Hi Everyone!
We’re now running the latest lemmy 0.19 release, you can see more details here: https://lemmy.ca/post/11378137
Note that you will need to re-enable 2FA on your account, all users had it turned off as part of this
You will most likely need to log out and back in for your client to work properly.
Yeah, lesson learned :/
I’ll compile a list of apps and see how we can track which one are ready for any API breaking changes before we do the server update.
I’d just delay the update for a few days up to a week. That would give a chance for most maintained apps to release updates via their respective channels. Then I wouldn’t have to care and check for specific apps.
The app developers were warned like a month ago that this would be a breaking change, they had lots of time to release patches and there’s been a few large instances on the beta of 0.19 for well over a week.
IMHO It’s not really sensible for us to go test the apps and then hold back on upgrading just because one of the dozen apps isn’t compatible yet.
What’s even worse is that the Jerboa developer is one of the Lemmy dev, he could litterally see this coming a mile away :/
But on the other hand he’s at the mercy of Google making the update available whenever they feel like it.
It’s why I wouldn’t test at all. I’d just wait a bit. Or I’d update after Lemmy.world updates. 😅 Little extra work that way.
