Changes for version 1.903 - 2026-06-26
- Open Graph metadata tags are now generated for any post that has an associated image (its own, or the blog-wide fallback image), whether or not the blog configures a "facebook_id". This makes link previews work out of the box on Discord, Slack, Mastodon, and other services that read Open Graph data.
- Twitter Card support is no longer scaffolded or documented. The "twitter_id" directive still works, but it has been removed from the sample configuration file, since Open Graph metadata already drives link previews on X as well as everywhere else.
- The "plerdall --init" success message now points to the configuration file's real location (conf/plerd.conf), rather than a nonexistent path in the working directory's root.
- Fixed a test whose expected result depended on the local time zone, causing spurious failures when the suite ran anywhere west of US Eastern.
- Revised and refreshed the README documentation.
