[Update: Failed again] Update to 0.18.1-rc.1 tried and rolled back (lemmy.world)

We've upgraded lemmy.world to 0.18.1-rc.1 and rolled back that upgrade because of issues.

(If you had posted anything in those 10 minutes between upgrade and rollback, that post is gone. Sorry!)

The main issue we saw is that users can't login anymore. Existing sessions still worked, but new logins failed (from macos, ios and android. From linux and windows it worked)

Also new account creation didn't work.

I'll create an issue for the devs and retry once it's fixed.

Edit Contacted the devs, they tell me to try again with lemmy-ui at version 0.18.0. Will try again, brace for some downtime!

Edit 2 So we upgraded again, and it seemed to work nicely! But then it slowed down so much it was unuseable. There were many locks in the database. People reported many JSON errors. Sorry, we won't be on 0.18.1 any time soon I'm afraid..

After the update I can no longer log in or interact with Jerboa. Hopefully y'all resolve this soon, as I am really digging Jerboa, but thanks for letting us know what's going on, and keeping up the good work.

I uninstalled, then installed the fork of Jerboa a guy did from the post in jerboa community, has compatibility with old 0.17 lemmy, I signed in fine, dismissed the warning and all is good, no crashing

I've been using Jerboa since I joined a few weeks ago, I haven't been liking any of the other clients so far, but today I tried thunder and I'm enjoying it more than Jerboa

There's a major breaking change in the 0.18 update (moving away from Websockets for posts and comments), that means that older Jerboa builds no longer work with instances on, or past, that version, and newer Jerboa builds won't work with servers older than 0.18.

Version fracturing is probably going to be a fact of life on a decentralized platform like lemmy, a "good" app should probably handle cases for the latest few revisions instead of just the latest.

[โ€“] JonnyJ@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm sure it will eventually, but early stage tech needs some allowances while they handle growth and scale. Better to break stuff now than be hamstrung by tech debt years later

[โ€“] T156@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It normally would, it's just that 0.18 is a breaking change, incorporating a major rewrite of how posts and comments work on Lemmy.

[โ€“] nerdyshades@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I really like Semantic versioning. This would be from 0.17.X to 1.0.0 as it's a breaking change to the public API.

https://semver.org/

[โ€“] neblem@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Semver pre version 1 lets minor changes be breaking (points 4 & 5).

[โ€“] elxeno@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.
