We're proud to announce the upcoming release of Funkwhale 1.1 around March 15.
For the first time in Funkwhale's history, this release was supervised and published entirely by Georg, a new maintainer of the project, instead of our usual @agateblue ;)
Georg has published the first release candidate today, and we encourage admins to give it a try and share their feedback so we can spot and correct bugs and regressions.
You can learn more about this release at https://blog.funkwhale.audio/~/Announcements/first-release-candidate-for-funkwhale-1.1, and https://governance.funkwhale.audio/d/amoT1YnA/incoming-funkwhale-release-1-1-call-for-tests-and-translations will give you all the instructions to update and share your feedback.
Many, many thanks who to all the people who contributed to this release and to the project as a whole ❤️
