So I am likely going to do a minor release in the coming week or so. This won't have anything to do with bringing us up to Mastodon v4. It will be some bugfixes and feature tweaks, and then also, nerdily but importantly, changing how we do semantic versioning.

Basically even though I think I am doing semver the "right" way, it is not in line with how most of fediverse does it, and this makes it harder for 3rd party apps to detect when a server runs Hometown.

Ultimately this comes down to changing the versioning string for "Hometown version 1.0.8, synchronized with Mastodon 3.5.5" from

1.0.8+3.5.5

to

3.5.5+hometown-1.0.8

I still cringe a little to look at it but I understand that it'll help other projects and I really want as much 3rd party Hometown support as possible.

As usual: please don't ask why I have decided to do it this way or propose alternatives until you have read the Github thread which contains the rationale.
