• Fix metadata leak for accounts and statuses on private instances.
• Fix possible DoS in Admin API search using an atom leak vulnerability. Authentication with admin rights was required to exploit.

• Breaking: Added the ObjectAgePolicy to the default set of MRFs. This will delist and strip the follower collection of any message received that is older than 7 days. This will stop users from seeing very old messages in the timelines. The messages can still be viewed on the user's page and in conversations. They also still trigger notifications.
• Breaking: Elixir >=1.9 is now required (was >= 1.8)
• Breaking: Configuration: :auto_linker, :opts moved to :pleroma, Pleroma.Formatter. Old config namespace is deprecated.

• Breaking Changed defaults for :restrict_unauthenticated so that when :instance, :public is set to false then all :restrict_unauthenticated items be effectively set to true. If you'd like to allow unauthenticated access to specific API endpoints on a private instance, please explicitly set :restrict_unauthenticated to non-default value in config/prod.secret.exs.
• In Conversations, return only direct messages as last_status
• Using the only_media filter on timelines will now exclude reblog media
• MFR policy to set global expiration for all local Create activities
