+The user completes the reset by opening the link in a browser and choosing a new password;

+one hour. This is an admin override of the self-service reset flow -- unlike self-service, it
+does not require the user to have a verified primary email (the token is bound to the user).
+
+With --send-email, the link is additionally emailed to the user's primary email address (this
+requires SMTP to be configured and the user to have a verified primary email).

+  ntfy user reset-pass phil               # Print a reset link for user phil

 The official ntfy.sh server uses fail2ban to ban IPs. Check out ntfy.sh's [Ansible fail2ban role](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-ansible/tree/main/roles/fail2ban) for details. Ban actors are banned for 1 hour initially, and up to
 4 hours at a time for repeated offenses. IPv4 addresses are banned individually, while IPv6 addresses are banned by their `/56` prefix.
 
+### Ban-feed
+In addition to the fail2ban setup above, ntfy can detect abusive visitors itself and write their IP
+addresses to a file for fail2ban to ban from. ntfy keeps a per-prefix weighted "strike" budget, and
+each rejected request costs strikes based on its response code -- the ntfy error code, or its HTTP
+status (see `ban-weights`) -- so different kinds of rejection can be weighted differently or exempted
+entirely. When a prefix exceeds the budget, ntfy appends the offending IP address to `ban-file`. Since
+every line is already a confirmed offender, the fail2ban jail can ban on first sight (`maxretry = 1`).
+
+- `ban-file` is the file offenders are appended to. If it is not set, the ban-feed is disabled. Its
+  parent directory must exist and be writable by ntfy. Be sure to rotate it (e.g. with logrotate and
+  `copytruncate`) so it does not grow unbounded.
+- `ban-window` is the rolling window over which weighted strikes are counted, per IP prefix.
+- `ban-threshold` is the number of weighted strikes per `ban-window` before a prefix is written to
+  `ban-file`. Each prefix has one shared budget, so it cannot be gamed by mixing error codes.
+- `ban-weights` assigns a strike weight per matcher key, formatted as `KEY:WEIGHT`. A key is an exact
+  ntfy error code (`42909`), a code family (`429*`, `403*`, `4*`), a bare HTTP status (`403`, short for
+  `403*`), or `*`. The longest matching key wins. A weight of `0` exempts a code entirely (it never
+  counts toward a ban), useful to spare a specific code from a `*` catch-all. Heavier weights ban faster. If you do not
+  include a `*` rule, any code that matches nothing defaults to weight `1` (i.e. it can be banned);
+  set `*:0` to exempt everything that is not explicitly weighted.
+
+Only rejections (4xx/5xx) count towards a ban; successful requests never do. Because the budget
+refills over `ban-window`, the trigger is a sustained rate: a prefix is only written out once it
+exceeds `ban-threshold / ban-window` rejections per second (with the defaults, `100 / 10m` = ~0.17/s).
+
+Each line in `ban-file` has the format `<RFC3339-timestamp> <ip> <prefix> <http-code> <ntfy-code>`, for example:
+

+## Flowtriq DDoS detection
+[Flowtriq](https://flowtriq.com) is a real-time DDoS detection and mitigation platform. Its Linux agent, ftagent,
+supports webhook alerts that can POST directly to an ntfy topic, so you get push notifications on your phone
+whenever an attack is detected.
+
+Configure the webhook URL in your ftagent configuration to point to your ntfy topic:
+
+```yaml
+# /etc/ftagent/ftagent.yml
+alerts:
+  webhooks:
+    - url: https://ntfy.sh/flowtriq-attacks
+      method: POST
+```
+
+You can also use curl to test the integration manually with a sample attack alert:
+
+```bash
+curl \
+  -H "Title: DDoS Attack Detected" \
+  -H "Priority: urgent" \
+  -H "Tags: rotating_light" \
+  -d "Attack detected on 203.0.113.5: 14.2 Gbps UDP flood from 3,482 sources" \
+  ntfy.sh/flowtriq-attacks
+```

 ## Terminal Notifications for Long-Running Commands

+### Install as a service
+If you want to install ntfy server permanently as a service, and your OS/distribution of choice doesn't offer a package,
+there are a few more steps to follow.
+
+Create the ntfy user and group:
+```bash
+useradd --system --home-dir /var/lib/ntfy --shell /bin/false --comment "User for the simple HTTP-based pub-sub notification service" ntfy
+```
+
+Depending on your init system, the following steps will diverge.
+
+#### On systemd systems
+Install the ntfy server unit file (which contains parameters to start the service at boot time):
+
+=== "x86_64/amd64"
+    ```bash
+    sudo mv ntfy_2.27.0_linux_amd64/server/ntfy.service /etc/systemd/system/
+    sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/ntfy.service
+    ```
+
+=== "armv6"
+    ```bash
+    sudo mv ntfy_2.27.0_linux_armv6/server/ntfy.service /etc/systemd/system/
+    sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/ntfy.service
+    ```
+
+=== "armv7/armhf"
+    ```bash
+    sudo mv ntfy_2.27.0_linux_armv7/server/ntfy.service /etc/systemd/system/
+    sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/ntfy.service
+    ```
+
+=== "arm64"
+    ```bash
+    sudo mv ntfy_2.27.0_linux_arm64/server/ntfy.service /etc/systemd/system/
+    sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/ntfy.service
+    ```
+
+Then notify systemd we have added a new service and start the service:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl start ntfy
+```
+
+#### On OpenRC systems
+Install the ntfy server service script:
+
+=== "x86_64/amd64"
+    ```bash
+    sudo mv ntfy_2.27.0_linux_amd64/server/ntfy.openrc /etc/init.d/ntfy
+    sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/ntfy
+    ```
+
+=== "armv6"
+    ```bash
+    sudo mv ntfy_2.27.0_linux_armv6/server/ntfy.openrc /etc/init.d/ntfy
+    sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/ntfy
+    ```
+
+=== "armv7/armhf"
+    ```bash
+    sudo mv ntfy_2.27.0_linux_armv7/server/ntfy.openrc /etc/init.d/ntfy
+    sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/ntfy
+    ```
+
+=== "arm64"
+    ```bash
+    sudo mv ntfy_2.27.0_linux_arm64/server/ntfy.openrc /etc/init.d/ntfy
+    sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/ntfy
+    ```
+
+Start the ntfy server service:
+
+```bash
+sudo rc-service ntfy start
+```
+
+Add the ntfy server service to the default runlevel (so that it starts at boot time):
+
+```bash
+sudo rc-update add ntfy default
+```

+If you prefer [Helm](https://helm.sh/), ntfy can be deployed using the third-party
+[HelmForge chart](https://helmforge.dev/docs/charts/ntfy), which packages the official
+`binwiederhier/ntfy` image with persistent storage, Service, Ingress, optional Prometheus metrics, and more.
+This chart is **not** maintained by the ntfy developers.
+
+!!! warning
+    The HelmForge project is young and maintained by a small community. Review the chart before deploying it,
+    and use it at your own risk.
+
+```bash
+helm repo add helmforge https://repo.helmforge.dev
+helm repo update
+helm install ntfy helmforge/ntfy
+```
+
+Alternatively, install it directly from the OCI registry:
+
+```bash
+helm install ntfy oci://ghcr.io/helmforgedev/helm/ntfy
+```
+
+Because ntfy's default SQLite storage is single-writer, run the chart as a single instance rather than
+treating it as a horizontally scalable deployment. See the [chart documentation](https://helmforge.dev/docs/charts/ntfy)
+for the full list of configurable values.

 Please check out the release notes for [upcoming releases](#not-released-yet) below.
 
+### ntfy server v2.27.0
+Released August 4, 2026
+
+This release lets you sign in with your verified email address instead of your username, which should help if you ever
+signed up with an email and then forgot which username you picked. It also hardens the message templating engine against
+a few ways a small template could eat a lot of memory, and it drops the "experimental" label from
+[PostgreSQL support](config.md#postgresql), which has been running ntfy.sh for a while now.
+
+I also did a bunch of refactoring in, mostly in preparation for being able to cluster ntfy nodes and scale the service
+horizontally. It'll be a while until then, ... baby steps.
+
+**Security:**
+
+* Limit message templates (`Template: yes`) to 32 KB, limit `printf` widths and precisions to below 1000, and limit `indent`/`nindent` to 100 spaces, preventing excessive memory use from a single small template
+* Exclude secrets from the config hash served to the web app, preventing a rather theoretical information leak
+
+**Features:**
+
+* Allow logging in with your verified primary email address (in addition to your username), so a password reset no longer leaves you unable to sign in when you only remember the email you signed up with
+
+**Bug fixes + maintenance:**
+
+* Fix Twilio phone calls and phone number verifications failing silently when Twilio rejected the request, and move the Twilio integration into its own `twilio` package
+* Move the Prometheus metrics into a dedicated `metrics` package
+* Message cache databases from ntfy older than v1.10.0 (November 2021) can no longer be migrated; upgrade via an older ntfy version first, or delete the cache database
+* Fix `user_phone` table in the SQLite user database referencing a dropped table after the v2.14 schema migration; repaired automatically by a new migration
+
+## ntfy Android v1.25.2
+Released July 23, 2026
+
+This release makes the "connection lost" alert configurable and turns it off by default. Folks did not like it and many reached out
+or even gave ntfy bad reviews. I heard you! You can re-enable the alert in the advanced settings.
+
+The release also tries to be smarter about not retrying the connection at all if the app is in flight mode, or has no network. If there
+is no network, ntfy now keeps the foreground service alive and shows a "Waiting for network" notification, then resumes automatically
+once connectivity returns.
+
+Another change related to the networking is that we now force-reconnect when the connection is changed, e.g. during transitions
+from Wi-Fi to cellular network, or vice versa. That should allow for faster transitions during hand-overs.
+
+We also increase the client-side WebSocket ping interval from 1 minute to 3 minutes, which should slightly improve battery life,
+especially when paired with increaseing the server-side `keepalive-interval` in your self-hosted server.
+
+**Features:**
+
+* Add configurable "Alert when connection is lost" setting, turned off by default ([#1665](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1665), [#1662](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1662), [#1652](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1652), [#1655](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1655), thanks to [@tintamarre](https://github.com/tintamarre), [@sjozs](https://github.com/sjozs), [@TheRealOne78](https://github.com/TheRealOne78), and [@DAE51D](https://github.com/DAE51D) for reporting)
+* Handle "no network" gracefully: when the device is offline or in airplane mode, ntfy now stops retrying, suppresses the connection-lost alert, and keeps the foreground service alive with a "Waiting for network" notification, resuming instant delivery automatically when connectivity returns ([ntfy-android#165](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-android/pull/165), thanks to [@tintamarre](https://github.com/tintamarre) for the contribution, and [#1709](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1709), thanks to [@isaitgirl](https://github.com/isaitgirl) for reporting)
+* Improve battery life by increasing WebSocket client ping interval from 1 min to 3 min, and reconnect instantly on Wi-Fi/cellular/VPN transitions ([ntfy-android#113](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-android/pull/113), thanks to [@ftilde](https://github.com/ftilde) for the investigation)
+* Disable UnifiedPush components when UnifiedPush is disabled in settings ([ntfy-android#168](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-android/pull/168), thanks to [@p1gp1g](https://github.com/p1gp1g) for the contribution)
+
+**Bug fixes + maintenance:**
+
+* Fix the "connection lost" alert briefly disappearing and re-firing when roaming between networks (e.g. Wi-Fi to cellular), by no longer cancelling it during the transient no-network gap of a handover
+* Fix the "connection lost" alert repeatedly waking the screen while a server stayed unreachable, by no longer re-posting the alert once it is already showing
+* Fix the "connection lost" alert firing late, erratically, or not at all when a connection kept dropping (e.g. a flaky server) rather than being refused outright, by tracking how long the connection has been down independently of whether the drop warrants a UI error
+* Undo automatic phone number linking for numbers in message body ([ntfy-android#170](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-android/pull/170), thanks to [@acortelyou](https://github.com/acortelyou) for the contribution)
+* Fix subscription icons disappearing after a few days due to Android clearing cache ([#1322](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1322), thanks to [@mcanning](https://github.com/mcanning) for reporting)
+* Fix UnifiedPush `failed_reason` being sent as an enum instead of a string, which caused an exception in receiving apps that read it as a string extra ([ntfy-android#182](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-android/pull/182), thanks to [@p1gp1g](https://github.com/p1gp1g) for the contribution)
+
+### ntfy server v2.26.3
+Released July 20, 2026
+
+This is a hotfix release, useful pretty much only for ntfy.sh. It was adds the ability to track abusive IPs more
+efficiently, reducing the load on the IP banning services and preventing them from falling behind and leaving abusers
+unbanned for too long. It works by tracking HTTP errors, and writing out a ban file that fail2ban can read and ban
+offenders instantly. See [ban-feed](config.md#ban-feed) for details.
+
+**Features:**
+
+* Add an abuse ban-feed: when enabled via `ban-file`, ntfy tracks a weighted strike budget per visitor and appends abusive IPs to a file that fail2ban can tail and ban on sight (`ban-file`, `ban-window`, `ban-threshold`, `ban-weights`; see [ban-feed docs](config.md#ban-feed))
+
+### ntfy server v2.26.0
+Released July 9, 2026
+
+This release hardens **message templates**, which are now executed with a hard-capped execution timeout. This closes
+a denial-of-service hole.
+
+On the web app side, it adds configurable **date and time formats**, a smoother loading and page-transition experience,
+and a fix that strips unsafe URL protocols from rendered Markdown.
+
+**Security:**
+
+* Prevent a CPU denial of service via message templates (`Template: yes`) ([#1826](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1826), thanks to [@alanturing881](https://github.com/alanturing881), [@5ud0er](https://github.com/5ud0er) and [@jvoisin](https://github.com/jvoisin) for reporting)
+
+**Features:**
+
+* Web app: Add "Date format" and "Time format" settings (Settings -> Appearance), with ISO 8601, day/month/year (slash or dot) and month/day/year date options and a 12-/24-hour clock option, and base the default format on your browser/system locale rather than the selected display language. When logged in, both settings sync across devices via your account ([#1647](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1647), thanks to [@wsw70](https://github.com/wsw70) for reporting)
+
+**Bug fixes + maintenance:**
+
+* Web app: Smooth transitions and loading animation, remove flickering
+* Web app: `GET /account` now reads from the primary database instead of a read replica, so the account view no longer shows stale data right after a change when replicas lag behind
+* Docs: Document the third-party HelmForge Helm chart as a Kubernetes installation option ([#1727](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1727), thanks to [@mberlofa](https://github.com/mberlofa))
+* Web app: Strip unsafe URL protocols (`javascript:`, `data:`, ...) from links and images in Markdown-rendered messages, so they no longer trigger an uncaught "React has blocked a javascript: URL" error (thanks to [@jvoisin](https://github.com/jvoisin) for reporting)
+
+## ntfy server v2.25.0
+Released June 24, 2026
+
+This release adds **password reset** via email, and reworks email verification to use durable,
+link-based magic links (replacing the old in-memory 6-digit codes). Email stays optional at
+signup; a user can reset their password only once they have a verified "primary" (recovery)
+email.
+
+All of this work is probably not useful for self-hosters, but it hopefully will be useful for me,
+since I do have to reset accounts on a regular basis.
+
+**Security issues:**
+
+* Generate access tokens, IDs, and magic-link tokens with a cryptographically secure RNG (`crypto/rand`) instead of a clock-seeded PRNG
+
+**Features:**
+
+* Add password reset via emailed magic link, with a "Forgot password" link on the login page and a `ntfy user reset-pass` CLI command for admins
+* Rework email verification to use durable, single-use, expiring magic links instead of in-memory 6-digit codes, and add a "primary" email (used for account recovery and as the `X-Email: yes` target) with verified/unverified state in the account UI
+* You can now clear/read messages and delete messages with a GET request ([#1771](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1771), thanks to [@lemmi](https://github.com/lemmi) for reporting and to [@wunter8](https://github.com/wunter8) for implementing)
+* Add a reload button to the web app's action bar when running as an installed PWA, which clears the service worker caches and hard-refreshes the app ([#1281](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1281), thanks to [@leanza](https://github.com/leanza) for reporting)
+* Add a "Back to app" link to the web app's login, signup, and password-reset pages (alongside the existing links), which previously had no way back to the app
+
+**Bug fixes + maintenance:**
+
+* `X-Email: yes` (also `true`/`1`) now sends to your primary verified email regardless of the `smtp-sender-verify` setting (previously it was rejected unless verification was enabled); it requires being logged in with a verified address
+* Grant users full access to their own sync topic (`st_...`) so cross-device subscription sync works under `auth-default-access: deny-all` ([#733](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/733), [#1795](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1795), thanks to [@lmorchard](https://github.com/lmorchard) for the contribution)
+* Support HTTP (non-TLS) S3-compatible endpoints by preserving the endpoint scheme, e.g. for a local MinIO instance ([#1794](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1794), [#1734](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1734), thanks to [@sskender](https://github.com/sskender) for the contribution, and [@Kernald](https://github.com/Kernald) for reporting)
+* Stop silently stripping spaces from passwords while typing in the web app's login, signup, and password-reset forms ([#1246](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1246), thanks to [@aldem](https://github.com/aldem) for reporting)
+* Update web app dependencies, including major-version upgrades to Vite (6 -> 8, now Rolldown-based), Material UI (5 -> 9), and Dexie (3 -> 4) ([#1800](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1800), [#1764](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1764), [#1767](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1767), [#1762](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1762), [#1766](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1766), [#1765](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1765), thanks Dependabot)
+* Play notification sounds in the web app even when the Notification API is unavailable, e.g. over plain HTTP or in browsers without notification support ([#1772](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1772), thanks to [@mitya12342](https://github.com/mitya12342) for the contribution)
+* Stop escaping `<`, `>`, and `&` as `\u003c`/`\u003e`/`\u0026` in JSON responses ([#1511](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1511), [#1512](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1512), thanks to [@wunter8](https://github.com/wunter8) for the contribution)
+* Fix the web app navbar not reflecting a topic reservation (lock icon, and "Reserve topic" -> "Change reservation"/"Remove reservation" menu) until a page reload, by persisting reservation and display-name changes onto already-subscribed topics during account sync
+* Reduce the web app's initial bundle size by ~300 KB (~50 KB gzipped) by lazy-loading the emoji picker dataset and the Markdown renderer, and by importing Material UI icons individually
+
+## ntfy server v2.24.0
+Released June 4, 2026
+
+The main feature for this release is an in-memory ACL cache (`auth-access-cache`) that can help bring down the read load
+on the production database. The topic authorization queries are consistently the highest ranking queries on the database,
+so this will help quite a bit. The current database load is quite low, but I'm expecting it to increase as more users join
+and use ntfy.
+
+**Security issues:**
+
+* Fix case-insensitive ACL topic matching on SQLite: an access control rule for `secret` no longer also matches a request for `SECRET`. SQLite's `LIKE` is case-insensitive for ASCII by default. PostgreSQL was unaffected. It's honestly incredible that this issue remained undetected for so long, especially while ntfy.sh was running on SQLite (it now runs on PostgreSQL).
+
+**Features:**
+
+* Add opt-in in-memory ACL cache (`auth-access-cache`) that serves topic authorization without a database round-trip; off by default, intended for high-volume servers
+* Add `ntfy --version` flag to the CLI ([#1722](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1722), [#1748](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1748), thanks to [@sskender](https://github.com/sskender) for the contribution, and [@Saucy9607](https://github.com/Saucy9607) for reporting)
+
+**Bug fixes + maintenance:**
+
+* Extend account token automatically from the PWA service worker, so installed PWAs don't get logged out ([#1669](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1669), [#1203](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1203), [#1533](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1533), thanks to [@nihalgonsalves](https://github.com/nihalgonsalves) for the contribution)
+* Fix `rel` attribute on auto-linked notification URLs so `noreferrer`/`noopener` are actually applied ([#1720](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1720), thanks to [@dmitrylyzo](https://github.com/dmitrylyzo) for the contribution)
+* Add systemd sandboxing/hardening to the `ntfy.service` unit ([#1467](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1467), thanks to [@Velocifyer](https://github.com/Velocifyer) for the contribution)
+* Fix `cmd` package build on macOS (darwin) so the server compiles from source ([#1631](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1631), [#1696](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1696), thanks to [@ShipItAndPray](https://github.com/ShipItAndPray) for the contribution, and [@XYenon](https://github.com/XYenon) for reporting)
+
+## ntfy iOS app v1.7.0
+Released May 30, 2026
+
+This release brings **image and attachment support** to the iOS app, finally closing one of the longest-standing iOS
+feature gaps. Images sent via the `Attach` header (or as a PUT body) are now previewed inline in the notification banner
+and inside the app, and other attachments can be downloaded, previewed via Quick Look, and shared from the notification
+row. There's also a new "Download attachments" setting to control auto-download by size.
+
+**Features:**
+
+* Show image previews in notifications and inline in the notification list, with tap-to-zoom Quick Look preview and share sheet ([ntfy-ios#40](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-ios/pull/40), [#276](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/276), [#1226](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1226), thanks to [@am7590](https://github.com/am7590) for the contribution)
+* Download non-image attachments on demand with progress indication, persist them locally, and reuse files already fetched by the notification service extension ([ntfy-ios#40](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-ios/pull/40), thanks to [@am7590](https://github.com/am7590) for the contribution)
+* Add "Download attachments" setting with size thresholds (Never, Under 100 KB / 500 KB / 1 MB / 5 MB / 10 MB / 50 MB, Always) to control automatic attachment downloads ([ntfy-ios#40](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-ios/pull/40), thanks to [@am7590](https://github.com/am7590) for the contribution)
+
+**Bug fixes + maintenance:**
+
+* Improve background download reliability so attachments continue downloading when the app is suspended ([ntfy-ios#40](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-ios/pull/40), thanks to [@am7590](https://github.com/am7590) for the contribution)
+* Reorganize notification and subscription views into their own folders and split out `NotificationRowView` for readability ([ntfy-ios#40](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-ios/pull/40), thanks to [@am7590](https://github.com/am7590) for the contribution)
+
+## ntfy server v2.23.0
+Released May 17, 2026
+
+**Features:**
+
+* Add per-visitor rate limit on new topic creations (`visitor-topic-creation-limit-burst` / `visitor-topic-creation-limit-replenish`, defaults 100 burst / 1m replenish) to mitigate topic-enumeration / squatting attacks that inflate the in-memory topic map
+
+**Bug fixes + maintenance:**
+
+* Remove `stacktrace-js`, `stacktrace-gps`, `humanize-duration`, and `js-base64` from the web app to reduce dependency and security footprint
+* Restrict the publish dialog's local file preview to safe image types (png/jpg/gif/webp) to prevent same-origin script execution from blob URLs when previewing a crafted SVG ([GHSA-j8hr-p342-xrmh](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/security/advisories/GHSA-j8hr-p342-xrmh), thanks to [@Venukamatchi](https://github.com/Venukamatchi) for reporting)

+## ntfy iOS app v1.6.0
+Released May 12, 2026
+
+**Bug fixes + maintenance:**
+
+* Fix crash in iOS v1.5.1 ([#1736](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1736), thanks to [@russ-who](https://github.com/russ-who) for reporting and [@am7590](https://github.com/am7590) for fixing)
+
+**Features:**
+
+* Tap a notification to open its click URL, or copy the message text if no click URL is set; inline URLs in message text are now tappable as well ([ntfy-ios#37](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-ios/pull/37), thanks to [@am7590](https://github.com/am7590) for the contribution)
+
+## ntfy iOS app v1.5.1
+Released April 27, 2026
+
+This release continues the iOS stability push from v1.4.1, with improved background polling reliability, better error
+handling and logging, and a few small UI fixes. The minimum supported iOS version is now iOS 15.
+
+**Features:**
+
+* Bump minimum iOS version to iOS 15 ([ntfy-ios#36](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-ios/pull/36), thanks to [@am7590](https://github.com/am7590) for the contribution)
+
+**Bug fixes + maintenance:**
+
+* Improve background poll reliability by waiting for polls to finish before calling the fetch completion handler, and saving notifications on the Core Data context queue ([ntfy-ios#34](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-ios/pull/34), thanks to [@am7590](https://github.com/am7590) for the contribution)
+* Make `poll_request` parsing more tolerant and surface concrete poll errors instead of failing silently ([ntfy-ios#34](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-ios/pull/34), thanks to [@am7590](https://github.com/am7590) for the contribution)
+* Poll subscriptions when the subscribed topics list appears, for more reactive updates ([ntfy-ios#34](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-ios/pull/34), thanks to [@am7590](https://github.com/am7590) for the contribution)
+* Fix bug where tapping "Add user" a second time would briefly open and then dismiss the add user view ([ntfy-ios#35](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-ios/pull/35), thanks to [@am7590](https://github.com/am7590) for the contribution)
+* Split `SettingsView` into separate files to improve readability ([ntfy-ios#35](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-ios/pull/35), thanks to [@am7590](https://github.com/am7590) for the contribution)

+
+## ntfy server v2.21.0
+Released March 30, 2026
+
+This release adds the ability to verify email addresses using the `smtp-sender-verify` flag. This is a change that is
+required because ntfy.sh was used to send unsolicited emails and the AWS SES account was suspended. Going forward,
+ntfy.sh won't be able to send emails unless the email address was verified ahead of time.
+
+**Features:**
+
+* Add verified email recipients feature with `smtp-sender-verify` config flag, allowing server admins to require email
+  address verification before sending email notifications ([#1681](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1681))
+
+## ntfy server v2.20.1
+Released March 27, 2026
+
+This is a small bugfix release that only affects high volume S3 backends that struggle with HTTP/2.
+
+**Bug fixes + maintenance:**
+
+* [Attachments](config.md#attachments): Add `disable_http2=true` S3 URL option to work around HTTP/2 stream errors with DigitalOcean Spaces and other S3-compatible providers ([#1678](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1678)/[#1679](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1679))
+
+## ntfy server v2.20.0
+Released March 26, 2026
+
+This release is another step towards making it possible to help scale ntfy up and out 🔥! With this release, you can store
+attachments in an S3-compatible object store as an alterative to the directory. See [attachment store](config.md#attachments)
+for details.
+
+!!! warning
+    With this release, ntfy will take full control over the attachment directory or S3 bucket. Files/objects in the configured `attachment-cache-dir`
+    that match the message ID format (12 chars, matching `^[A-Za-z0-9]{12}$`), and have no entries in the message database will be deleted.
+    **Do not use a directory or S3 bucket as `attachment-cache-dir` that is also used for something else.**
+
+    This is a small behavioral change that was necessary because the old logic often left attachments behind and would not clean them
+    up. Unless you have re-used the attachment directory for anything else (which is hopefully never done), this should not affect
+    you at all.
+
+**Features:**
+
+* Add S3-compatible object storage as an alternative [attachment store](config.md#attachments) via `attachment-cache-dir` config option ([#1656](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1656)/[#1672](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1672))
