This may impact lemmy.nz as well as it’s a breaking change.

      Yes, for the front/backend connection. I’m just hoping there is no change needing us to rush to 0.18

          Yeah, definitely. But the lack of capcha and the fact there’s a bug where a remote user can cause an admin account to be un-admined (locking admins out of those settings), well I’m definitely considering waiting for 0.18.1

            Didn’t know about the admin lockout bug, that sounds serious.

              The steps to reproduce don’t seem to have been tested but the current theory is that if a user is federated to a server that has an admin with the same name, and then that user is banned, then it may cause the admin to be un-admined I guess due to an update that doesn’t correctly distinguish the local and remote users.

              Honestly, it’s annoying but may not be a showstopper for upgrading to 0.18

              You can fix it by changing the flag in the database, and it’s not giving the admin permissions to another user which would be a big security problem.

                Hi @Dave@lemmy.nz my Jerboa app (Android) has auto updated overnight and now I can no longer log in that way as it requires 0.18. Guess I’m not the only one. Did you decide yet if you want to upgrade to 0.18?

                  I did not know that! Thanks for letting me know. I will make upgrading a priority, though we will probably need to turn on registration applications as the cloudflare bot detection doesn’t seem to be working

                    Yeah it’s a bit annoying that they didn’t deprecate it instead of just ripping it out. Anyway, I see you’ve updated it to 0.18 :) Hopefully all goes well!
