Upgarding past 1.8
Hello, I've been receiving this notice from voyager and wanted to hesr your thoughts. I don't understand the tech side of this at all. But, I'm curious if you have plans to update, or if I should find a new client to view beehaw. Thanks!

I use jerboa so I'm not affected afaik but I'm curious why the uncertainty about update, they are (generally) a good thing for performance and security. Have there been issues before?
The 0.19.0 release was horrendous and completely broke a lot of things. Again. It wasn't the first significant breakage on a feature release. It happened before.
0.19.1 attempted to fix things, but didn't. Now we're on 0.19.2, which at least isn't completely broken anymore.
It's certainly, evidently not only about or for performance and security.
I can't say anything about the current state though, or why beehaw administration decides against it. Other instances I am using are on more recent 0.19 and work fine.
We're focusing on leaving Lemmy for another platform that supports federation.
0.19.3 has been good for a long time though
