⚠️ The 3.5.x branch will not receive any update—including security fixes—after 2023-12-31.
⚠️ We recently released important security updates, so if you are still using a 4.2.0 pre-release, 4.1.7 or below, 4.0.9 or below, or 3.5.13 or below, please update as soon as possible (see the release notes for v3.5.14).
End of life notice
The 3.5.x branch will not receive any update after 2023-12-31.
This means that no security fix will be made available for this branch after this date, and you will need to update to a more recent version (such as the 4.1.x branch) to receive security fixes.

Upgrade notes
To get the code for v3.5.15, use git fetch && git checkout v3.5.15.
As always, make sure you have backups of the database before performing any upgrades. If you are using docker-compose, this is how a backup command might look:
docker exec mastodon_db_1 pg_dump -Fc -U postgres postgres > name_of_the_backup.dump
Dependencies
External dependencies have not changed compared to v3.5.13, the compatible Ruby, PostgreSQL, Node, Elasticsearch and Redis versions are the same, that is:
- Ruby: 2.7 to 3.0
- PostgreSQL: 9.5 or newer
- Elasticsearch (optional, for full-text search): 7.x
- Redis: 4 or newer
- Node: >= 12.22, < 18
- ImageMagick: 6.9.7-7 or newer
If your uploaded images are broken after the upgrade, it means your installed ImageMagick version is older than the new minimum version (6.9.7-7), for example if you are running Ubuntu 18.04. If this happens, you can find more information and ways to fix it on this page.
Update steps
The following instructions are for updating from 3.5.14.
If you are upgrading directly from an earlier release, please carefully read the upgrade notes for the skipped releases as well, as they often require extra steps such as database migrations.
Non-Docker only:
- Install dependencies:
bundle installandyarn install --frozen-lockfile
Both Docker and non-Docker:
- Restart all Mastodon processes
