Hello hello! Guess what! It's time! Time for what, you say? Time for the scurrilous sloth to emerge from his tree and federate posts to all and sundry!

(In other words: this is the latest release of GoToSocial!)

We're really proud of this one, it adds some cool new stuff, and fixes a bunch of annoying bugs and performance hiccups.

Highlights of this release:

• Redesign of the settings/admin navigation bar.
• Email test endpoint + email notifications for reports.
• Pinned posts!! You can now pin and unpin posts, and your server will fetch pinned posts from remote profiles too. May take up to 48 hours to update pinned posts when they change, hang in there.
• Many performance improvements + better caching.

Migration notes

Upgrading

To upgrade to 0.8.0 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:0.8.0 or superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:latest)
3. Start GoToSocial.

config.yaml

The configuration file has changed since the previous release. We recommend copying the new file from example/config.yaml and pasting values into it from your previous config.yaml. You can see a diff of the config file here: v0.7.1...v0.8.0#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!
