EDIT: The update is done - Lemmy Host now running 0.18.5
This is a short post to inform you that we will be updating Lemmy World to the latest stable release of Lemmy. This is small update that fixes issues with federation of moderation actions performed by admin accounts. There is a bigger update, v0.19.0, just around the corner but the developers wanted to get this federation issue fixed as soon as possible.
The server will be updated at 1700 UTC - if you want to know when that is in your timezone you can click here.
Since this is a small update, it shouldn’t take long. Downtime should be minimal. Please feel free to check both https://status.lemmy.world and https://dash.lemmy.world before and during the upgrade.
I don’t know why but they are on a separate branch: 0.18.5_release_notes
Reading the commits it seems they want to keep them on join-lemmy, instead of having a changelog/releases file in the github.
They first added the 0.18.5 changes and then deleted the full content of the releases file and put to go to https://join-lemmy.org/news
