v0.10.0-rc1

Hello hello hello, here's a cheeky release candidate for version 0.10.0 of GoToSocial!

We did quite a bit of refactoring and tidying up in this version, which is neato, but we also added a couple new features of course...

Highlights

• LISTS: this has been one of the most frequently requested features for GoToSocial since forever, so we're happy to be able to include it now! With this release, you can create lists, delete lists, add/remove accounts from lists, and view list timelines in your client app. It works pretty OK!
• Partial search implementation: previously, you could only use search to look for exact URLs (https://example.org/users/someone) or to look for users by their exact namestring (@[email protected]). With this release, you can now also do partial text searches for:
  • statuses you've posted yourself (search in status content warning and body)
  • statuses posted in reply to you (search in status content warning and body)
  • accounts you don't yet follow (search in username and display name)
  • accounts you do follow (search in username, display name, and bio)
• Profile field settings: you can now set up to 6 profile property/value fields in the settings panel.
• Loads of bug fixes. We fixed some of the more annoying/longstanding bugs including missing profile + header pics, please see the section 'First run of media cleanup' below.

Migration notes

Upgrading

To upgrade to 0.10.0-rc1 from a previous release:

Binary/tar

1. Stop GoToSocial
2. Untar the new release, including the web assets and html templates.
3. Edit your config.yaml file as necessary (see below).
4. Start GoToSocial

Docker

1. Stop GoToSocial.
2. Pull the new docker container (superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:0.10.0-rc1 or superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:latest)
3. Start GoToSocial.

config.yaml

The configuration file has changed since the previous release. You can see a diff of the config file here: v0.9.0...v0.10.0-rc1#diff-c071e03510b2c57e193a44503fd9528a785f0f411497cc75841a9f8d0b1ac622

Database Migrations

This release contains several database migrations which will run the first time you start up this new version. Be sure not to interrupt this migration process. This will take anywhere between a couple seconds and ten minutes (on slower hardware). Please be patient!

First run of media cleanup

The first time your instance runs a media cleanup (normally at midnight every night), it will likely take a long time. We introduced some issues in 0.9.0 to do with avatars + headers, and the first media cleanup you do in this new version fixes those issues by iterating through all your stored media attachments and fixing ones whose file is missing. Just let it run, it will sort itself out!

Full Changelog: v0.9.0...v0.10.0-rc1

v0.9.0 Spicy Sloth 🌶️

HELLO! The sloth has landed! Repeat, the sloth has landed! Introducing v0.9.0 of GoToSocial, aka Spicy Sloth!

This release was fun to work on, and we hope you enjoy using it! The project is slowly and steadily maturing and getting better 🌞

Big thank you to all contributors, folks who opened issues, instance admins who let us know weird stuff was happening, people who seem to like the code, and people who give us money to write the code!

Highlights

• PROFILE FIELDS will now be federated. This means you can set key/value fields on your profile, just like other Fedi softwares already have, and they will federate in and out properly! It may take up to 2 days to start seeing fields on remote profiles, be patient ;)
• Kickass new layout for web view of profiles, including fields!
• Initial support for request tracing (https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/blob/main/docs/configuration/observability.md)
• "subscribe" to an account you follow to receive notifications when they create a new post! (AKA 'click the bell' functionality.) Very useful for catching posts of followed accounts who don't post very often.
• Automatic remote status refetching to get up-to-date replies + edits.
• Performance improvements for message sending: you can now configure the rate at which messages will be federated outwards, better spacing out CPU usage and avoiding issues with rate-limiting.
• Lots of caching performance improvements; things should feel generally snappier.
• Suspend accounts from right within the admin panel by clicking through from reports.
• We added a whole bunch of trans rights to the code 🏳️‍⚧️ The code has so much trans rights in it now. If you don't like trans rights, you won't like this code.

v0.9.0-rc1

HELLO! This is the first release candidate for version 0.9.0 of GoToSocial!

v0.8.1 Even More Scurrilous Sloth

Hello! Cheeky small bugfix release. 0.8.0 accidentally broke bookmarks on Postgres and this fixes that, thanks @handlerug !

Migration Notes

Upgrade from 0.8.0

Easy upgrade, no database migrations.

There are two small typo fixes in the example config.yaml file, so you may need to make these changes in your config.yaml too. See here: fd3bf92

Binary/tar

1. Stop GoToSocial
2. Untar the new release, including the web assets and html templates.
3. Edit your config.yaml file as necessary (see below).
4. Start GoToSocial

Docker

1. Stop GoToSocial.
2. Pull the new docker container (superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:0.8.1 or superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:latest)
3. Start GoToSocial.

Upgrade from prior to 0.8.0

Follow instructions for updating to 0.8.0 (https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/v0.8.0), but replace version numbers with 0.8.1 instead.

Detailed Changelog

• 4dbf9a2 [bugfix] fix small config typos (#1707)
• 0744477 [bugfix] Fix the bookmarks list API endpoint returning an empty array (#1700)

v0.8.0 Scurrilous Sloth

Hello hello! Guess what! It's time! Time for what, you say? Time for the scurrilous sloth to emerge from his tree and federate posts to all and sundry!

(In other words: this is the latest release of GoToSocial!)

We're really proud of this one, it adds some cool new stuff, and fixes a bunch of annoying bugs and performance hiccups.

Highlights of this release:

• Redesign of the settings/admin navigation bar.
• Email test endpoint + email notifications for reports.
• Pinned posts!! You can now pin and unpin posts, and your server will fetch pinned posts from remote profiles too. May take up to 48 hours to update pinned posts when they change, hang in there.
• Many performance improvements + better caching.

v0.7.1 Even Stormier Sloth

Hello hello! This is a small bugfix release for Stormy Sloth!

Highlights:

• /about page
• new postgres installations actually work now
• png thumbnails preserve transparency
• oob token requests will redirect to the correct page, showing the token
• small api fixes to make 'role' property on accounts more mastodon-api compatible
• don't perform storage cleanup on startup (should alleviate issues where people were having to wait three minutes for their instances to start up)
• code is now 90% gayer and anti-capitalister

Migration notes

v0.7.0 Stormy Sloth

Hello everyone! After much testing and prodding and poking, we're ready to release v0.7.0 Stormy Sloth into the world!

This is the umpteenth alpha release of GoToSocial (we stopped counting), and it brings a massive amount of new stuff, fixes, and tweaks.

Thank you for your continued support, and enjoy the release!

Release Highlights

• Basic video support (mp4 only). You can finally upload videos, and view videos from remote instances too. Not all mp4 files work, currently -- this is something we'll investigate for next release most likely.
• Support for federating reports in and out of GoToSocial, and viewing reports via the admin settings panel (this feature was sponsored by NLnet).
• Support for webp attachments, avatars, and headers.
• Users can now create, remove, and view status bookmarks!
• Domain blocks now apply on a wildcard basis, so you can block a second level domain (like example.org) and it will apply to subdomains too (like poop.example.org etc).
• HTTP request throttling -- only a certain number of http requests are served at a time now. This should vastly improve responsiveness under load on small instances.
• Much better logic for pruning old avatars + headers, leading to gb of disk space savings.
• So many bug fixes and performance improvements.

Migration notes

Upgrading

To upgrade to 0.7.0 from a previous release:

Binary/tar

1. Stop GoToSocial
2. Untar the new release, including the web assets and html templates.
3. Edit your config.yaml file as necessary (see below).
4. Start GoToSocial

Docker

1. Stop GoToSocial.
2. Pull the new docker container (superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:0.7.0 or superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:latest)
3. Start GoToSocial.

config.yaml

The configuration file has changed since the previous release. We recommend copying the new file from example/config.yaml and pasting values into it from your previous config.yaml. You can see a diff of the config file here: v0.6.0...v0.7.0#diff-c071e03510b2c57e193a44503fd9528a785f0f411497cc75841a9f8d0b1ac622

Database migrations

This release contains several database migrations which will run the first time you start up this new version. Be sure not to interrupt this migration process. This will take anywhere between a couple seconds and ten minutes (on slower hardware). Please be patient!

Sqlite format changes

0.7.0 now uses SQLite's WAL journal mode by default. This means there will be some new SQLite related files in your GoToSocial directory:

• sqlite.db-shm
• sqlite.db-wal

When you do SQLite backups, you should back these files up too (you do have backups, right?).

If you use Postgres rather than SQLite, you can ignore this.

Updating from 0.7.0-rc2

0.7.0-rc2 was slightly broken. If you're getting lots of 'not found' errors for avatars and headers, after running 0.7.0-rc2, see here for steps to fix it: #1505

If you skipped over rc2, ignore this :)
