Changelog

Every version, in the open

Every released version is listed here, one after another, with no gaps. The version served by the running application is shown in the footer and in the chat sidebar — it always matches what is deployed.

How numbering works: it is a flat counter that started at 0.1.0. Every release adds one to the last number (0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.2 and so on). The number is served by the application and is never hardcoded into the interface.

  1. v0.1.1510 September 2026

    Private circles are by request

    Channels
    • Private circles can no longer be filled by an operator invitation. As a member you send a request with a message, and the operator accepts or declines
    • The operator is notified when a request arrives, and you are told as soon as it is decided
    • If your request is declined, you can ask the same circle again after 24 hours
    • Operators can no longer invite people on their own, and there is no user search
  2. v0.1.1410 September 2026

    A help page

    Help
    • New Help page with everything a new account needs: joining channels, private circles, how long messages last, presence, mentions, limits and moderation
    • It is always available, so anyone can open it again at any time
    • Removed the first-run popup and the behind-the-scenes state it needed
  3. v0.1.1310 September 2026

    No broken page after an update

    Fixes
    • If ReTalkia is updated while it is open, the page reloads itself once instead of showing an error — including the Try again button
  4. v0.1.1210 September 2026

    Internal

    Internal
    • Added an admin preview of the first-run screen, then removed it in the same session because it caused confusion. Listed so the version sequence has no gap
  5. v0.1.1110 September 2026

    Internal

    Internal
    • The build refuses to ship if a public page is missing from sitemap.xml, and names the route that is missing
    • Covers every public page, including all public channels served from the database
  6. v0.1.1010 September 2026

    Chat fixes

    Fixes
    • Opening the chat no longer flashes an empty state before the messages arrive
    • The not-in-any-channel screen can no longer appear while the channel list is still loading
    • Corrected the retention wording in the empty-channel message
  7. v0.1.910 September 2026

    First-run card fixes

    Fixes
    • The card appears only while you are in no channel, never for admins, and disappears once you join one
    • Removed a step that could never register, and a link that took you out of the chat
    • Corrected the retention wording: an older message is deleted together with its voice audio
  8. v0.1.810 September 2026

    Card on the chat screen too

    Fixes
    • The first-run card now also appears on the chat screen, not only on the channel directory
  9. v0.1.710 September 2026

    Onboarding and empty states

    New accounts
    • New accounts get a short Get started checklist: join a channel, say hi, and the essentials in three lines
    Empty states
    • Every screen that can be blank now says what it is, why it is empty and what to do next
    • Operators see No pending join requests instead of the section silently disappearing
    • Loading, filtered-empty and truly-empty are three different states
  10. v0.1.610 September 2026

    All disks in the health panel

    Fixes
    • The admin health panel now lists every real filesystem instead of a fixed pair of paths — the second drive that holds backups and uploads was missing
  11. v0.1.510 September 2026

    Dark dropdowns

    Fixes
    • Dropdowns now match the dark interface instead of the browser's light menu
    • They work with arrow keys, Enter and Escape
  12. v0.1.410 September 2026

    Internal

    Internal
    • Dark color-scheme hint for browser controls. It did not fix the dropdown, so 0.1.5 replaces it
  13. v0.1.310 September 2026

    Admin health panel

    Admin
    • The server tab shows CPU, memory, disk, database connections and backup status
    • Service health for web, backend, Caddy and PostgreSQL
    • Every value is pushed live — no page refresh, no polling
  14. v0.1.210 September 2026

    Roadmap wording

    Fixes
    • Removed a leftover line about prices and availability — ReTalkia is free and has nothing to sell
  15. v0.1.110 September 2026

    Privacy and short-lived by design

    Messaging
    • Text and voice messages, voice up to 3 minutes with inline playback
    • Each channel keeps only its newest 50 messages. Older ones are deleted for good, together with their voice audio
    • Voice audio is also removed 24 hours after it is sent — the message stays, the recording does not
    • Private chats are wiped once both sides go offline
    Trust
    • Permanent channel bans — no unban, no public ban list
    • Disposable-email blocklist and duplicate-registration protection
    • Argon2id password hashing, HttpOnly sessions, TLS + HSTS
    For operators
    • Admin health panel pushed live
    • A clear empty state on every screen that can be blank
    Platform
    • PWA — installable with an offline shell, no native app needed
    • Email: account activation, sign-in codes and password reset
    • Database backups and automatic migrations on every deploy
    • Public feature requests (/features), roadmap (/roadmap) and this changelog
  16. v0.1.0before 10 September 2026
