Summary of changes shipped in the v0.6 milestone.

API

"Match all" semantics for multi-value filters. Subject and object filters now support requiring all values to match, not just any. (#146)
Default sort by postDate. API responses are now ordered by user-declared post date by default. (#171)
LINK-type octothorpes carry terms. Link-type relationships can now attach hashtags to the triple itself, not only to the linked page. (#118)
Pages without terms still index. Indexing requests for pages that have no octothorpes or statements no longer drop silently. (#100)
Complex endpoint refactor. Reworked the slowest API endpoints to eliminate timeouts. (#136)
API release candidate. v0.6 is the first release-candidate API surface. (#119)
API explorer + punchdown. Added a built-in explorer UI and closed out the advanced-API punchdown list. (#113, #110)

Badge image triggers indexing. Loading https://{server}/badge?uri=... indexes the page — no fetch or form needed. (#159)
Remote harmonizer support in production. Non-default, third-party harmonizers can now be referenced and run on the production server. (#143, #116)
Unverified-indexing flags. Added flags that allow indexing requests outside the standard verified-origin path. (#157)
Harmonizer textContent is trimmed. Whitespace-only differences no longer produce phantom values. (#137)
JSDOM selector case fix. CSS selectors targeting HTML tags now match regardless of source casing. (#162)
postProcess split results flatten correctly. Arrays produced by split rules are no longer nested. (#163)

button type added. OP vocabulary now models the badge/button relationship explicitly. (#179)
User-declared postDate. Vocabulary captures author-supplied dates separately from index time. (#170)
Lowercase link type. Link is now link, matching every other type. (#117)

Web Component factory on the server. OP servers ship a generated set of components (<octo-thorpe>, <octo-backlinks>, <octo-badge>, <octo-multipass>, <octo-multipass-loader>). (#169)
Hosted backlinks component. <octo-backlinks> is now served from the OP server alongside the others. (#40)
postDate shown in UI. Result cards display the user-declared date. (#172)
Webring search RSS links fixed. Explore-page RSS for webring queries now resolves correctly. (#153)
Updated JSON-API hint on thorpe pages. The "get this as JSON" message reflects the current API. (#130)

Membership at backlink time. A page joins a webring as soon as a qualifying backlink is created, regardless of which page type is being viewed. (#122)
/get/pages/in-webring simplified. The query was reworked after the original design proved more complex than necessary. (#129)

Indexing logic extracted to indexing.js. Route handler is now a thin HTTP adapter; validation and pipeline live in one module. (#182)
