Upgrade Notes

VAPID keys and Push notifications

Takahē now supports push notifications if you supply a valid VAPID keypair as the TAKAHE_VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY and TAKAHE_VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY environment variables. You can generate a keypair via https://web-push-codelab.glitch.me/.

Note that users of apps may need to sign out and in again to their accounts for the app to notice that it can now do push notifications. Some apps, like Elk, may cache the fact your server didn't support it for a while.
