I just realized that some features like "Collections" are not available in other Kbin instances nor in Mbin when in theory they all use 0.10.1.
Is the source outdated?
I believe mbin stopped merging kbin changes, probably either when they had their fallout with ernest where he pushed unfinished code that caused issues, or when he started his refactoring which I've seen some mbin contributors dislike because it requires changes on their side too.
Either way, there's definitely features missing on mbin that I know are in the kbin source, like the sort options on profiles. Collections are definitely there too.
when in theory they all use 0.10.1
First of all, there's no way this is true for mbin. It's a fork, it has its own versions.
Fedidb says most instances of mbin (on its first page of instances) use version 1.5.3, though kbin.melroy.org uses 1.6.0.
But also, hasn't kbin been 0.10.1 since forever even before ernest added all the new features? I don't think that version string means much if anything.
one of the reasons i jumped to mbin was actual versioning. to me it highlights the maturity of this particular development process, and kbin seems haphazard at best. also the communication coming out of the kbin dev group is basically non-existent and the kbin.social server management has been set to ron popeil.
We don't really know. Supposedly it is, ernest just isn't pushing the code to codeberg, instead keeping it locally. He has mentioned before he's going to push the latest changes (though he never did that), so it sounds like there do exist changes not reflected on the repository yet. But I have no idea how things went since then.
Yeah, it’s been a while since Ernest has posted anything, and I don’t think he has uploaded any new code in a while. I wonder if there was a roadblock somewhere?
Ernest also said he was having health issues so I hope he’s doing okay.
