Hubzilla 5.0, which will probably be released in the first quarter of 2020 (depending on developer resources), will bring another batch of interesting changes. One of them is the rewrite of the notifications system to use server sent events instead of polling (this landed in development branch about two weeks ago). There is work being done to bring pinned posts to Hubzilla (this literally landed in development branch some hours ago). We are planing to switch to the zot6 protocol as the primary communication protocol for version 5.0 - there are still some issues to be resolved before we can make this step though.
As always we would like to say Thank You! to everybody who is contributing to this project in one way or the other.
