Changelog

August 2026

Feed views

  • Built-in feed groups are no longer listed or updatable as feed views. listFeedViews returns only views you have created. updateFeedView and getOrCreate with view return 404 unless that view already exists. Feed reads without view still use the feed group's configuration.

July 2026

Activity and Comment Translation

  • On-demand translation for activity and comment text via POST .../activities/{id}/translate and POST .../comments/{id}/translate
  • Read-time translation projection with language and translate_text query parameters on feed, activity, and comment reads
  • Stored translations returned in the i18n object (same format as Chat message translations)

June 2026

Async Reaction Notifications

  • Reaction notification creation for activity and comment reactions now runs asynchronously in the background (June 23, 2026)
  • New response fields: notification_accepted, notification_task_id
