|
|
mCaptcha supports MariaDB, I’ve applied for NLnet and Open Tech Fund,
|
|
documentation is updated: tutorials and glossary is added and glue libraries
|
|
have new releases.</em></p><h2 id=codeberg-is-deploying-mcaptcha>Codeberg is deploying mCaptcha</h2><p>Codeberg is committed to trying out mCaptcha to make their platform more
|
|
accessible: they currently use a text-based CAPTCHA, which will be
|
|
replaced by mCaptcha. The decision was finalized after I presented
|
|
mCaptcha to them at a meeting their organized. Please see
|
|
<a href=https://batsense.net/talks/codeberg-introducing-mcaptcha/>here</a> for
|
|
slides.</p><h2 id=gitea-gets-mcaptcha-support>Gitea gets mCaptcha support</h2><p><a href=https://gusted.xyz>@Gusted</a> from Codeberg is working on integrating
|
|
mCaptcha in Gitea so that Codeberg can deploy it. Please see
|
|
<a href=https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/20458>here</a> for related the
|
|
pull request.</p><p>This project is yet to see usage, so we are venturing into uncharted
|
|
territory: should you face issues with either deploying or
|
|
integrating mCaptcha, please feel free <a href=/community>to reach out</a>.</p><h2 id=mcaptcha-supports-mariadb>mCaptcha supports MariaDB:</h2><p>Codeberg uses MariaDB. To facilitate Codeberg deployment, I implemented
|
|
support for MariaDB. <a href=https://mcaptcha.org/blog/may-2022-monthly-report#refactor>The work done in
|
|
May, 2022</a> made
|
|
implementing support easy. Support for MariaDB is first class in
|
|
mCaptcha: automatic testing exist to run tests with both Postgres and
|
|
MariaDB, so I expect things to be stable.</p><h2 id=applied-for-funding-nlnet-and-open-tech-fund>Applied for Funding: NLnet and Open Tech Fund</h2><p>I’ve applied for NLnet and Open Tech Fund[0], Please find the

I
|
|
cleaned up some of the mess and added <a href=/docs/introduction/installing-captcha/>a
|
|
tutorial</a> to help folks install
|
|
mCaptcha on their website. The docs also gets <a href=/docs/terminology/access-token/>a
|

to mCaptcha jargon.</p><h2 id=new-releases-glue-libraries>New releases: glue libraries</h2><p><code>0.1.0-alpha-2</code> for
