Miniflux

✨ New Features

• Keep only metadata of removed entries to reduce database size.
• Removed entry status is now immutable and cannot be changed back to unread or read status.
• SVG favicons are now minified before storing them in the database.
• Added support for resizing WebP images.
• Main menu now includes icons.
• Added Progressive Web App (PWA) shortcuts for quick access to common actions.
• Added direct link to the Apache 2.0 license on the About page.
• Feed-level webhook URLs now take priority when saving entries.
• New option: POLLING_LIMIT_PER_HOST to limit concurrent requests per host. Limits the number of concurrent requests to the same hostname when polling feeds. This helps prevent overwhelming a single server during batch processing by the worker pool.
• Added a rewrite rule to remove useless heading images on Phoronix articles.
• Use Golang’s built-in VCS feature to get commit and build date when not specified by LDFLAGS.
• Disable OAuth2 and WebAuthn routes when the feature is not enabled.
• Added request URI logging in authentication handlers.

🛠 Fixes

• Limited tsvector indexing to the first 500K characters to avoid PostgreSQL limits.
• Use rel=apple-touch-icon instead of rel=apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png.
• Fixed broken WebAuthn error alert message on the settings page.
• Reverted SameSiteStrict cookie mode because it forces people to authenticate each time when using the PWA on Android.
• Prevent stale data by forcing reload when navigating back from articles (fix for Chrome’s bfcache).
• Fixed URL detection capturing newlines in media descriptions.

⚡ Performance Improvements

• Optimized SQL queries (FetchJobs, markFeedAsRead) by removing unnecessary joins and heavy-weight operations.
• Improved memory usage by minimizing SVGs, static images, and templates.
• WebAuthn script (webauthn.js) is no longer loaded when the feature is disabled.
• Replaced regex-based YouTube and Invidious video ID extraction with URL parsing.
• Introspect the translation files at load time.
• Parse and merge filters only once per refresh.

🔧 Refactoring & Internal Changes

• Extensive refactoring across UI, templates, storage, and fetcher to simplify code and reduce memory allocations.
• Replaced interface{} with any (Go 1.18+ idiomatic usage).
• Reorganized JavaScript code: simplified functions, reduced duplication, and modernized handlers.
• app.js bundle and service worker files are now loaded as a JavaScript module.
• Use request builder in media proxy handler.
