I'll be starting a gradual upgrade of all Masto.host instances to Mastodon v4.7.0.
You won't notice many changes, as this release mostly reworks things under the hood rather than adding new features.
Given the number of database changes, I'll roll them out slowly over the coming days to avoid impacting performance.
Expected downtime: ~15 seconds per instance.
Release notes: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.7.0
The upgrade went better than anticipated, and everyone running on Masto.host is now on Mastodon v4.7.0.
The performance impact of the database changes was lower than I expected, so I was able to move everyone to the new version today instead of spreading it over several days.
Any issues or questions, please let me know.
Thanks 🐘

@mastohost Thanks for your great work! https://Dobbs.Town (the Mastodobbs of the Church of the SubGenius) has been running steady since December "2018" thanks to you.
@onan That's pretty incredible 😊 Thank you so much
@mastohost you are literally the best sysadmin in the universe. You deserve, like, prizes or something.
@achrilock Well, it's possible someone on Proxima Centauri b is doing better 😉 But you're too kind, I'm still very much learning this sysadmin thing. Just over 10 years in, I was a coder before that.
@jwalsh2 you are both way too kind :)
