- Allow to set a default channel for the rare case where a default channel is not selected but channels actually exist
- Support reverse magic-auth in oembed requests
- Improved handling of Mastodon feeds
- When template "none" is used in a webpage layout, then the contents of the page should be the sole output, with no other code before or after the page element content
- If there is no site record, site_dead won't be 0, in a left join it will in fact be null. As long as it isn't 1, we should attempt delivery
- Order wiki pages by creation date
- Backend infrastructure for channel protection password; which will be used to optionally encrypt export files and resolve channel/identity ownership/hijacking disputes
- Don't allow any null fields in notify creation
- Webfinger cleanup
- Envelope privacy
- We do not parse the body in discover_by_url(), so no need to preserve iframes in SimplePie
- Correct the mastodon "boost" (aka 'share') author attribution by checking for share activities and pulling the original author info from the activity:object
- Only log zot_refresh content if json decode was successful
- Revisit the import_author_zot algorithm yet again. There was one bug that we weren't returning necessary information in the first SQL query - and performance/loading problem if one tries to refresh a dead site
- Import_author_xchan - since we rarely refresh zot-info for non-connections, force a cache reload once a week to catch things like profile photo updates and location changes
- Create site_store_lowlevel() to initialise data structures for the site table

- Simplify the message signing spaghetti
- Class MarkdownSoap to safely store markdown by purifying and preserving (escaped) what may be unsafe code in codeblocks. The stored item needs to be unescaped just prior to calling the markdown-to-html processor

- Cleanup code_allowed
- Move widgets to standalone classes
- Upgrade redbasic to bootstrap 4

[This list may appear brief, but encompasses a huge amount of re-writing and re-factoring
of the internal code structure to gain long-term performance and stability and provide a standard
interface to alternate protocol federation plugins which were made possible by the UNO configuration.

(which is not possible to model or work around using other network protocols).]
