⚠️ If updating to this release candidate from a version below 0.17.0-rc1, there are 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 few seconds and an hour or even more (on slower hardware / big databases). Please be patient! Back up your database file before updating! ⚠️

For instructions to update to this release candidate from versions < v0.17.0-rc1, see the v0.17.0-rc1 release candidate notes, but replace v0.17.0-rc1 with v0.17.0-rc2 throughout.

If updating from 0.17.0-rc1 to this version, there's a small index update that needs to run, which should be very fast.

No config file changes between v0.17.0-rc1 and this version.
