Hi Everyone!

We're now running the latest lemmy 0.19 release, you can see more details here: https://lemmy.ca/post/11378137

Note that you will need to re-enable 2FA on your account, all users had it turned off as part of this

You will most likely need to log out and back in for your client to work properly.

Note that Jerboa 0.50 which is still the latest in the Play Store is broken with Lemmy 0.19. The newly released 0.53 should work but it's not on the stores yet.

Suggestion:

Check that the compatible Jerboa version is on the Play Store before upgrading Lemmy. That way non-technical users like my wife won't see breakage. Or alternatively upgrade several days after the official Lemmy release.

    Yeah, lesson learned :/

    I'll compile a list of apps and see how we can track which one are ready for any API breaking changes before we do the server update.

    I'd just delay the update for a few days up to a week. That would give a chance for most maintained apps to release updates via their respective channels. Then I wouldn't have to care and check for specific apps.

    The app developers were warned like a month ago that this would be a breaking change, they had lots of time to release patches and there's been a few large instances on the beta of 0.19 for well over a week.

    IMHO It's not really sensible for us to go test the apps and then hold back on upgrading just because one of the dozen apps isn't compatible yet.

    What's even worse is that the Jerboa developer is one of the Lemmy dev, he could litterally see this coming a mile away :/

    But on the other hand he's at the mercy of Google making the update available whenever they feel like it.
