead75f142ac3 changelog.txt e1e6149e34b95de289a08cdedda32d9b1b44544a4925d6e23980489603d772cf filter.rhai.example 41e671ea571859fc0045576376754a3455a82da5ca407173024e13c9b52e875e gossip_0.10.0-1_amd64.deb 2a6430a62e5ba9589c7abd7ec43dab263175ecd79e5d406126d9d74269be9e4f gossip-0.10.0-Darwin-arm64.dmg f8fc5356df8ad0d5ec6dab6cb1e0a2fd0fd2afecb6acbbda8d81b17ce991881b gossip-0.10.0-Darwin-x86_64.dmg 4fa6df9cd5f59ee16689bd9cd101f6a2d9dc3957556b154f04c19a393a1594b2 gossip.0.10.0.flatpak 637f04dc8d01b59d59bd2484059a497fd25376b5ab4709a02ab0787464ff74fb gossip.0.10.0.msi 66e12d013dff4340e8c0be10fba340543a20b67c4aaf5e97b8281dd69a30e5aa gossip-x86_64.AppImage.tar.gz e2860f22b4ae91017e138509f14a0c6c7e63aaae1bda7178b85020301b67cce4 LICENSE.txt 702bd583d106ed3d142f7cf92eb86a681fa93a7e46c3a1643773374694242bf2 README.macos.txt 606804b9ec41a3d5d1c9b70fc189ab5decb005adef7ab48768a979e9d8114621 README.txt
Gossip changes on the master branch: af515f98..258cdcc1 (2024-Jan-11..2024-Feb-03) * Spam Safe: new setting "Avoid spam from unsafe relays" under content. If on, replies from unknown people will only b\ e fetched from relays marked as safe. * Nostr Connect server: gossip can now serve as a Nostr Connect (NIP-46) server * [Load More] is now implemented for the inbox feed * Advertise relays are now automatically determined * Advertise now happens 10 relays at a time to not overload things * Relay "low quality" indicators * Relay list choices now also have "configured" and "hidden" * freedom: allow setting an empty password * freedom: wizard no longer forcing a minimum number of relays * security: NIP-44 post audit changes have been applied (algorithm has changed) * privacy: do not automatically show images in DMs * command: delete_spam_by_content * fix: QR rendering of encrypted notes now uses the decrypted content * fix: Spam filtering now applies to GiftWrap contents too * fix: Multiple event deletion improvements/fixes * fix: clear some ui sensitive fields that were not being cleared * fix: when relays change, their subscriptions are handled better * fix: update your own person-relay scores when editing read/write bits of a relay * fix: strategy for finding ancestors * fix: race condition in relay usage switches * refactor: identity rewrite (prep for nip46 client work) * refactor: settings cleanup All of these will be in the 0.10 release. Further plans for that release still include (but we probably won't get to all of these): * Pending action alerts * AUTH user confirmation (code is on 'auth' branch, UI is still too annoying) * search at relay * nip46 nostr connect as a client * nip46 nostr connect server to require approvals * sending giftwrap DMs * bookmarks * reposting events that didn't post the first time
I will attempt to start regularly posting changes to the gossip branches. Here is the first one, changes since 0.9 master: af515f98 * Main feeds and person feeds now have "load more" buttons at the bottom. You can configure smaller chunks in Settings > Content and then just use the "load more" buttons when needed. * Person feeds subscribe to their outbox relays (wasn't doing this right before) * Person feeds don't pull so many duplicates anymore * Relay lists are picked up better as they are included in metadata subscriptions now unstable: 5575285d * "load more" support now on inbox too. * spam filter now applies to giftwraps too (to the decrypted content) * several delete logic fixes * new command to delete spam: "delete_spam_by_content". This only deletes locally and they flow right back from the relays currently. BUT if applied to giftwrap, it deletes at the relays and remembers the delete so even if the relay didn't honor the delete, you won't see that giftwrap again. * Relay list new sort (Default) and 2 new filters (Configured, Hidden), plus Private filter fixed * Relay list: Advertise relays now determined automatically * Relay list: indicates low quality relays * Advertise relay list: Now happens in batches of 10 so that you don't open too many connections at a time.
