KolofonChangelog
Kolofon's version history, release by release, straight from git — commit timestamps included. What went in, what broke, and what had to be fixed a quarter of an hour later.
Kolofon · 18 August 2026 · provisional
0.11.10 — both edges
A fix to the fix. Clamping one edge is the same fault seen from the other side.
Kolofon · 18 August 2026 · provisional
0.11.9 — measured from the window
The previous version shipped with four faults, none of them visible on a wide screen.
Kolofon · 18 August 2026 · provisional
0.11.8 — the tally in the bar
The mark for reading stops being a flash that lasts two seconds.
Kolofon · 17 August 2026 · provisional
0.11.1 — the order under the text
Poll, rating, comments — from the cheapest gesture to the most expensive.
Kolofon · 17 August 2026 · provisional
0.11.0 — a poll under the entry
Three closed questions under the text. The result appears only after you answer — and that is the whole mechanism of this element.
Kolofon · 17 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.17 — one sum of ratings
A rating does not measure the translation. The reader rates the text, so the sum is one — and the language a vote was cast in is recorded beside the vote.
Kolofon · 16 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.16 — did the instance declare everything
A forgotten key breaks no build and catches no eye. It simply puts a Polish sentence in the middle of an English page.
Kolofon · 16 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.15 — one conversation under one text
Ratings and views measure the page. A comment is about the thing the text is about — and that is one thing, whatever the translation.
Kolofon · 16 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.14 — description length as a parameter
Two hundred and twenty characters were calculated against a three-hundred limit. The sum stopped adding up when the feed itself began appending a source marker.
Kolofon · 16 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.13 — not by language, by place
“Read”, “3 minutes’ reading” and the quotation marks slipped past the previous guard, because not one of them contains a single Polish letter. Searching by language was the mistake.
Kolofon · 16 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.12 — a guard that looks for characters
The previous release did not close the matter. What remained was “provisional”, the accessibility labels and the whole consent notice — because I searched by quotation marks, and text in JSX has none.
Kolofon · 16 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.11 — the strings leave the code
The view counter, the rating block, the buttons and the validation messages spoke Polish on the English site. Thirty-five strings were sitting in the engine’s code.
Kolofon · 16 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.10 — a bar instead of a redirect
Reading the browser’s language and sending the reader where they “ought” to go is ten lines. We do not do it, and that is the whole content of this release.
Kolofon · 16 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.9 — photographs stand once
A photograph has no language. So the language versions of one site point at the same store — and what settles it is the order in which the edge serves files.
Kolofon · 16 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.8 — the instance’s language, not a hardcoded one
The English instance declared Polish in its structured data, formatted dates the Polish way and inflected nouns by the Polish plural rule. Five places where the engine assumed its mother tongue.
Kolofon · 15 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.7 — an image variant
An image service rejects photographs outside a narrow range of proportions. So the feed now takes a variant parameter and serves files prepared for a particular recipient.
Kolofon · 15 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.6 — marking the source
The feed takes a source marker in its address and appends it to entry links. The entry key stays untouched, so the archive does not go out into the world a second time.
Kolofon · 15 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.5 — the feed description
An entry's description in the feed carried only a quote. Distribution copies that field straight into the body of a post, so a post without an image never said what the entry was about.
Kolofon · 15 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.4 — a card with a glimpse
An entry card carried only a quote and looked unfinished for it. A sentence from the body joined it — and the ellipsis glued onto lines that already ended in a full stop went away.
Kolofon · 14 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.3 — a series read from the start
A numbered series arranged itself by date, so an entry added later stood ahead of the first one. A series can now declare that its number does the ordering, not the clock.
Kolofon · 14 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.2 — hiding, in two strengths
The hiding introduced in the previous release swept a series out of everywhere at once. The commoner need turned out to be weaker: the series leaves the menu, but its entries keep flowing in the stream.
Kolofon · 14 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.1 — a hidden series
A series holding one entry from six months ago stands in the navigation on equal terms with one that publishes every other day. It can now be hidden without being removed.
Kolofon · 14 August 2026 · provisional
0.10.0 — the instance mark in the header
The instance monogram had long been the icon on a phone's home screen and the favicon in a browser tab. On the site itself it appeared nowhere.
Kolofon · 14 August 2026 · provisional
0.9.9 — hide the group, not its contents
The header keeps two layouts, narrow and wide. Hiding the narrow one sat on a single element inside it rather than on the whole group — so turning the phone produced the icons twice.
