The first release candidate of #Mastodon 4.3 is ready! We expect this to very soon become the stable release, but if you encounter anything unexpected, please open a GitHub issue! This is also the last opportunity to submit translations for new and changed strings in CrowdIn.
We just released the second beta of Mastodon 4.3.
This version contains a security fix for an issue present in Mastodon 4.3 beta 1, (moderate severity) so we strongly suggest admins running on our beta versions to update as soon as possible.
We expect this to be the final beta, and to release our Release Candidate next week. Please open GitHub issues if you encounter anything unexpected!
We are excited to launch a new project that will help small and medium-sized fediverse servers and their users have better access to search and discovery through the use of pluggable Fediverse Discovery Providers, supported by a grant from [@EC_NGI](
We intend to mark this API as stable in our next 4.3 beta release, so if you are a client developer now is the time to have a look at it and tell us what you think!
