Thanks! What is the breaking change? I know the backend and frontend can’t be combined with older versions (i.e. you have to update both at the same time), if that what you’re referring to?
Yeah, definitely. But the lack of capcha and the fact there’s a bug where a remote user can cause an admin account to be un-admined (locking admins out of those settings), well I’m definitely considering waiting for 0.18.1
The steps to reproduce don’t seem to have been tested but the current theory is that if a user is federated to a server that has an admin with the same name, and then that user is banned, then it may cause the admin to be un-admined I guess due to an update that doesn’t correctly distinguish the local and remote users.
Honestly, it’s annoying but may not be a showstopper for upgrading to 0.18
You can fix it by changing the flag in the database, and it’s not giving the admin permissions to another user which would be a big security problem.
Hi @[email protected] my Jerboa app (Android) has auto updated overnight and now I can no longer log in that way as it requires 0.18. Guess I’m not the only one. Did you decide yet if you want to upgrade to 0.18?
I did not know that! Thanks for letting me know. I will make upgrading a priority, though we will probably need to turn on registration applications as the cloudflare bot detection doesn’t seem to be working

They have removed web sockets. That is a massive breaking change.
Yes, for the front/backend connection. I’m just hoping there is no change needing us to rush to 0.18
Fixing the hot/active sorting will be super helpful

Didn’t know about the admin lockout bug, that sounds serious.

why did they do that?
See the linked post, essentially for performance.
