0.8
===
*Released: 2023/02/19*
This release is mostly a collection of small feature improvements and bugfixes,
with one important **security fix** over 0.7 as well. This security fix has led us
to release 0.8 ahead of some planned big features landing; those will land in
future releases.
While we will disclose the nature of the security issue at a future date, all
installations are recommended to upgrade to 0.8 as soon as possible.
Features:
* Poll support
* Full support is only available via client apps for now; the web interface
only shows polls in a read-only mode.
* Following CSV import and export (Mastodon-compatible format)

* You can also export your followers as a CSV, but this cannot be imported
2023-02-19 21:47:47 -08:00
* User assignment in domain create/edit screen
Other fixes and improvements include:
* Posts can now be edited from client apps
* Hashtag link handling fixes when viewed on Mastodon
* Significant speed improvements to background jobs (Stator)
* Boost federation fixes
* Emoji federation improvements
* Intitial Ivory API compatability fixes; we're working on a few more.
* New API system (``django-hatchway``) allows more API compatability with media/post creation
* The system DNS resolver is now used for proxying files

Upgrade Notes
-------------
Migrations
~~~~~~~~~~
There are new database migrations; they are backwards-compatible, so please
apply them before restarting your webservers and stator processes.
Two of the migrations involve adding large indexes and may take some time to
2023-02-19 21:50:25 -08:00
process (on the order of minutes) if you have a large database.
You may wish to bring your site down into
2023-02-19 21:47:47 -08:00
a maintenance mode before applying these to reduce the chance of lock conflicts
slowing things down, or causing request timeouts.
