Following last week's beta, the first release candidate for #Mastodon 4.6 is out! 🎉
You can find all of the changes on the release page: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.6.0-rc.1
We aim to publish the release next week. If you are an admin, now is a good time to upgrade to the release candidate and help us find any last minute bugs!
