Hey friends! It’s nearly time for #FOSDEM, the annual free and open source event in Brussels. This weekend, the Mastodon team will be based in building H.

We’ll be raising funds for the project with some of our merch - beautiful limited edition winter mugs, pins, and t-shirts. We’ll also have fun stickers to share for free, so you can show your support for Mastodon everywhere!

(just so you know: we’re a bit short on larger t-shirt sizes, so come early if you want to buy one of those)

We just released Mastodon 4.3.3, 4.2.15 and 4.1.22. Tmastoadminn a few bug fixes as well as a security fix (medium severity, https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/security/advisories/GHSA-5wxh-3p65-r4g6)

We recommend every instance administrator to update as soon as possible.

If you are using our nightly releases, a container image with the fix has been published with the `nightly.2025-01-17-security` tag.

@troy @trinitybat You probably forgot to either run some migration, or restart some Ruby processes after the migrations

@admin There should be only one place to change, in app/validators/status_length_validator.rb

@north This is already the case, or are we missing something?

We just released Mastodon 4.2.13 and 4.1.20. They contain a few bug fixes, a security fix (high severity, only impacting Ruby <= 3.2) and a critical security in a dependency is you use SAML authentication (CVE-2024-45409).

Release notes and upgrade instructions are available on our GitHub Releases page: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/

#mastoadmin

@kev Yes it is!

@NatalyMillan Do you have a link to the github issue?

The first release candidate of #Mastodon 4.3 is ready! We expect this to very soon become the stable release, but if you encounter anything unexpected, please open a GitHub issue! This is also the last opportunity to submit translations for new and changed strings in CrowdIn.

@mw_a Fort probablement car l'onglet Federated TL contient l'ensemble des statuts publics connus par ton instance, ce qui représente énormément de données, bien plus que ce que Tweetdeck ne va afficher dans ton setup.
Aussi possiblement car il y a probablement 100x plus de personnes qui ont travaillé sur Tweetdeck que sur Mastodon, et qu'ils ont pu investir dans les performances.
