v0.2.1

This is the fourth alpha release of GoToSocial.

Highlights

• Remote media is now uncached after 30 days (by default). It will be recached again when a user requests it. This will save a significant amount of disk space! The cleanup job is run every night at 12am instance time. See the example config for more details and options.
• Database queries have been seriously optimized, which fixes an issue where requests became painfully slow after a while (especially loading notifications and the federated timeline). It should now be speedy and smooth.
• We have multi-architecture Docker builds now! Just pull superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:0.2.1 and the appropriate image for your architecture will be selected. We have containers for armv6, armv7, arm64, and of course amd64. Big thanks to @0hlov3.

Migrations

A database migration will be run on startup to bring in the new changes. Do not interrupt this migration! It will take somewhere between a few seconds or a minute depending on your system specs and the size of your database. Patience!

Acknowledgements

Thank you to all contributors, testers, bug reporters, and well-wishers! We're getting there step by step :)

v0.2.0

This is the THIRD ALPHA RELEASE of GoToSocial.

Documentation for this release can be found right here.

Highlights:

• We use Viper and Cobra now for CLI tooling. This means an easier-to-use command line interface, and simplified configuration.
• The media processing functionality has been completely refactored with an eye towards performance. This should make GtS much more viable on very small devices like Raspberry Pi Zero.
• Syslog logging is now supported.

Thank you to all contributors and testers! <3 <3 <3

Migration

The format of configuration files has changed a lot, along with some of the names of command-line flags. Many redundant settings have been removed, and naming conventions have changed for the sake of clarity and structure. The new config example is here: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/blob/v0.2.0/example/config.yaml.

This means if you were using a configuration file from v0.1.1 or earlier, you will need to update or replace your config file to reflect the new changes.

The recommended approach to this is to rename your config.yaml file to something else (config.yaml.old or similar), drop the new config file in its place, and translate values as appropriate from the old config to the new config. This is likely to be less error prone than going through your existing config.yaml and changing key names by hand.

Known Issues

A bug was introduced in Mastodon verion 3.4.6 that affects federation. It has since been fixed, but is not yet in a release version: mastodon/mastodon#17457. Since GoToSocial enforces Secure Mode, this bug will break federation between new GoToSocial instances, and Mastodon version 3.4.6 instances.

v0.1.0

This is the very first alpha release of GoToSocial. Much of the feature set is already there, much is missing.

For documentation, see https://docs.gotosocial.org. If you're just getting started, the quick-and-dirty install guide will be particularly valuable: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/installation_guide/quick_and_dirty/

There will be bugs and issues! Please use the issue tracker on the github repository (and make sure you're not reporting a duplicate issue).

For help, check out the Matrix channel mentioned in README.md :)

Docker image is available at superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:0.1.0 and it works great, but installation for Docker is not documented yet (that's on the way).
