Mastodon Engineering

We just released the second beta of Mastodon 4.3.

This version contains a security fix for an issue present in Mastodon 4.3 beta 1, (moderate severity) so we strongly suggest admins running on our beta versions to update as soon as possible.

We expect this to be the final beta, and to release our Release Candidate next week. Please open GitHub issues if you encounter anything unexpected!

If you are running nightly releases, we published a container image patching the above security issue with the 4.3.0-nightly.2024-09-18-security tag.

@MastodonEngineering Upgraded from 4.3.0-beta.1 earlier today when the new release appeared on Github and did not encounter any problem. Solid like the first prerelease :-)

@MastodonEngineering would have been nice to have included instructions for upgrading from beta.1, I'm trying to use the supplied instructions and am now stuck

@danny The release notes have been updated 20 minutes ago with instructions from Beta 1.
If you are encountering an issue, please open a GitHub issue with the details and we will assist.

@MastodonEngineering thanks, I actually missed a one-liner in an error I got on one instruction which told me how to fix the problem

On beta.2 now 😀
