Bookface 2.0 Releases!
New year, new Friendica, new Bookface!
DOWNLOAD FOR FRIENDICA 2026.01 & 2025.07-rc
DOWNLOAD FOR FRIENDICA 2024.12
If you're a server admin who is still running the previous Friendica stable 2024.12 and were pulling Bookface from either the "main" or "stable" branches of the repo please be aware those are now targeting the new stable version 2026.01, which will not work with the previous stable version. There is now a separate 2024.12 branch in the repository.
Please note that the Userstyles version has not been updated with 2.0 changes and that project is now archived. Those stylesheets will receive no further development or maintenance updates. If you're still on an instance that doesn't have the Bookface scheme available the version for Friendica Release Candidate 2025-07-rc does work with stable 2026.01.
Okay, so what's IN it? The most noticeable change in v2.0 is that the User Menu and Notifications have been moved to the far right in the desktop layout:
Also, the Search field expands on focus to make it easier to see what you are typing, and if navigation labels are enabled alignment issues with them have been fixed, as has the alignment of the buttons themselves.
When you open the User Menu now your user name appears with your avatar at all screen sizes. Some people have multiple accounts that use the same avatar and it could get confusing as to which account they were logged into when, at some screen widths, the username would disappear due to space constraints.
There has long been an alignment issue with Event Action Buttons if the label text was too long because they were absolutely positioned. They have been changed to a flex layout now, which also increased the space for the buttons above them:The release for 2026.01 has a dozen changes and fixes. The release for 2024.12 has nearly two dozen. See the Changelog at the end of the ReadMe file for details.
