Hello there! #Funkwhale 0.21 is almost out. We've published our first release candidate this morning, and we encourage you to try it.
All the instructions to test it can be found at https://governance.funkwhale.audio/d/SeUDP7vM/funkwhale-0-21-release-incoming-looking-for-testers- (and you can also share your feedback / issues there)
If everything goes well, we should have a proper release published around April 21 🎉
If you installed using our install script, you can easily test this release candidate with:
curl -sSL -o /tmp/upgrade.sh "https://get.funkwhale.audio/upgrade.sh" && sudo sh /tmp/upgrade.sh 0.21-rc1
And if you want to try it on a brand new pod on a Debian 9 or 10 server:
curl -sSL -o /tmp/install.sh "https://get.funkwhale.audio/" && sudo FUNKWHALE_VERSION=0.21-rc1 sh /tmp/install.sh
It's not over yet, but up until now, more than 35 people have contributed their time, skills and energy to make this release a reality.
