We are running the latest release candidate for Lemmy, version 0.19.0-rc.1. This release candidate includes many changes.
Every release comes with its own challenges; however, it resolves previous ones. We hope this release will resolve a longstanding issue with sync not working, causing a lot of manual work from the admins to keep things in sync.
Please let us know if you experience any weird behavior.
Some known issues so far are:
- HTML entities characters in posts bodies (Changing & to &)
- The
spoilertag crashes the site if used in the sidebar - Mobile apps are borked again
Update 10/25/2023
- We are now running release candidate 3.
Posts from communities I am not subscribed to appear in Home tab in the Voyager app on Android since the previous update (problem was not resolved by last update to version 1.19.3).
I’ve noticed that on the web too. However, on the web it’s only occasional.
I’m hoping the final release of Lemmy .19 fixes it.
Thanks for reporting.
Is there any update on the third party app authentication issues? Both Jerboa and Sync are not letting me sign in.
Appreciate the work that goes into running an instance and thanks for keeping us up to date!
We are tracking the progress of the 3rd party apps on this post: https://discuss.online/post/1294119
tl;dr; App developers need to update to the new API of Lemmy 0.19. Breaking changes were made by the core team.
We decided to update before all the fixes were released for the apps for several reasons:
- We want to push app developers to release updates quick
- We want to help support Lemmy core development by testing changes and releases
- We had major issues with the previous version and though the trade of new issues was worth it
We want to push app developers to release updates quick
It’s been a month and Sync doesn’t support it. So much for that idea. Centralization wins again.
That said, the web interface is pretty good on my Tab S7.
I hope they don’t keep holding back .19 because app developers aren’t motivated to implement the changes.
