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 (@someone@example.org). 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!
