#Mitra v2.9.0
https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra/releases/tag/v2.9.0
https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra-web/releases/tag/v2.9.0
Highlights:
- Generating Ed25519 keys for all accounts (in preparation for FEP-8b32 activation).
- Send notification to admin when a new user is registered.
- Legacy identity proofs are greyed out on profile page and a small button is displayed that triggers re-verification. In the near future Mitra will stop accepting legacy identity proofs (FEP-c390 identity proofs were implemented in 1.28.0 / 2023-06-26).
- Added "Federated" timeline (aka TWKN). Currently visible only to admins.
@silverpill Congratulations! This sounds like a big step forward!
@benpate Thank you!
Ed25519 keys, in particular, is indeed a significant development, although in some sense it is only the first step towards the goal of data and identity portability, after almost two years of discussions and experiments.
Does that mean Mitra accepts a POST signed with a eddsa-jcs-2022 DataIntegrityProof? If yes, I should probably add it verify.
I want to encourage people to switch to Ed25519 keys after all, and get rid of obsoleted / outdated drafts.
