♲ @hq@pod.diaspora.software: Ohai there, friends! Sorry for the bit of silence in the last couple of months, we don't like that either, so we figured it's time to make some noise! A few moments ago, we merged the API branch into develop, which means that starting now, all pods on the develop branch support the new, fancy API!

Note that this is not a stable release yet. Until diaspora* 0.8.0.0 is officially released, this API is not considered stable, and we might change things at any time without notice to improve usability and stability. We plan on reaching a stable point once we push 0.8.0.0 into release, but we will communicate as soon as we consider the API stable. Consider it experimental until then. :)

Please do check out the API documentation https://diaspora.github.io/api-documentation/ if you want to know what you can do with the API, and how to use it. We're looking forward to your ideas, and we're curious what you will build with it.

If you had plans for an application using the API, now is a great time to start working on that. We know that we said the API is not stable yet, and that's true, but your feedback will help to improve the API and polishing it for a stable release. If you do find bugs where diaspora* does not behave like you'd expect from reading the API documentation, please file a bug on diaspora* so we can iron that out https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/issues/new. If you have an idea for an improvement or you think we should change something within the API, please open a bug on the API documentation https://github.com/diaspora/api-documentation/issues/new. For all other kinds of questions and input regarding the API, we created a new category on Discourse https://discourse.diasporafoundation.org/c/development/api, so please join us there! :)

Happy hacking!
