ntfy server v1.25.2

Released June 2, 2022

This release adds the ability to set a log level to facilitate easier debugging of live systems. It also solves a production problem with a few over-users that resulted in Firebase quota problems (only applying to the over-users). We now block visitors from using Firebase if they trigger a quota exceeded response.

On top of that, we updated the Firebase SDK and are now building the release in GitHub Actions. We've also got two more translations: Chinese/Simplified and Dutch.

Features:

  • Advanced logging, with different log levels and hot reloading of the log level (#284)

Bugs:

  • Respect Firebase "quota exceeded" response for topics, block Firebase publishing for user for 10min (#289)
  • Fix documentation header blue header due to mkdocs-material theme update (no ticket)

Maintenance:

  • Upgrade Firebase Admin SDK to 4.x (#274)
  • CI: Build from pipeline instead of locally (#36)

ntfy iOS app v1.1

Released May 31, 2022

In this release of the iOS app, we add message priorities (mapped to iOS interruption levels), tags and emojis, action buttons to open websites or perform HTTP requests (in the notification and the detail view), a custom click action when the notification is tapped, and various other fixes.

It also adds support for self-hosted servers (albeit not supporting auth yet). The self-hosted server needs to be configured to forward poll requests to upstream ntfy.sh for push notifications to work (see iOS push notifications for details).

Features:

  • Message priority support (no ticket)
  • Tags/emojis support (no ticket)
  • Action buttons support (no ticket)
  • Click action support (no ticket)
  • Open topic when notification clicked (no ticket)
  • Notification now makes a sound and vibrates (no ticket)
  • Cancel notifications when navigating to topic (no ticket)
  • iOS 14.0 support (no ticket, PR#1, thanks to @callum-99)

Bugs:

  • iOS UI not always updating properly (#267)

ntfy server v1.24.0

Released May 28, 2022

This release of the ntfy server brings supporting features for the ntfy iOS app. Most importantly, it enables support for self-hosted servers in combination with the iOS app. This is to overcome the restrictive Apple development environment.

Features:

  • Regularly send Firebase keepalive messages to ~poll topic to support self-hosted servers (no ticket)
  • Add subscribe filter to query exact messages by ID (no ticket)
  • Support for poll_request messages to support iOS push notifications for self-hosted servers (no ticket)

ntfy iOS app v1.0

Released May 25, 2022

This is the first version of the ntfy iOS app. It supports only ntfy.sh (no selfhosted servers) and only messages + title (no priority, tags, attachments, ...). I'll rapidly add (hopefully) most of the other ntfy features, and then I'll focus on self-hosted servers.

The app is now available in the App Store.

Tickets:

Thanks:

ntfy server v1.23.0

Released May 21, 2022

This release ships a CLI for Windows and macOS, as well as the ability to disable the web app entirely. On top of that, it adds support for APNs, the iOS messaging service. This is needed for the (soon to be released) iOS app.

Features:
