We're excited to share an update on #Fedify's development! While we're actively working on Fedify 1.9 in the main branch, we've also begun preparations for Fedify 2.0 in the next branch.

Before you get too excited about revolutionary new features, we want to set clear expectations: Fedify 2.0 will primarily focus on cleaning up technical debt that we couldn't address due to backward compatibility constraints. This means removing deprecated APIs and making breaking changes that will ultimately result in a cleaner, more maintainable codebase. Think of it as a major housekeeping release—necessary work that will make Fedify better in the long run.

Some of the planned improvements include adding readonly modifiers throughout our types and interfaces to better enforce our immutability-by-default principle, implementing our own RFC 6570 URI Template library for symmetric expansion and pattern matching, and various CLI tool migrations to our new Optique framework for better cross-runtime support. While the majority of changes will be about refinement rather than revolution, these updates will strengthen Fedify's foundation and improve interoperability across the #fediverse. You can track all planned changes in detail by checking out the Fedify 2.0 milestone on our GitHub repository.
