v2.11.0

This is a tiny release that fixes a database index issue that caused performance issues on ntfy.sh. It also fixes a bug in the rate visitor logic that caused rate visitors to be assigned to seemingly random topics. Nothing major this time.

❤️ Quick reminder that if you like ntfy, please consider sponsoring us via GitHub Sponsors and Liberapay, or buying a paid plan via the web app. ntfy will always remain open source.

Bug fixes + maintenance:

• Re-add database index idx_topic to the messages table to fix performance issues on ntfy.sh (no ticket, big thanks to @tcaputi for finding this issue)
• Do not set rate visitor for non-eligible topics (no ticket)
• Do not cache config.js (#1098, thanks to @wunter8)

v2.10.0

This release adds support for message templating: in the ntfy server, which allows you to include a message and/or title template that will be filled with values from a JSON body (e.g. curl -gd '{"alert":"Disk space low"}' "ntfy.sh/mytopic?tpl=1&m={{.alert}}"). This is great for services that let you specify a webhook URL but do not let you change the webhook body (such as GitHub, or Grafana).

Features:

• Message templating: You can now include a message and/or title template that will be filled with values from a JSON body (#724, thanks to @wunter8 for implementing)

That's all. Short and sweet.

v2.9.0

A small release after a long pause (lots of day job work). This release adds for larger messages and longer message delays in scheduled delivery messages. The web app also now supports pasting images from the clipboard. Other than that, only a few bug fixes and documentation updates, and a teeny tiny breaking change 😬.

⚠️ Breaking changes:

• The Rate-Topics header was removed due to a DoS issue (see #1048). This only affects installations with visitor-subscriber-rate-limiting: true, which is not the default and likely very rarely used. Normally I'd never remove a feature, but this is a security issue, and likely affects almost nobody.

Features:

• Support for larger message delays with message-delay-limit (see message limits, #1019, thanks to @MrChadMWood for reporting)
• Support for larger message body sizes with message-size-limit (use at your own risk, see message limits, #836/#1050, thanks to @zhzy0077 for implementing this, and to @nkjshlsqja7331 for reporting)
• Web app: You can now paste images into the message bar or publish dialog (#963/#572, thanks to @cmj2002 for implementing, and @rounakdatta for reporting)

Bug fixes + maintenance:

• ⚠️ Remove Rate-Topics header due to DoS security issue if visitor-subscriber-rate-limiting: true (#1048)

Documentation:

• Remove mkdocs-simple-hooks (#1016, thanks to @Tom-Hubrecht)
• Update Watchtower example (#1014, thanks to @lennart-m)
• Fix dead links (#1022, thanks to @DerRockWolf)
• PowerShell file upload example (#1004, thanks to @YMan84)

❤️ Special thanks to @wunter8 for always answering all the questions on Discord/Matrix!

v2.8.0

This release brings a handful of random bug fixes: two unrelated access control list fixes, a fix around web app crashes for languages with underscores in the language code (e.g. zh_Hant, zh_Hans, pt_BR, ...), a workaround for the Priority header (often used in Cloudflare setups), and support among others support for HTML-only emails (finally), web app crash fixes

Bug fixes + maintenance:

• Support for HTML-only emails (#690/#693, thanks to @teastrainer and @CrazyWolf13 for reporting)
• Fix ACL issue with topic patterns containing underscores (#840, thanks to @Joe-0237 for reporting)
• Fix ACL issue with order of read/write rules (#914/#917, thanks to @sandman7920)
• Re-add tzdata to Docker images for amd64 image (#894, #307)
• Add special logic to ignore Priority header if it resembles an RFC 9218 value (#851/#895, thanks to @gusdleon, see also #351, #353, #461)
• PWA: hide install prompt on macOS 14 Safari (#899, thanks to @nihalgonsalves)
• Fix web app crash in Edge for languages with underline in locale (#922/#912/#852, thanks to @imkero)

Additional languages:

• Finnish (thanks to @Seppo)

v2.7.0

This release ships Markdown support for the web app (not in the Android app yet), and adds support for right-to-left languages (RTL) in the web app. It also fixes a few issues around date/time formatting, internationalization support, a CLI auth bug.

⚠️ Furthermore, it fixes a security issue around access tokens getting erroneously deleted for other users in a specific scenario. This was a denial-of-service-type security issue, since it effectively allowed a single user to deny access to all other users of a ntfy instance. Please note that while tokens were erroneously deleted, nobody but the token owner ever had access to it. Please refer to the ticket for details. Please upgrade your ntfy instance if you run a multi-user system.

Features:

• Add support for Markdown formatting in web app (#310, thanks to @nihalgonsalves)
• Add support for right-to-left languages (RTL) in the web app (#663, thanks to @nimbleghost)

⚠️ Security:

• Fixes issue with access tokens getting deleted (#838)

Bug fixes + maintenance:

• Fix issues with date/time with different locales (#700, thanks to @nimbleghost)
• Re-init i18n on each service worker message to avoid missing translations (#817, thanks to @nihalgonsalves)
• You can now unset the default user:pass/token in client.yml for an individual subscription to remove the Authorization header (#829, thanks to @tomeon for reporting and to @wunter8 for fixing)

Documentation:

• Update docs for Apache config (#819, thanks to @nisbet-hubbard)

v2.6.2

With this release, the ntfy web app now contains a progressive web app (PWA) with Web Push support, which means you'll be able to install the ntfy web app on your desktop or phone similar to a native app (even on iOS! 🥳). Installing the PWA gives ntfy web its own launcher, a standalone window, push notifications, and an app badge with the unread notification count.

On top of that, this release also brings dark mode 🧛🌙 to the web app.

🙏 A huge thanks for this release goes to @nimbleghost, for basically implementing the Web Push / PWA and dark mode feature by himself. I'm really grateful for your contributions.

❤️ If you like ntfy, please consider sponsoring us via GitHub Sponsors and Liberapay, or buying a paid plan via the web app (20% off if you use promo code MYTOPIC). ntfy will always remain open source.

Changes in tarball/zip naming:
Due to a change in GoReleaser, some of the binary release
archives now have slightly different names. My apologies if this causes issues in the downstream projects that use ntfy:

• ntfy_v${VERSION}_windows_x86_64.zip -> ntfy_v${VERSION}_windows_amd64.zip
• ntfy_v${VERSION}_linux_x86_64.tar.gz -> ntfy_v${VERSION}_linux_amd64.tar.gz
• ntfy_v${VERSION}_macOS_all.tar.gz -> ntfy_v${VERSION}_darwin_all.tar.gz
