Updated qua.name to release 0.17 0.17.1 0.17.2 of writefreely

August 10, 2026

I've updated the instance to revision f7008dc which is release 0.17 of writefreely.

The upstream announcement has all the details on the changes.

UPDATE2: There was an another upstream release, basically fixing the same problem, there was no blog entry (yet), but https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/releases/tag/v0.17.2 has the info.

UPDATE: There was a new upstream release very quickly, see: https://blog.writefreely.org/version-0-17-1

The most important change is the fix of an issue where erroneous registrations were possible on a site which works with invitations (like we do). That has luckily been fixed and the thousands of spam registrations have been cleared.

It has been a while since we upgraded, so it's nice to see all new features land on Qua.name as well. Not all features have been enabled (like subscribe by email), but once they do we will post about it. We came from version 0.14 so it might be worth reading the upstream release notes for 0.15 and 0.16 as well.
