Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🀟😁

This release of Mastodon focuses entirely on technical improvements that are not necessarily visible on the user side, ahead of the ambitiously user-focused Mastodon 5.0 release later this year. Our goal is to improve compatibility with other fediverse platforms, improve performance, and fix various bugs that we’ve found. So this post will be very technical. If you’re into that, read on.

This release features multiple long-running database migrations, as we tackled several long-standing issues in our database structure that made some features difficult or even impossible to implement, and made some migrations unnecessarily complicated. Zero-downtime migration from Mastodon 4.6 to 4.7 is supported, as will be zero-downtime migration from 4.7 to the next version. However, Mastodon 4.7 will be a required stop for zero-downtime migrations.
