We are planning to release new Mastodon security updates for versions 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and nightly this Monday, Jul 27, at around 14:00 UTC. It solves two major security issues. We encourage server administrators to plan for an update in the hours following the release to ensure their instance is protected. These versions will not require database migrations. #mastoadmin

@MastodonEngineering@mastodon.social Will container images be published at the same time? Or which delay should I take into account?

@MastodonEngineering@mastodon.social Will you be coordinating with forks such as glitch-soc and Hometown so that instances running those will be able to update at the same time?

@MastodonEngineering@mastodon.social Is there a plan to have migrations run automatically? It's not a big pain point, but it should be possible to determine whether a database needs migrations or not programmatically and apply migrations when needed. I don't know Rails, but it should be or am I wrong..
