Release v3.7.0 of Ktistec

I started to work on algorithmic feeds but was side-tracked by interoperability work. No complaints. It turned out to be a productive detour.

Here's the full changelog for release v3.7.0 of Ktistec:

Added

• Support FEP-2c59: Discovery of a Webfinger address from an ActivityPub actor.
• Support ActivityPub Update activities for actor profile changes.

Fixed

• Disambiguate reblog IDs from status IDs. (fixes #151)
• Correct the quote_policy mapping to public/nobody values.
• Ignore malformed pagination parameters instead of raising.
• Treat "cannot be reconnected" errors as connection failures.
• Infer a media attachment's type when mediaType is missing.
• Faster, case-insensitive, actor username lookups.
• Faster statuses_count using an approximate count.

Changed

• Resolve JSON-LD contexts by matching their digest against a bundled copy.

The first version of algorithmic feeds won't be very algorithmic—it will let you create a feed that filters by keywords, hashtags, and mentions. That covers a lot of ground for me personally, and lays the groundwork for future enhancements.
