📣 **Release:** yarn v0.15 - Phosphorus Phoenix
Hello Yarners! 🤗
It's again been a long while since our Last Release yarnd v0.14 over ~6 months ago! 😳 Sorry about that! 🙏 I guess we got a bit busy with a few other things going on...
First of all a big thanks to everybody who has given all of their time and effort to help Yarn.social become a better platform every day.
A _special_ thanks to our new contributors @tkanos and @eaplmx who recently started contributing to the project! Thank you! 🙏
Without further ado, here are the highlights for the 0.15 release!
## Highlights
- **Twtxt Search Engine** -- The much improved Twtxt Search Engine
- **NEW** Sync API 🥳 (see below)
- Add Block Quote button to the Postbox.
- Add official "Feed Types" (see below)
Its a bit of a small(ish) release with no that many "big" new features (sorry!) mostly just bug fixes and little improvements. So if you're curious please see the full Change Log below.
### Twtxt Search Engine
The **much improved** Twtxt Search Engine is out which improves the index greatly, performance and overall functionality and UX.
Help pages have been improved and overall searches are "just better".
Check it out!
### Sync API
For a long time we've talked about the possibility of "syncing" a local feed with your feed on a Yarn.social pod. This is now possible with a 3-way Sync API `/api/v1/sync` and a sub command of the `yarnc` command-line client. Usage is as simple as:
```console
$ yarnc sync twtxt.txt
```
See `yarnc sync --help` and the [Sync API () API endpoint documentation for more details.
### Feed Types
In order to better improve the code and manageability of different feed types such as automated feeds (bots) and RSS / Atom feeds, we have defined a set of Feed Types namely:
- `rss` -- A Twtxt feed whose primary source comes from an RSS / Atom feed.
- `bot` -- A Twtxt feed which is fully automated by some script or automation.
These are the **only** feed types currently and we do not expect any more really. The way this works is ti simply add `# type = rss|bot` to your feed if the feed you are publishing is a non-human/non-user feed. Omitting the `type` Metadata is completely fine and optional. The default for all feeds is a User / Human feed.
This helps us categorize and filter out noise feeds, automated feeds from views like the "Discover" view on Yarn.social pods and serve as a way to "filter" for these types of feed in the Twtxt Search Engine.
