*0.10.0 Released: 2023/11/12*
|
|
|
|
*0.10.1 Released: 2023/11/13*
|
|
|
|
This release is a polish release that mostly focuses on performance, stability
|
|
and federation compatibility.
|
|
|
|
This release's major changes:
|
|
|
|
* Stator, the background task system, has been significantly reworked to require
|
|
smaller indexes, spend less time scheduling, and has had most of its async
|
|
nature removed, as this both reduces deadlocks and improves performance in
|
|
most situations (the context switching was costing more than the gains from
|
|
talking to other servers asynchronously).
|
|
|
|
Minor changes also include:
|
|
|
|
* Followers-only mode now works correctly inbound and outbound (though outbound
|
|
may need the other server to refresh the profile first).
|
|
|
|
* Profile pages are no longer shown for remote identities; instead, users are
|
|
linked or redirected directly to the remote profile page.
|
|
|
|
* Inbound migration has been implemented, but is disabled by default as outbound
|
|
migration is not yet complete, and we don't want to release a system that
|
|
captures users with no outward path. If you *really* want to enable it, set
|
|
``TAKAHE_ALLOW_USER_MIGRATION=true`` in your environment.
|
|
|
|
* Federation compatibility has been improved with several other servers.
|
|
|
|
* Blocked domains now receive absolutely zero fetches from Takahē; previously,
|
|
they were still pinged occasionally to see if they were online.
|
|
|
|
* SMTP servers that don't require authentication are now supported.
|
|
|
|
* Python 3.11 is now the minimum version required; this will not affect you at
|
|
all if you run Takahē via our docker image, as is recommended.
|
|
|
|
An automatic remote post pruning system, to shrink the database of old data
|
|
that was no longer needed, was in the development version but has been switched
|
|
to a set of manual commands as of 0.10.1 - you can read more below or in
|
|
:doc:`/tuning`.
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to help with code, design, or other areas, see
|
|
:doc:`/contributing` to see how to get in touch.
|
|
|
|
You can download images from `Docker Hub <https://hub.docker.com/r/jointakahe/takahe>`_,
|
|
or use the image name ``jointakahe/takahe:0.10``.

|
|
0.10.1
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
*Released: 2023/11/13*
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix and small feature addition release:
|
|
|
|
* The ``runstator`` command now logs its output to the terminal again
|
|
|
|
* Two new commands, ``pruneposts`` and ``pruneidentities`` are added, to enable
|
|
pruning (deletion of old content) of Posts and Identities respectively.
|
|
You can read more about them in :doc:`/tuning`.
|
|
|
|
* Stator's default concurrency levels have been significantly reduced as it's
|
|
now way more efficient at using individual database connections, but as a
|
|
result it places way more load on them. You can read more about tuning this
|
|
in :doc:`/tuning`.

Upgrade Notes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Migrations
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
There are new database migrations; they are backwards-compatible, but contain
|
|
very significant index changes to all of the main tables that may cause the
|
|
PostgreSQL deadlock detector to trigger if you attempt to apply them while your
|
|
site is live.
|
|
|
|
We recommend:
|
|
|
|
* Temporarily stopping all instances of the webserver and Stator
|
|
* Applying the migration (should be less than a few minutes on most installs)
|
|
* Restarting the instances of webserver and Stator
|
|
|
|
Stator
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Stator's new internal architecture allocates a worker thread and a database
|
|
connection up to its concurrency value; this means it is a _lot_ more efficient
|
|
for a given "concurrency" number than the old system and also uses a lot more
|
|
database connections. We recommend you reduce your configuration values for
|
|
these by 5-10x; if you didn't set them manually, then don't worry, we've
|
|
reduced the default values by a similar amount.
