What's New
Read selected new features and important changes in Chetty, with unread cards marked as new. Not every release has a note; notes from the same UTC calendar day share one daily entry with separate audience cards.
The bundled changelog plugin adds What's new to the navigation at /p/changelog. Published notes arrive with a Chetty upgrade and cannot be edited on the instance. Pinned updates stay at the top.
Read an update
Choose an audience, then open a card to read its introduction and items, usually under New, Improved and Changed. Each audience has its own title and reading state. Links lead to the feature they describe.
Read Read what's new for automatic opening of unread cards, on-view reading, stable cards during a visit, language and images.
Who sees what
Human accounts can choose news for themselves and for developers; administrators also have administrator news. Developer news needs no separate developer role. Administrator titles, text and pictures are not available to other accounts. Without a signed-in account, only user news is available and reading is not saved.
Plugin items show the names of applicable plugins and are visible only when those plugins are installed, enabled and available to the account, administrators included. An audience card without applicable content is hidden and contributes no unread count; the authorized audience itself remains selectable even when empty.
Administrator actions
Open a card, then its Readers panel to see currently eligible recipients of that audience card and who has read it. Accounts that have read it appear in full colour, the others faded, with a count such as 2 of 5 have read. Reader details are available only to administrators.
To mark this audience card unread again for its recipients:
- Open What's new, select the audience and open the card.
- Open Readers and choose the action to mark the card unread.
- Confirm the reset. Only this card in this audience becomes unread for its recipients; other audiences and newer days keep their state.
A failed reset is shown as an error, not a success. The current page does not immediately mark the reset card read again; old reading requests cannot undo the reset.
Turn the plugin on or off
Administrators manage the plugin in Settings → Plugins; select it to open its detail view. Only an administrator can enable or disable it, every account can use the page without an individual grant, and the change applies after Chetty restarts. The plugin has no settings of its own.
