We’ve upgraded lemmy.world to 0.18.1-rc.1 and rolled back that upgrade because of issues.
(If you had posted anything in those 10 minutes between upgrade and rollback, that post is gone. Sorry!)
The main issue we saw is that users can’t login anymore. Existing sessions still worked, but new logins failed (from macos, ios and android. From linux and windows it worked)
Also new account creation didn’t work.
I’ll create an issue for the devs and retry once it’s fixed.
Edit Contacted the devs, they tell me to try again with lemmy-ui at version 0.18.0. Will try again, brace for some downtime!
Edit 2 So we upgraded again, and it seemed to work nicely! But then it slowed down so much it was unuseable. There were many locks in the database. People reported many JSON errors. Sorry, we won’t be on 0.18.1 any time soon I’m afraid…
Posted after Edit 2.
I would like to manage my expectations. Yesterday we were looking at 0.18.1 being sent out in about week from the devs. Was 0.18.1-rc.1 what we thought they’d have ready? Do we still think the 7-10 day window is likely?
rc.1 is the first Release Candidate of that version - not the final one, so between now and a week a lot can still happen.
Thanks. It’s neat how active you and the other admins are. You guys dedicate a lot of time to individual comments, and not just on this thread.
No they said in a week they would have it final. But maybe it will take a bit longer…
Lemmy seems like a herculean undertaking. I can’t imagine anyone doing the nuts and bolts for free or on any schedule, so it’s quite amazing to me that we can talk about getting updates like this.
