There are some really nice updates coming in the next version of Mastodon, including grouped notifications and profile hover cards.

@stefan Been running the nightly/alpha for a long time and it's always super easy. Sometimes they have new .env stuff or new ruby version, but generally peachy.

@rolle Yeah, past updates have been pretty simple, this one's just a bit more involved. Not a huge deal, I'll probably have some time over the weekend.

@stefan updating and installing!

@stefan how long did it take you? I saw someone say it took them 45 minutes, which if it takes that long, I'll be waiting.
Every other update is like a minute or two, max. 45 minutes would be insanity and make me worry about my ability to do it successfully.

@BeAware I didn't really time it, but about 30 minutes of total time could be right.
Mind you, you might have to upgrade a few things (for me it was node and Ruby).
After I made sure all the dependencies are at the right version, it was a pretty typical upgrade process.

@stefan okay. I'll probably wait.
Linux things like this give me anxiety that I'll break my entire Fedi existence in one quick swoop.
I'm too ignorant with Linux.

@BeAware Yeah, it definitely makes sense to set some time aside for this. I'm just a bit too impatient.
Whenever you decide to do it, good luck!

Whew! I just reviewed the changelog. There's a lot! It's nice to see they are taking community feedback seriously, and I'm really looking forward to some of these changes. Particularly interesting are the changes to notifications, blocking behavior, and the new profile hover cards. -
