OpenPeeps release · 6 Aug 2026

In the product

What members, moderators, and admins see

Unread and push

• The web app shows responsive unread indicators and keeps the PWA badge in sync with push.
• The native app tracks unread messages and posts more reliably.
• Toggling push no longer hangs; errors are shown instead of a frozen switch.
• Stale VAPID subscriptions are cleared before the browser resubscribes.

Jams, posts, and groups

• Jam footer controls stay visible; audience search is themed for dark mode.
• Jam recordings keep working after the Postgres move (edge ids and updates).
• Direct messages still open when an author has been deleted: the profile is shown as anonymized.
• Group cards can be selected in admin-style lists. Event locations and ICS files resolve more accurately.

Session and chrome

• Expired sessions refresh the JWT earlier and send people to login instead of a dead SPA.
• PWA navigation is more predictable. Open Graph tags include the community name.
• Privacy policy copy is updated.

In the platform

APIs, runtime, plugins, and operations

PostgreSQL

• The default database is PostgreSQL. Arango import normalizes UUID case, legacy edge ids, hashtags, and post-import counts.
• Concurrent migrators cannot drop the schema mid-import. A wiped public schema or leftover Drizzle journal can be healed and remigrated.
• Post filters use Drizzle. Conversation leaves sort by creation date.

Auth, config, and jams

• When sign-ups are closed, register can still run for capability-scoped invites.
• SERVER_MAX_PROFILES caps non-deleted profiles. Admin config PATCH merges instead of replacing the whole document. Empty-string overrides are omitted.
• LiveKit rooms get instanceDomain. Observer service JWTs no longer bounce to login. Jam-started emails work for event posts.
• Admins can delete groups through a role-gated endpoint.
