Lemmy 0.19 has been released!
You can see the full changelog here
In order to apply this update, we’ll be scheduling a 2 hour window starting 11:00AM UTC Saturday 16th December (I.e. tomorrow).
This will include at least one server restart, and as part of the upgrade process the database will probably be offline, so expect definite connection issues during this window. Lots of backing up will be done too.
I’ll make another post when the window begins, and a further post when it is completed and we are happy everything is working.
Thanks Demigodrick

Edit to add - we’ll probably also upgrade Pictrs (the software that shows you the pictures on lemmy) at the same time to version 0.4.6 as advised as part of the migration pathway for Pictrs V5 (coming soon!).
Pictrs has to be offline to do this upgrade, so there will be a period of time during this window where you will be able to access the site, but images won’t load - don’t worry, this is expected!
