Freshrss: Release candidate FreshRSS 1.16.1

[Alkarex]

Hello FreshRSS enthusiasts!
Here is a new small FreshRSS version 1.16.1, mainly addressing a couple of regressions from 1.16.0 and various bugs, but also with several new nice features, such as:

• See our new table of compatible mobile clients
• Expose podcasts in API (used by e.g. FeedMe) #2898
• Add the possibility to search/filter by feed IDs #2892
  
  
  
  • like f:123,234,345 more-search
  
  
• Reduction of bandwidth thanks to standard loading="lazy" for favicons #2962
• Reduction of memory consumption

So please go ahead and upgrade your git /master branch, or Docker image, or download an archive from master, and report any issue or comment, and also when it just works 😃

I also take the opportunity to invite you to give a star (heart) to FreshRSS on https://alternativeto.net/software/freshrss/ Thanks!

We are also pleased to see several new contributors, such as @rexbron, @BrookeDot, @equinoxmatt, @kinoushe, @krisu5, @codevbus, @Pofilo, @troyengel, @upskaling, @yzqzss ... Thank you and welcome!

Released :-) https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/releases/tag/1.16.1

[Stunkymonkey]

is it normal when checking for an update, that it still says: "Blast! No update to apply"?

[aledeg]

There is no automated process that pushes the release on the release server. We still rely on a manual action. Thus, the new git version does not mean that the release server has it. But you should see it pretty soon. Hang in there!
