(Created page with "<languages/> <translate> <!--Infobox deliberately left out because it messes with the categories--> The Streams repository contains the latest generation of free, open-source, decentralised, nomadic Fediverse server software. It was created in October of 2021 as a fork of Roadhouse which has an ancestry that leads all the way back to Special:MyLanguage/What is Friendica?|Frien...") |

Around 2018, about three years after Hubzilla had been forked from the perpetual development project [[Special:MyLanguage/Red Matrix]], experience with [[Special:MyLanguage/Nomadic identity|nomadic identity]] had shown that the way this feature was implemented in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Zot and Nomad|Zot]] protocol was lacking. Zot needed further development, but this couldn't be done on Hubzilla, also because advancing it meant cutting off most or all non-nomadic connections. | Around 2018, about three years after Hubzilla had been forked from the perpetual development project [[Special:MyLanguage/Red Matrix|Red Matrix]], experience with [[Special:MyLanguage/Nomadic identity|nomadic identity]] had shown that the way this feature was implemented in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Zot and Nomad|Zot]] protocol was lacking.

So [[Special:MyLanguage/The Zotlabs projects|a whole number of new projects]] was created, all leading back to the Red Matrix and mostly past Hubzilla, and all with their set of features and external connections drastically reduced in comparison to Hubzilla or to the Red Matrix shortly before the Hubzilla fork. By and by, they led to new versions of Zot, [[Special:MyLanguage/Zot and Nomad#Zot6|Zot6]] which introduced the single-sign-on system [[Special:MyLanguage/OpenWebAuth]] in 2018, [[Special:MyLanguage/Zot and Nomad#Zot8|Zot8]] which re-introduced an improved integration of [[Special:MyLanguage/ActivityPub]] in ca. 2019 and finally Zot11, re-named [[Special:MyLanguage/Zot and Nomad#Nomad|Nomad]], in 2021. The latter was first tested on Roadhouse. | So [[Special:MyLanguage/The Zotlabs projects|a whole number of new projects]] was created, all leading back to the Red Matrix and mostly past Hubzilla, and all with their set of features and external connections drastically reduced in comparison to Hubzilla or to the Red Matrix shortly before the Hubzilla fork.

Shortly later, Nomad was considered ready for prime-time. So Roadhouse was forked once again into deliberately nameless code that was declared a stable release and uploaded to a repository named Streams. At the end of the same year, everything else that had come after Hubzilla was discontinued, and administrators of still existing instances were advised to do the fairly easy cross-grade to the Streams repository. | Shortly later, Nomad was considered ready for prime-time.
