Okay, I added a plugin that allows some content to be added to profiles. For now just Location, Callsign and "Additional information". Let me know if you think we should have others. Look at my profile as an example (click "jks" at the top of this post).
The content isn't presented very optimally. It just appears at the top of the user's profile page.
I also re-enabled the "reactions" feature (i.e. adding "helpful", "awesome" to posts like we used to have).

I agree. It should work like a browser. I'll update the bug list. There was something similar on there before.

Also already on the list is the idea of having the classic A/B VFO buttons and a "band memory". So when you hop between bands using the select band menu it goes to the last selected frequency in the band instead of the mid-point, which is what it does now.

These are from a recent attempt to make a "user preferences" function work. They are required by xdLocalStorage. I tried again about 6 months ago with xdLocalStorage. More recent browser security changes mean the scheme had to be changed once again compared to work that was done some years ago. It quickly got complicated, so I had to set the work aside for the moment.
For those that don't know, user preferences would be an extension that allows you, an ordinary Kiwi user (not owner/admin), to do things like: Setting the default cw passband set to 270 Hz and have that apply to every single Kiwi you ever visit from that point onward. Or the same with keyboard shortcut bindings. Or just about any other user interface customization that could be easily added.
That, plus a real mobile user interface, are the two major missing elements of the software (besides adding an extension to decode your favorite modulation waveform).

Short version: Old behavior restored so external apps, including those using kiwiclient et al, should work as before. But Kiwi web interface uses new changes as described below.
v1.459 May 23, 2021
  Waterfall / spectrum:
    Fixed the CIC compensation added to the last release.

    Added waterfall interpolation URL parameter "wfi=N" e.g. kiwi:8073/?spec&wfi=13
    Also available as an API parameter on the waterfall web socket: "SET interp=N"
    Value N below. Add 10 to enable the CIC filter compensation.

    The value below answers the question: "What to do when multiple FFT values
    contribute to a single waterfall/spectrum pixel bin". In most cases the FFT
    is larger than the 1024 display pixels of the waterfall (or external application).

    0 take max (old and continuing server default for kiwiclient, external apps etc.)
    1 take min
    2 take last
    3 do drop sampling
    4 take cumulative moving average of values
    ...
    13 drop sampling + CIC compensation (new Kiwi browser interface default)

From the CHANGE_LOG file. Not a lot new here. Except for days of tedious checking for memory errors (buffer overruns) and memory leaks to rule out a possible cause of the Windows 10 audio problems.
v1.446 March 28, 2021
  WSPR extension:
    By request: Added 6 & 13 MHz ISM bands (UK balloon-mobile operation).
    Can restart autorun decoders via an admin page button instead of server restart.

  Windows 10 audio "popping" problem:
    Looked for memory addressing errors and leaks with the Clang address sanitizer.
    A few minor issues fixed but nothing that changes the audio problem.
    This was expected, but also had to be ruled out.

v1.445 March 24, 2021
  SNR measurement:
    Take transverter frequency offset into account.
    Display SNR value(s) on user (top bar) and admin pages (status tab).

  Added SAM PLL loop control to audio tab.
    Has a slow loop setting "DX" that can be used to better track weak stations.

v1.444 March 23, 2021
  Include two most recent SNR values in /status query. This implies all the SNR values
    for public Kiwis will be aggregated in the rx.kiwisdr.com/index.html file
    HTML comments.

  TDoA extension:
    Improved help panel contents.
    Added warning against prematurely using too many sampling stations because of
      the large number of computation timeouts we see on the server.

From the CHANGE_LOG file:
v1.437 March 6, 2021
  From Marco, IS0KYB (thanks Marco!)
    AGC threshold bar added to S-meter:
      The white bar appearing above the green S-meter bar is the AGC threshold value
      (from control panel AGC tab). The threshold dBm value can read on the
      S-meter scale in equivalent S-units.
    Passband overload mute:
      Mutes the audio when the signal level in the passband exceeds a set value.
      The value is defined by a new setting on the admin page config tab.
      When active a "!" appears in place of the mute icon on main control panel.
      Useful for example when a nearby transmitter would otherwise result in a
      loud annoying signal. Mute recovery time uses existing squelch tail setting.

  Added list of code contributors to _COPYRIGHT file.
    Work in progress. If we missed your code contribution please email us.
    We have hundreds of github issues and thousands of emails and forum posts to review.

  Typing '/' alone into frequency box will restore the passband to the default value
    for the current mode. Shortcut to shift-clicking over a mode button.
  FFT extension: add help button, URL parameters, preset for RTZ.
  Add mouseover popups to more buttons and menus on main control panel.
  Removed more references to sdr.hu

There's absolutely no need for individual Kiwi's to be downloading from there when it needs to be compiled into a compact binary form as part of a release. The list is huge and fetching it off the filesystem of the Kiwi would break the Kiwi realtime restrictions (i.e. audio failures).
I improved my own Makefile so there's less manual work to update the list.
