Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

We should also have a bugfix release for a few issues with the last release, and have 0.19.8 sometime soon.

Support development

@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. Recurring donations are ideal because they allow for long-term planning. But also one-time donations of any amount help us.

    Thanks for the changes 🙏 I wonder, is 0.19.8 going to be last 0.19 before 0.20? I’m planning to upgrade if its stable enough.

      Not sure, if ppl find other bugs we may need to do more 0.19 releases. 0.20 will have a lot of breaking changes.

        what is necessary for lemmy to reach a version 1.0.0 ? Does the current 0.19 number mean that lemmy is not stable enough yet?

          The current number is because it’s very much still in early development and the developers reserve the right to make breaking changes with any release.

          I don’t know that we’ll ever get to a 1.0 status, because feature development hasn’t slowed down, and doesn’t seem to be anytime soon. We’d need like 3 more devs to even not get behind.
