Miniflux 2.2.12

Release date: August 20, 2025

Changes

Keep only metadata of removed entries to reduce database size.
Removed entry status is now immutable and cannot be changed back to unread or read status.
SVG favicons are now minified before storing them in the database.
Added support for resizing WebP images.
Main menu now includes icons.
Added Progressive Web App (PWA) shortcuts for quick access to common actions.
Added direct link to the Apache 2.0 license on the About page.
Feed-level webhook URLs now take priority when saving entries.
New option: POLLING_LIMIT_PER_HOST to limit concurrent requests per host. Limits the number of concurrent requests to the same hostname when polling feeds. This helps prevent overwhelming a single server during batch processing by the worker pool.
Added a rewrite rule to remove useless heading images on Phoronix articles.
Use Golang’s built-in VCS feature to get commit and build date when not specified by LDFLAGS.
Disable OAuth2 and WebAuthn routes when the feature is not enabled.
Added request URI logging in authentication handlers.

Limited tsvector indexing to the first 500K characters to avoid PostgreSQL limits.
Use rel=apple-touch-icon instead of rel=apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png.
Fixed broken WebAuthn error alert message on the settings page.
Reverted SameSiteStrict cookie mode because it forces people to authenticate each time when using the PWA on Android.
Prevent stale data by forcing reload when navigating back from articles (fix for Chrome’s bfcache).
Fixed URL detection capturing newlines in media descriptions.

Optimized SQL queries (FetchJobs, markFeedAsRead) by removing unnecessary joins and heavy-weight operations.
Improved memory usage by minimizing SVGs, static images, and templates.
WebAuthn script (webauthn.js) is no longer loaded when the feature is disabled.
Replaced regex-based YouTube and Invidious video ID extraction with URL parsing.
Introspect the translation files at load time.
Parse and merge filters only once per refresh.

Extensive refactoring across UI, templates, storage, and fetcher to simplify code and reduce memory allocations.
Replaced interface{} with any (Go 1.18+ idiomatic usage).
Reorganized JavaScript code: simplified functions, reduced duplication, and modernized handlers.
app.js bundle and service worker files are now loaded as a JavaScript module.
Use request builder in media proxy handler.

Fixed typos and updated default values in the man page.
Removed ChangeLog file (release notes are visible on GitHub and the official website - use the commit history for more details).

Added API integration tests for fetching categories with counters.
Added tests for icon URL discovery, SVG minification error handling, and version format enforcement.
Added unit tests for RequestBuilder.
Avoided building a temporary binary for integration tests.
