Upgrade complete.
We will be upgrading to Lemmy v0.19.1 on 2023-12-21 12:00 UTC+8. During this time, this instance will be temporarily unavailable for approximately four hours as we perform the maintenance.
You can view the instance status updates here.
We apologize for any inconveniences.

This has the potential of causing a shinobu outage. So, people should be prepared for that for any shows that are running for that time period (in that sense, doing the upgrade as the seasons transition makes a lot of sense). The bot uses the pythorhead library to make its api calls to lemmy and 0.19 introduces breaking auth changes to the api. As far as I know, db0 hasn't updated pythorhead to be 0.19 compatible yet. I have no doubt they will because I am sure they use it for a lot of the tooling that they have built around lemmy, but it might not be ready to go day 1.
Thanks for letting me know! I could hold back from upgrading to v0.19 for a while to avoid Shinobu downtime (or other problems), also considering that people might be using third party apps that aren't v0.19 compatible yet.
Yeah, I think it is fine. db0 should update pretty quickly now that 0.19 is finalized. I tried a couple third party apps and the support is all over the place. The one I use the most is Boost which now supports both 0.18 and 0.19 (but still doesn't support spoiler tags). Last I checked, Jerboa still didn't support 0.19. If you are going to wait for third party apps, then it is a losing proposition. The improvements that are coming with 0.19 are really nice and probably worth some potential shinobu outage (especially with improvements coming in pict-rs as well).
Just to follow up on this that db0 updated pythorhead to be 0.19 compatible. So, all good to go!
Also, paging @[email protected] to give you a heads up to update your pythorhead.
Nice! I'll push through with updating to Lemmy v0.19 this Thursday then.
