Hello everyone, after a week or two down the release candidate mines, we've emerged blinking into the light carrying with us #GoToSocial v0.18.0 Scroingly Sloth!

https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.18.0

Please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on how to upgrade to this version. This version contains several very long migrations so you will need to be patient when upgrading, and backup your database first!!

Release highlights

Status edit support: one of our most-requested features! You can now edit your own statuses, and see instance edit history from other accounts too (if your instance has them stored).
Push notifications: probably the second most-requested feature! GoToSocial can now send push notifications to clients via their configured push providers.
You may need to uninstall / reinstall client applications, or log out and back in again, for this feature to work. (And if you're using Tusky, make sure you've got ntfy installed).
Global instance css customization: admins can now apply custom CSS across their entire instance via the settings panel.
Domain permission subscriptions: it's now possible to configure your instance to subscribe to CSV, JSON, or plaintext lists of domain permissions.
Each night, your instance will fetch and automatically create domain permissions (or permission drafts) based on what it finds in a subscribed list.
See the domain permission subscription documentation for more information.
Trusted-proxies helper: instances with improperly configured trusted-proxies settings will now show a warning on the homepage, so admins can make sure their instance is configured correctly. Check your own instance homepage after updating to see if you need to do anything.
Better outbox sorting: messages from GoToSocial are now delivered more quickly to people you mention, so conversations across instances should feel a bit snappier.
Log in button: there's now a login button in the top right of the instance homepage, which leads to a helpful page about clients, with a link to the settings panel. Should make things less confusing for new users!
Granular stats controls: with the instance-stats-mode setting, admins can now choose if and how their instance serves stats via the nodeinfo endpoints. Existing behavior from v0.17.0 is the default.
Post backdating: via the API you can now backdate posts (if enabled in config.yaml). This is our first step towards making it possible to import your post history from elsewhere into your GoToSocial instance. While there's no way to do this in the settings panel yet, you can already use third-party tools like Slurp to import posts from a Mastodon export (see Slurp).
Configurable sign-up limits: you can now configure your sign-up backlog length and sign-up throttling (defaults remain the same).
NetBSD and FreeBSD builds: yep!
Respect users prefers-color-scheme preference: there's now a light mode default theme to complement our trusty dark mode theme, and the theme will switch based on a visitor's prefers-color-scheme configuration. This applies to all page and profiles, with the exception of some custom themes. Works in the settings panel too!

Thanks for reading! And seriously back up your database.

Hiya, we just did #GoToSocial bugfix release v0.18.1, which adds ETag cache control handling to /robots.txt to make it easier for crawlers to tell which instances they should + shouldn't be indexing.

You can find the release and update notes here:

https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.18.1

If you're updating to this version from v0.18.0, it's a very easy update with no db migrations or config file changes :)

If you're updating to this version from a version before v0.18.0, please follow the update instructions from v0.18.0, but replace 0.18.0 with 0.18.1 throughout. Be aware that the update to 0.18.x contains some very long migrations. Please do read the notes carefully.

Thanks!

It looks like there's something up with GtS v0.18.x on arm64 specifically, as a few people have reported issues with not being able to start GtS on arm64 devices like the RockPro64. We'll look into a fix :) In the meantime arm64 folks: better stay on v0.17.4 for now. But if you do have GtS v0.18.1 working fine on arm64, please let us know so we have the datapoints. Thanks!

Hi everyone! We just made a bugfix release v0.18.2 of #GoToSocial:

https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.18.2

If you're updating to this version from v0.18.0 or v0.18.1, it's a very easy update with no db migrations or config file changes :)

If you're updating to this version from a version before v0.18.0, please follow the update instructions from v0.18.0, but replace 0.18.0 with 0.18.2 throughout. Be aware that the update to 0.18.x contains some very long migrations. Please do read the notes carefully.

This is hopefully the final bugfix release of 0.18.x, so you can stay on this one for a while while we work on v0.19.0 :)

Thanks for reading, happy slothing, acab, death to fascism, and if you have money to spare this month go donate it to these folks who need help
