## ntfy server v2.0.0 (UNRELEASED)
This is the biggest ntfy server release I've ever done. This release adds the ability to sign-up for accounts, log-in
via the web app, synchronize accounts between devices (web only for now), introduces user access tokens, user tiers,
and Stripe payments integration to support paid tiers (don't worry, [everything will stay open source](https://ntfy.sh/docs/faq/)).
This is the biggest ntfy server release I've ever done 🥳 . Lots of new and exciting features.
**Bug fixes + maintenance:**
**Brand-new features:**
* **User signup/login & account sync**: If enabled, users can now register to create a user account, and then login to
the web app. Once logged in, topic subscriptions and user settings are stored server-side in the user account (as
opposed to only in the browser storage). So far, this is implemented only in the web app only. Once it's in the Android/iOS
app, you can easily keep your account in sync. Relevant [config options](config.md#config-options) are `enable-signup` and
`enable-login`.

<a href="../../static/img/web-account.png"><img src="../../static/img/web-account.png"/></a>
</div>
* **Topic reservations** 🎉: If enabled, users can now **reserve topics and restrict access to other users**.
Once this is fully rolled out, you may reserve `ntfy.sh/philbackups` and define access so that only you can publish/subscribe
to the topic. Reservations let you claim ownership of a topic, and you can define access permissions for others as
`deny-all` (only you have full access), `read-only` (you can publish/subscribe, others can subscribe), `write-only` (you
can publish/subscribe, others can publish), `read-write` (everyone can publish/subscribe, but you remain the owner).
Topic reservations can be [configured](config.md#config-options) in the web app if `enable-reservations` is enabled, and
only if the user has a [tier](config.md#tiers) that supports reservations.

</div>
* **Access tokens:** It is now possible to create user access tokens for a user account. Access tokens are useful
to avoid having to paste your password to various applications or scripts. For instance, you may want to use a
dedicated token to publish from your backup host, and one from your home automation system. Tokens can be configured
in the web app, or via the `ntfy token` command. See [creating tokens](config.md#access-tokens),
and [publishing using tokens](publish.md#access-tokens).

<a href="../../static/img/web-token-list.png"><img src="../../static/img/web-token-list.png"/></a>
</div>
* **Structured logging:** I've redone a lot of the logging to make it more structured, and to make it easier to debug and
troubleshoot. Logs can now be written to a file, and as JSON (if configured). Each log event carries context fields
that you can filter and search on using tools like `jq`. On top of that, you can override the log level if certain fields
match. For instance, you can say `user_name=phil -> debug` to log everything related to a certain user with debug level.
See [logging & debugging](config.md#logging--debugging).
* **Tiers:** You can now define and associate usage tiers to users. Tiers can be used to grant users higher limits, such as
daily message limits, attachment size, or make it possible for users to reserve topics. You could, for instance, have
a tier `Standard` that allows 500 messages/day, 15 MB attachments and 5 allowed topic reservations, and another
tier `Friends & Family` with much higher limits. For ntfy.sh, I'll mostly use these tiers to facilitate paid plans (see below).
Tiers can be configured via the `ntfy tier ...` command. See [tiers](config.md#tiers).
* **Paid tiers:** Starting very soon, I will be offering paid tiers for ntfy.sh on top of the free service. You'll be
able to subscribe to tiers with higher rate limits (more daily messages, bigger attachments) and topic reservations.
Paid tiers are facilitated by integrating [Stripe](https://stripe.com) as a payment provider. See [payments](config.md#payments)
for details.
**ntfy is forever open source!**
Yes, I will be offering some paid plans. But you don't need to panic! I won't be taking any features away, and everything
will remain forever open source, so you can self-host if you like. Similar to the donations via [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/binwiederhier)
and [Liberapay](https://en.liberapay.com/ntfy/), paid plans will help pay for the service and keep me motivated to keep
going. It'll only make ntfy better.
