Release Notes for ActivityPub Application 1.7.1

Last modified by Vincent Massol on 2021/04/06

This is the release notes for ActivityPub Application 1.7.1.

This is a bugfix release that fixes an issue discovered on ActivityPub Application 1.7 where the handling of unknown ActivityPub object types was making the deserialization fail.

The consequence for the users includes the impossibility to follow users from some instances of the Fediverse (for instance, some Mastodon servers).

New and Noteworthy (since ActivityPub Application 1.7)
