This is the THIRD ALPHA RELEASE of GoToSocial.

Documentation for this release can be found right here.

Highlights:

  • We use Viper and Cobra now for CLI tooling. This means an easier-to-use command line interface, and simplified configuration.
  • The media processing functionality has been completely refactored with an eye towards performance. This should make GtS much more viable on very small devices like Raspberry Pi Zero.
  • Syslog logging is now supported.

Thank you to all contributors and testers! <3 <3 <3

Migration

The format of configuration files has changed a lot, along with some of the names of command-line flags. Many redundant settings have been removed, and naming conventions have changed for the sake of clarity and structure. The new config example is here: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/blob/v0.2.0/example/config.yaml.

This means if you were using a configuration file from v0.1.1 or earlier, you will need to update or replace your config file to reflect the new changes.

The recommended approach to this is to rename your config.yaml file to something else (config.yaml.old or similar), drop the new config file in its place, and translate values as appropriate from the old config to the new config. This is likely to be less error prone than going through your existing config.yaml and changing key names by hand.

Known Issues

A bug was introduced in Mastodon verion 3.4.6 that affects federation. It has since been fixed, but is not yet in a release version: mastodon/mastodon#17457. Since GoToSocial enforces Secure Mode, this bug will break federation between new GoToSocial instances, and Mastodon version 3.4.6 instances.
