<title>New release: FlatPress 1.4 "Notturno"</title>

<p><a title="Image: NASA" href="https://www.flatpress.org/fp-content/images/2025-05-30_notturno.jpg" class="bbcode-popup" data-width="1200" data-height="1200"><img src="https://www.flatpress.org/fp-content/images/.thumbs/2025-05-30_notturno.jpg" alt="2025-05-30_notturno.jpg" class="floatright" width="200" height="200" loading="lazy"></a>After quite some testing, we finally released <strong>FlatPress 1.4 “Notturno”</strong>.</p>
<p>The general look and feel of FlatPress 1.4 hasn’t changed too much compared to 1.3 - it’s all the small details that were improved:
<ul>
<li>With an updated Smarty template engine, FlatPress now supports <strong>PHP up to 8.4</strong>.
</li>
<li><strong>Numerous useful enhancements</strong> made it into FlatPress, such as as freely choosable blog author name, the ability to change the Admin credentials more easily, or the removal of unwanted metadata from uploaded images.
</li>
<li>We <strong>fixed quite a lot of bugs and possible security issues</strong> (thanks to all the reporters!).
</li>
<li>Since the PhotoSwipe plugin became the default for displaying images, the old <strong>LightBox plugin was removed</strong> - you still find it in our <a class="externlink" title="Go to https://github.com/flatpressblog/flatpress-extras" href="https://github.com/flatpressblog/flatpress-extras">FlatPress Extras repository</a>.
</li>
<li>The newly added <strong>GDPR Video embed plugin</strong> provides a simple two-click solution for GDPR-compliant embedding of YouTube, Facebook and Vimeo videos.
</li>
</ul>
<p>Please see the release information on GitHub to find the detailed change log, a download package and an update package from FlatPress 1.4:

<title>Twitter, you used to be cool 🙄</title>
<link>https://www.flatpress.org/2025/04/04/twitter-you-used-to-be-cool-%f0%9f%99/</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[
<p>Hi folks, you may or may not have noticed that <strong>we essentially stopped using Twitter</strong>.</p>
<p>What used to be a cool and open-minded place in the beginning, refreshingly free and almost a bit anarchistic, has turned into profit-driven attention machine. One may be fine with the ubiquitous advertising, well, someone has to pay the server bills! But do you <em>really</em> like being force-fed content by “the algorithm” that Twitter wants you to see? Instead of content from the accounts you follow yourself? An algorithm, by the way, that is in no way neutral, and is constantly being manipulated to promote content of, say, a certain Mr. Musk?</p>
<p>None of this fits in at all with the <a class="externlink" title="Go to https://wiki.flatpress.org/doc:flatpress:about" href="https://wiki.flatpress.org/doc:flatpress:about">principles of the FlatPress blogging engine</a> and the <a class="externlink" title="Go to https://wiki.flatpress.org/doc:flatpress:aboutproject" href="https://wiki.flatpress.org/doc:flatpress:aboutproject">values of the FlatPress project</a>. Consequently, we finally discontinued our social media activities on Twitter.</p>
<p><strong>But who needs Twitter anyway?</strong> <a href="https://www.flatpress.org/2021/03/28/flatpress-is-now-on-mastodon-%f0%9f%90/" title="https://www.flatpress.org/2021/03/28/flatpress-is-now-on-mastodon-%f0%9f%90/" class="entrylink">Since 2021</a>, the FlatPress project is part of the Fediverse! You find us at Mastodon:
<ul>
<li><a class="externlink" title="Go to https://fosstodon.org/@flatpress" href="https://fosstodon.org/@flatpress">https://fosstodon.org/@flatpress</a>
</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’d like to stay up-to-date, just follow us there, fave, boost, and spread the word.</p>
<p>And if you happen to still be active on Twitter, you might want to join us in leaving greedy “big tech” and starting over in a free, open-minded and non-commercial environment.</p>
<p>Or to say it with our last tweet:</p>
<blockquote><p>Twitter used to be cool 🙄</p>
<p>Wanna do better? Follow us to the elephant! 🐘<br>
<a class="externlink" title="Go to https://followtheelephant.flatpress.org" href="https://followtheelephant.flatpress.org">https://followtheelephant.flatpress.org</a></p></blockquote>
<p>All the best,<br>
Arvid</p>
