Please update them as soon as possible.<br/><br/>For more information about this compromise and ways to check if your server is impacted, please read <a href="https://emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com">https://emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com</a><br/><br/>#mastoadmin 2026-10-21T14:05:15Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8j5e6w6h6lt47khalv406nl7h80yws4qku6dy39gysts40qsxlkczyqq2hkgm7tdw3atjyejenxw0yl47xsyc4upys7fvd0tmankjye2uvvfcssr We just released Mastodon 4.7.0!<br/><br/>This version contains very few user-facing changes, but significantly reworks the backend code to improve security and support new protocol features.<br/><br/>You can read more about it on our blog: <a href="https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/08/mastodon-4.7/">https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/08/mastodon-4.7/</a><br/><br/>Note for admins: the database migrations might take a long time, this is expected (see the release notes).<br/><br/>Release notes and upgrade instructions are available here: <a href="https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.7.0">https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.7.0</a><br/><br/>#mastoadmin 2026-08-20T16:33:13Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsr5tlkx9wn046qwj8xmcfm2e3kxnrxjm6c7508asy9g73frwuy7pszyqq2hkgm7tdw3atjyejenxw0yl47xsyc4upys7fvd0tmankjye2uvr0tshl We released the first beta for Mastodon 4.7 today.
