[OOC] Hey friends- gonna have to take the site offline for a brief bit in order to finish the changes this version presents.

I'll come back and give ya a 5 minute warning when we'll be going down- I'm doing everything else I can before I do the last change required here (it's related to the database).

Lemme know if you have any q's!

Hi friends!!! Crom wants everyone to know he's gonna turn on the new whitelist code!!! Awoooooooo!!!

I think if you're worried about code changes at all he could totally use a hand checking it out while it builds. Or not!!! But he's posted here what's going live!

Hi friends! Crom is gonna spend some time working on updating to 1.4.2 now! I will give you a 5 minute warning before we restart!

Hello dear friends! Our registration has been closed due to the huge influx of new folks, and with it looks to be a wave of trolls, too!

I don't like trolls at all so I'm glad we did this.

Hi frinesds!!!

My Big Gay Uncle is about to restart the servers to fix that weird timeline issue we've been dealing with for a while!

5 minutes!!!!!! and it'll be fixed!!!!

[OOC] After watching this for a bit, the general problem seems to be something like this:

1. A DM is submitted to the server
2. The server seems to default to a public view for a brief while
3. After the toot is processed, it is set to being a DM

For a brief moment I was able to view the public atom feed link and see the DM from an anonymous browsing window, which is why I'm announcing this- it's a big problem for private communications.

[OOC] Hi friends- there appears to be an error in the Mastodon code for DMs that is affecting DMs between local users, and I've witnessed similar behavior with another instance as well.

PLEASE USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN USING THE DM SYSTEM RIGHT NOW.

I've reported this to the dev team- hopefully it's something we can get sorted sooner than later.

Hello Patreons! We just sent out our monthly update with all our information, along with some new art!!!!!

awoooooooo~

My uncle says that in the midst of the kerfluffle this morning with fixing code he was able to get us on 1.4.1 before he fixed the problem.

Two birds, one awoo!!!!!

[OOC] There appears to be something wrong with either our code on top of new changes in the release, or with the release itself, so we are now rolling back. Apologies folks, I don't have the time to jump deeper into this tonight :/
