Hello again!!

Sorry for the big delay in the announcements. I know it has been a long time I have not made any announcements, but I will try my best next time this doesn't happen again.

So, through the medium of this post I would like to share with you all the v1.15.0 major release version of the websurfx project which was released on the 25th of March.

If you are new, and you don't know what is websurfx then I would suggest taking a look at my previous post here:

https://programming.dev/post/2678496

Which covers in depth about what the project is and why it exists.

Credits

Before I share with you the changelog, what this release version means and a preview on what we are planning to work on for the next major release v2.0.0. I would first like to thank all our contributors and maintainers because of whom this was all possible. Specially I would like to thank spencerjibz, ddotthomas and evanyang1 who have been invaluable to the project. Also, Websurfx would not have been possible without alamin655 and xffxff early involvement.

Thanks πŸ’– to all the people involved in the project

Now, let's dive straight into what this release version actually means.

What does this release version means

This new release version v1.15.0 introduces the new ranking algorithm for search results on the search page which ranks the results based on the relevancy to the user's search query.

Changelog

The changelog of all the changes can be found here:

  • Even more engines will be supported.
  • Categories would be added to search results like images, news, etc.
  • More themes will be provided by default
  • More animations for the websurfx frontend will be supported.
  • Multi language support would be added.
  • I2p and tor support will be provided.

@neon_arch@programming.dev I think that a couple of lines explaining what websurfx is would be useful to a lot of users, instead of point them to another post.

Ok sure, thanks for the suggestion, I would make the change as soon as possible. Also, next time, I would make sure to provide a brief description with the release announcement.
