New features

Standalone client. Now it is possible to use Moera without installing the browser add-on. Just visit web.moera.org. While I still recommend to install the add-on, in some situations it is impossible. Besides that, the standalone client simplifies the sign-on process for newbies. If you install the add-on later, the standalone client will detect and utilize it.

If someone views your blog without a client, there is now a button "View in Web Client" on every page that activates viewing through web.moera.org.

Simplified sign-on. Creation of a blog in Moera is now done from a client and takes only one step: user enters the name and the password she wants. After that, domain creation, name registration and connection are done automatically. In the dialog it is possible to choose a provider (for now, only one exists - moera.blog). Domain creation UI at moera.blog has been turned off. web.moera.org becomes a center of sign-on for newbie users.

Mobile. You can now access Moera on a mobile device using the standalone client at web.moera.org. The user interface was fixed in many places, where it looked badly on a small screen or worked incorrectly on touch screens. Select "Add to Home Screen" from the browser's menu to add Moera icon to the main screen of your phone or tablet. Android users may install the Moera client from the Google Play store.

Push notifications. On a desktop or mobile device it is possible to turn on push notifications, that will be shown when the Moera client is closed. Press the "bell" icon in the top-right corner of the screen and select "Enable Push" at the bottom of the drop-down list. Note that the browser will ask you again whether you really want to allow push notifications.

New formatting

Smileys. Smileys like :-) or <3 are now converted to emojis on input. I've done my best to include every smiley found in various lists. Long smileys :-)))) and :-((((( are also supported. Put \ in front of a smiley to leave it as it is (for example, \:-) will stay just :-)) or you can switch smiley conversion off completely in Settings.

• Markdown is now allowed inside <details> tag. Thanks @eliduvid for proposal.
• Embedding videos from YouTube, Vimeo and PeerTube, and also posts from LiveJournal and Facebook is now allowed.

• When a shortened variant of a post is created, preformatted text formatting is not broken anymore. Thanks @eliduvid for report.
