New version Comentario 3.5.0 is just released!
Comentario is a fast and powerful free comment server for web pages, written in Go.
What’s new
SQLite support
The most important novelty in 3.5.0 is out-of-the-box support for local, file-based SQLite database. It’s now easier than ever to try Comentario out: simply install a binary package, and it’s up and running straight away!
This will also work for a low-traffic website (it does for remark42, after all!), so you can save money and effort on running a separate PostgreSQL instance.
Unauthenticated SMTP
Username and password became optional in SMTP server settings. If not provided, Comentario will skip authentication when sending emails via SMTP.
Other changes
- Embed: redesign the profile bar (use icons instead of text labels)

- Embed: hide sort bar when there’s no comment
