Lemmy v0.7.0 Release (2020-06-23)

Breaking Change to our image server: Pictshare to Pict-rs migration guide

This release replaces pictshare with pict-rs, and a script must be run on your server to upgrade.

To update, run:

cd /lemmy
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/migrate-pictshare-to-pictrs.bash
sudo bash migrate-pictshare-to-pictrs.bash

You'll also have to update your nginx config, use the one here.

You'll have to log in again to pick up your avatar

Apart from that, we've closed ~100 issues!, including:

  • Site-wide list of recent comments.
  • Reconnecting websockets.
  • Swapped out pictshare for pict-rs.
  • Lots more themes, including a default light one.
