@Gargron The fun of widely distributed software.
Final RC release: yep, looks pretty good, no real problems here.
(Tag it mainline and hit the go button)
Mainline release: OMG how did everyone, including me, miss that?!
Good morning. I feel embarrassed again because I *did* forget to bump the in-code version string to 1.4.5 yesterday night. I was asked about the performance regression in 1.4.4 by a friend (I didn't announce 1.4.4 for this reason - didn't want anyone to upgrade to that yet, since I discovered the regression only after releasing), so I was like "yeah, I know, we have a fix for that, let me tag it real quick" 😩
Yo yo yo!
#Mastodon v1.4.6 is released. I have not announced 1.4.4 and 1.4.5 (for a reason) so most will probably be upgrading straight from 1.4.3. For the full changelog, I do recommend looking through those two releases, but upgrade instructions are simple:

Notably, the "NSFW" button has been replaced with an eye icon for consistency, hashtag timelines now update in real time as they should, and spinny text is gone

@architect how else can the vendor charge $$$ if it were "just" BSD or Linux?
I wish our SANs were just *BSD or Illumos running with ZFS exports, that'd be so much easier to work with than these weird proprietary solutions we have
do you ever get so bored of waiting for a program to respond to your ^C that you https://slime.global/media/-4v9hweqgniqFR3RKLU

At some place...
You're using telnet ?
You're using type 5 Cisco secrets?
Hey, we're using SNMPv3 so we're secure, right?
The year is 2017, and people are STILL using telnet to configure their network infrastructure.

@smallsees In power, yes, easily. But the selection of phones with physical keyboards is extremely limited right now (what's left of Blackberry, basically), so for something like writing notes, all that power doesn't help a whole lot.
@maiyannah I've seen it from both sides where the bug report looks like they have not read the documents or where I have got an answer like that.
Usually saying you have read the docs and been specific about where it's gone wrong "section 2 says press 3rd option but which screen do they mean" helps.
Programmers know their programs and often have a blind spot on assumed knowledge.
There is way more strange but interesting art and less advertising in languages I don't understand in this place.
