# Changelog
|
||
|
||
## Unreleased
|
||
|
||
Changes made since the project forked from Soapbox in April 2024.
|
||
|
||
### Major changes
|
||
|
||
- Switched to a separate library [`pl-api`](https://codeberg.org/mkljczk/pl-fe/src/branch/develop/packages/pl-api) for Mastodon API integration. It is mostly written from scratch, inheriting minor code parts from Soapbox/Mastodon. This also comes with improved compatibility with various Mastodon API extensions and abstracts out the implementation details.
|
||
|
||

||
|
