@kat @Mastodon most of the stuff past rc1 is just backend stuff, it doesn't add anything too new

@kropot I usually wait 24 hours before starting updates of new releases, to see if no major issues are report.
So, I should start working on it later today or tomorrow.
Notice this release is a major upgrade and I need to do some testing to see how long it will take.
I will announce it later.

@Mastodon @Gargron I just got some DB errors on this update, but it seem's I'm on v2.5.0 anyway. Any ideas why ? (Non docker installation)

@seb_vallee @Mastodon Oof. That looks like a years-old version of postgresql! You need at least 9.5

@seb_vallee @Mastodon That is strange. Are you sure you don't have multiple pg versions installed and Mastodon is using something older? `ls /etc/postgresql`

@seb_vallee @Mastodon Carefully follow postgresql upgrade instructions! I've never done it myself (have been using 9.6 from the start)

@Mastodon Just updated and looks great!! 👍 👍
PS: Weirdly, I had to manually clear out my public/packs directory to fix some old CSS that was stuck there -- the profile view, i.e. server.domain/(at)user looked all messed up. Now all is good. 😀

@Mastodon Ohhhh! Those are some sexy looking updates right there!

Hoping this fixed the bug where often profiles say that they have more posts than they show... (or is that just about non public toots?)

@hiemstra @Mastodon you can if you use 'git fetch' (instead of git pull) iirc

@mdbraber @Mastodon I hoped someone would answer with: "simply do a 'git pull' ", but now I'm confused... 😕

@hiemstra see the upgrade notes for 2.4.5: "Because this is a backport, it is not available with git pull. Use git fetch && git checkout v2.4.5 (https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases) - but maybe now with 2.5.0 you can use pull again also, not sure
