================
This is a minor feature and security improvement version from version
0.6.1 (release 6 Oct 2008). Notable features of version 0.6.2 include:
0.6.2 (release 13 Nov 2008). Notable features of version 0.6.3 include:
- Notice inboxes have been added. This is a big database change
that will allow a more robust messaging model in the future; for
now, it is an optimization that speeds up some queries.
- Posted URLs are automatically shortened; users can choose their
preferred url shortening service.
- Support SUP protocol
(http://code.google.com/p/simpleupdateprotocol/) for quicker updates
to FriendFeed (http://friendfeed.com/).
- Tag streams now have an RSS feed.
- CSRF protection for posting notices and logging in. This closes
the "Version 0 API" used initially for identi.ca and supported
until September 30, 2008.
- Slightly broadened the layout of default and Identi.ca themes to
accommodate more verbose (non-English!) languages' interfaces.
- Replies made through the Web site will refer to the clicked-on
message.
- enjit queue handler.
- Experimental theme for iphone use.
- Various internationalization scripts and updates.
- Better UTF-8 escaped entity handling in API.
- Better handling of since_id and before_id parameters in API.
- Better heuristics for when to include a closing parenthesis in a link.
- Handle multi-byte-encoded @-replies from XMPP through Twitter bridge.
- Better handling of read-only requests in API, to allow using
replicated mirror servers.
- A lot of common code factored out of default and identi.ca themes;
default theme now much more functional.
- 'Invite-only' mode for closed sites.
- Some undocumented features in Twitter API user/show.
- Favorites flag in API for statuses.
- 'nudge' functionality to tell a user that they're missed.
- Links to related RSS/Atom feeds on all pages.
- Favor/disfavor icons changed to images.
- Better checks to prevent remote subscribing to a local user, causing
"ghost profiles" (dupes in people search or subscriptions lists).
- Twitter friend sync. Users who set up their Twitter accounts will
be automatically connected to other local users who have Twitter
accounts and who they're subscribed to on Twitter.
- List view of subscriptions/subscribers.
- Subscribe/unsubscribe button on subscriptions/subscribers list.
- Optionally hide certain users from the public stream.
- Give public area a few more tabs.
- Add Featured users tab to public area.
- Add Most favorited notices tab to public area.
- Users can give themselves tags.
- Users can tag their subscribers or subscriptions.
- Users can send @-replies to tagged subsets of their contact list
using @#tag.
- Subscribe/unsubscribe with Ajax form.
- Post notice with Ajax form.
- Script to optionally add notice inboxes for only some users.
- Incremental caching of notice streams using memcached.
- Use cached favorites info to avoid excess DB hits for faves.
- Optionally use Sphinx Search for notice search.
- Optionally use Sphinx Search for people search.
Because of the CSRF fixes in particular, this upgrade is recommended
for all Laconica sites.

to MySQL or Postgresql fulltext search. You will also need a
Sphinx server to serve the search queries.
You will almost definitely get 2-3 times better performance from your
site if you install a PHP bytecode cache/accelerator. Some well-known
examples are: eaccelerator, Turck mmcache, xcache, apc. Zend Optimizer
