## changes in this version
In this version of TWBlue, which is being released several months after the previous one, we focused on adding initial support for GoToSocial-type networks. GoToSocial is a server for creating decentralized networks similar to Mastodon. Its API is very similar but retains some differences. In this version, TWBlue can be used to log into GoToSocial accounts, although there will be some features, such as the Streaming API and Markdown support, that are not yet functional. Another significant addition is support for creating community timelines, which will allow you to load the local and public timeline of remote instances. This is useful if your instance does not federate directly with them, as it will allow you to see posts from other communities and interact directly with them. Finally, the translation module has been rewritten; it now supports using LibreTranslate by default and DeepL, for which an API key is required. Below is the detailed list of changes:
* Core:
* Added Initial Support to GoToSocial. Some features are not fully implemented yet, although GoToXocial instances should be able to be used as normal sessions in TWBlue. Streaming, poll options and markdown are not supported but planned for the near future.
* The translation module has been rewritten. Now, instead of offering translations with Google Translator, the user can choose between [LibreTranslate,](https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate) which requires no configuration thanks to the [instance of the NVDA Spanish community;](https://translate.nvda.es) or translate using [DeepL,](https://deepl.com) for which it is necessary to create an account on DeepL and [subscribe to a DeepL API Free plan](https://support.deepl.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021200939-DeepL-API-Free) to obtain the API key which can be used to translate up to 500000 characters every month. The API key can be entered in the global options dialog, under a new tab called translation services. When translating a text, the translation engine can be changed. When changing the translation engine, the target language must be selected again before translation takes place.
