Changelog

Added

• Add more explicit explanations about author attribution and fediverse:creator (#32383 by @ClearlyClaire)
• Add ability to group follow notifications in WebUI, can be disabled in the column settings (#32520 by @renchap)
• Add back a 6 hours mute duration option (#32522 by @renchap)
• Add note about not changing ActiveRecord encryption secrets once they are set (#32413, #32476, #32512, and #32537 by @ClearlyClaire and @mjankowski)

Changed

• Change translation feature to translate to selected regional variant (e.g. pt-BR) if available (#32428 by @c960657)

Removed

• Remove ability to get embed code for remote posts (#32578 by @ClearlyClaire)
  Getting the embed code is only reliable for local posts.
  It never worked for non-Mastodon servers, and stopped working correctly with the changes made in 4.3.0.
  We have therefore decided to remove the menu entry while we investigate solutions.

Upgrade notes

To get the code for v4.3.1, use git fetch && git checkout v4.3.1.

Note

As always, make sure you have backups of the database before performing any upgrades. If you are using docker-compose, this is how a backup command might look: docker exec mastodon_db_1 pg_dump -Fc -U postgres postgres > name_of_the_backup.dump

Dependencies

External dependencies have not changed since v4.3.0, the compatible Ruby, PostgreSQL, Node, Elasticsearch and Redis versions are the same, that is:

• Ruby: 3.1 or newer
• PostgreSQL: 12 or newer. PostgreSQL versions 14.0 to 14.3 are not supported as they contain a critical data-corruption bug (see v4.3.0 release notes)
• Elasticsearch (recommended, for full-text search): 7.x (OpenSearch should also work)
• LibreTranslate (optional, for translations): 1.3.3 or newer
• Redis: 4 or newer
• Node: 18 or newer
• ImageMagick (optional if using libvips): 6.9.7-7 or newer
• libvips (optional, instead of ImageMagick): 8.13 or newer

Update steps

The following instructions are for updating from 4.3.0.

If you are upgrading directly from an earlier release, please carefully read the upgrade notes for the skipped releases as well, as they often require extra steps such as database migrations. In particular, please read the v4.3.0 release notes, as there have been multiple important changes.

Non-docker

Tip

The charlock_holmes gem may fail to build on some systems with recent versions of gcc.
If you run into such an issue, try BUNDLE_BUILD__CHARLOCK_HOLMES="--with-cxxflags=-std=c++17" bundle install.

1. Install dependencies with bundle install and yarn install --immutable
2. Precompile the assets: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
3. Restart all Mastodon processes.

When using docker

1. Restart all Mastodon processes.
