Notable Changes
Support for more Fediverse projects
FediFetcher can now fetch content from servers running Fedibird, Kmyblue, Cherrypick, and Mitra. All of these are small projects that implement already supported API flavours, so whilst they were easy to support the impact will be small. For full details see #143
Changes to robots.txt handling
FediFetcher will no longer obey the robots.txt of your home server for authenticated requests. This should theoretically allow some limited support for GoToSocial, although officially we continue to support Mastodon only. The theory being that FediFetcher acts more like a fediverse client than a scraper, and that authentication overrides robots.txt.
This does not affect requests to other instance: FediFetcher will continue to respect robots.txt when interacting with instances other than your home instance.
