Morphit v1.0.0-beta.8

A front-end, feeds, and operator-tooling release on top of beta.7. Every orderbook feed now comes in three formats — RSS 2.0, Atom, and JSON Feed — so any reader works, and one click on the orange RSS pill copies the feed's URL in whichever format you prefer. The home page and orderbook get a round of polish, operators running Linux Mint can now provision a node, and the ops CLI restarts the affected services for you after a config change. Recommended for all operators.

Added

  • Every feed now speaks three formats — RSS 2.0, Atom, and JSON Feed. The worldwide, per-asset, and per-trader orderbook feeds are each available as .xml (RSS 2.0), .atom (Atom 1.0), and .json (JSON Feed 1.1), all carrying identical order data — pick whichever your reader prefers. Click any orange RSS pill — in the site footer, beside a filtered orderbook, or on a trader's profile — to choose a format and copy its URL to your clipboard. The picker and its confirmation are translated into all ten languages. See the "Can I follow Morphit with RSS?" entry in the FAQ.

  • The ops CLI restarts the affected services after a change. After you edit your instance configuration or wire alternative-network (Tor / Lokinet / I2P) footer addresses, morphit-ops now offers to restart the affected services for you, so the change takes effect without having to remember the systemctl incantation. Declining leaves everything untouched.

  • Linux Mint is a supported node OS. The Ansible provisioning playbook now recognises Mint and other Ubuntu noble derivatives and provisions them correctly, rather than only bare Ubuntu. See RUN-A-MORPHIT-NODE.md.

Changed

  • A more polished home page and orderbook. "Products" are now called "goods" throughout, the home-page hero copy is tightened, "global" is now "worldwide," the home-page cards share an even height, and the wordmark's entrance animation has been retired in favour of a subtle header shine. On the orderbook, the filter dropdowns close cleanly the moment you pick an option. Updated in all ten languages.

  • The create-order form is easier to follow. The asset, currency, and payment fields now show a green focus ring as you tab through them — matching the region and "I want to see" fields — and the region field types out real place names one character at a time as a gentle hint (and stays still if you've asked your system to reduce motion).

  • A refreshed batch of FAQ answers for clarity and accuracy, across all ten languages.

Fixed

  • The per-trader feed link now points to the trader's profile. The "follow this trader" subscribe link advertised a homepage URL that no longer exists; the feed now links to the trader's /@handle page, the same canonical profile URL used everywhere else on the site.
