The second release candidate for Mastodon 4.5 is ready!
It fixes an issue introduced in the first release candidate with some email setups, as well as a few interface rough edges.
We still expect the final version for next week, but please test it out and provide feedback!
Full release notes and update instructions are available on our GitHub release page: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.5.0-rc.2
