The Lounge finally gains the ability to automatically clean up sqlite databases.
Note that cleaning existing, large databases can take a significant amount of time
and running a database VACUUM will use up ~2x the current DB disc space for a short period.
If you enable the storagePolicy, stop the running instance and run thelounge storage clean.
This will force a full cleanup once, rather than doing so incrementally and will release all the
disc space back to the OS.
As usual, we follow the Node.js release schedule, so the minimum Node.js version required is now 18.
This is a release candidate (RC) for v4.4.2 to ensure maximum stability for public release.
Bugs may be fixed, but no further features will be added until the next stable version.
Please refer to the commit list given above for a complete list of changes, or wait for the stable release to get a thoroughly prepared change log entry.
As with all pre-releases, this version requires explicit use of the next tag to be installed:
yarn global add thelounge@next
