After about 2 months of development the release of the platform for building decentralized social networks . The project provides a communication server that can be integrated with web publishing systems, equipped with a transparent identification system and access control tools in decentralized Fediverse networks. The project's code is written in PHP and JavaScript and is licensed under the MIT License.
Hubzilla supports a unified authentication system to function as a social network, forums, discussion groups, Wiki, article publishing systems, and websites. It also includes a data storage solution with WebDAV support and event handling with CalDAV support.
Federated interaction is based on its own protocol , which implements the concept of WebMTA for content delivery over the WWW in decentralized networks and offers a range of unique features, including transparent end-to-end authentication via 'Nomadic Identity' within the Zot network, as well as a cloning function to ensure fully identical entry points and user data sets across different nodes of the network. It supports communication with other Fediverse networks using the ActivityPub, Diaspora, DFRN, and OStatus protocols.
The new release mainly includes changes related to enhancing ZotVI capabilities, improving federated interaction, as well as increasing user convenience and fixing bugs. The most interesting in the new release:
- Improvements to logic and procedures when working with events in the calendar
- The translation of the new queue manager queueworker (available as an extension) from experimental to the beta testing stage
- Conversion of the unified user catalog to the ZotVI format
- Enhancement of Opengraph support for channels
- Support for additional events in the ActivityPub network interaction module has been added
It is also worth noting the beginning of work on the official standardization of the Zot protocol family within for which the process of forming a working group has been initiated .
