Just wondering if we have a revised timeline is for upgrade to 0.19.x.
A couple weeks ago, the target date was “end of the week”.
This past weekend, it seems like the target date is “soon”.
Is there anything more specific which could be shared at this time, or perhaps a list of outstanding tasks which need to be completed before the upgrade?
As always, big thanks to the admins for keeping this instance running! Thanks for giving me a home on the Fediverse these past few months :)
Hey,
Just a quick status update…
I know it’s been a while and that soon isn’t much to go on.
Trust me, we want the new version as much as anyone.TheDude is the one working out the details, but FYI, there’s actually two things happening in the near future:
- migrating to more powerful dedicated hardware
- upgrading to latest lemmy
It could technically be done in any order.
On one hand, the server itself is kind of an abstraction for everyone.
On the other hand, the new version is more resource hungry and it might go smoother on the new hardware.
I’ll let TheDude decide whichever is easier.The way forward differs slightly whichever happens first and some downtime is to be expected whenever that happens.
TheDude will let us know soon. 😅
I’ll go back to dealing with the spam and whatnot.
Peace
