Fedify 1.5.0

Released on March 28, 2025.

• Improved activity delivery performance with large audiences through a two-stage queuing system. Sending activities to many recipients (e.g., accounts with many followers) is now significantly faster and uses less memory. [#220]

  • Added FederationQueueOptions.fanout option.
  • Changed the type of FederationStartQueueOptions.queue option to "inbox" | "outbox" | "fanout" | undefined (was "inbox" | "outbox" | undefined).
  • Added SendActivityOptions.fanout option.
  • Added OpenTelemetry instrumented span activitypub.fanout.
  • The ForwardActivityOptions interface became a type alias of Omit<SendActivityOptions, "fanout"> & { skipIfUnsigned: boolean }, which is still compatible with the previous version.

• A Federation object now can have a canonical origin for web URLs and a canonical host for fediverse handles. This affects the URLs constructed by Context objects, and the WebFinger responses.

  • Added CreateFederationOptions.origin option.
  • Added FederationOrigin interface.
  • Added Context.canonicalOrigin property.

• Followers collection synchronization (FEP-8fcf) is now turned off by default.

  • Added SendActivityOptionsForCollection interface.
  • The type of Context.sendActivity({ identifier: string } | { username: string } | { handle: string }, "followers", Activity) overload's fourth parameter became SendActivityOptionsForCollection | undefined (was SendActivityOptions | undefined).

• Fedify now accepts PEM-PKCS#1 besides PEM-SPKI for RSA public keys. [#209]

  • CryptographicKey now can contain a publicKey with a PEM-PKCS#1 format (in addition to PEM-SPKI).
  • Added importPkcs1() function.
  • Added importPem() function.

• The fetchKey() function became to choose the public key of the actor if keyId has no fragment and the actor has only one public key. [#211]

• Added an optional parameter with GetSignedKeyOptions type to the RequestContext.getSignedKey() method.

• Added GetSignedKeyOptions interface.

• Added an optional parameter with GetKeyOwnerOptions type to the RequestContext.getSignedKeyOwner() method.

• Deprecated the parameters of the AuthorizePredicate and ObjectAuthorizePredicate types to get the signed key and its owner in favor of the RequestContext.getSignedKey() and RequestContext.getSignedKeyOwner() methods.

  • Deprecated the third parameter of the AuthorizePredicate type in favor of the RequestContext.getSignedKey() method.
  • Deprecated the fourth parameter of the AuthorizePredicate type in favor of the RequestContext.getSignedKeyOwner() method.
  • Deprecated the third parameter of the ObjectAuthorizePredicate type in favor of the RequestContext.getSignedKey() method.
  • Deprecated the fourth parameter of the ObjectAuthorizePredicate type in favor of the RequestContext.getSignedKeyOwner() method.

• Added an optional method enqueueMany() to MessageQueue interface for sending multiple activities at once.

• Updated @js-temporal/polyfill to 0.5.0 for Node.js and Bun. On Deno, there is no change because the polyfill is not used.

• Updated uri-template-router to 0.0.17 which fixes bundler errors on Rollup. [#221]

• Improved error handling and logging for document loader when KV store operations fail. [#223 by Revath S Kumar]

• Fixed a bug of the fedify inbox command where it had failed to render the web interface when the fedify command was installed using deno install command from JSR.

• The web interface of the fedify inbox command was slightly redesigned:

  • The Fedify logo with the cute dinosaur is now displayed at the top of the page.
  • You can easily copy the fediverse handle of the ephemeral actor.

• Internalized the multibase package, which is obsolete and no longer maintained. [#127, #215 by Fróði Karlsson]
