NodeBB v4.6.0 — Topic templating, AP fixes, SCSS updates, and more

[julian@community.nodebb.org]

We have just released v4.6.0 of NodeBB, containing fixes to our ActivityPub integration, minor fixes with SCSS, and some new functionality with topic templating.

ActivityPub Fixes

• WordPress blogs can be properly pulled into NodeBB (via their URL) now
• Fixed an error when moving a remote topic to another category
  • This also fixed the issue where moved topics didn’t update topic/post counters
• Fixed bug where NodeBB could not properly process Link headers when it contained the standalone crossorigin directive
• Notifications for replies to topics made in remote categories now show the appropriate user
• Fixed bug where remote users were not able to post to a local category if registered-users privilege was removed (now checks fediverse pseudo-user)
• Nested remote categories can now be removed from the ACP
• Remote categories can be renamed for de-duplication purposes
• Improved title generation for quote-posts

Core fixes

• Persona theme now shows hidden (zero-character) links in post content
• _variables.scss page in ACP > Appearance can now override Bootstrap variables
• A template can be provided in a category’s settings. This template is auto-populated in the composer when a new topic is being authored.
