 # Lemmy v0.7.0 Release (2020-06-23)
 
-## Breaking Change to our image server: Pictshare to Pict-rs migration guide
+This release replaces [pictshare](https://github.com/HaschekSolutions/pictshare)
+with [pict-rs](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs), which improves performance
+and security.
 
-This release replaces [pictshare](https://github.com/HaschekSolutions/pictshare) with [pict-rs](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs), and a script must be run on your server to upgrade.
+Overall, since our last major release in January (v0.6.0), we have closed over
+[100 issues!](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/milestone/16?closed=1)
 
-To update, run:
+- Site-wide list of recent comments
+- Reconnecting websockets
+- Many more themes, including a default light one.
+- Expandable embeds for post links (and thumbnails), from
+[iframely](https://github.com/itteco/iframely)
+- Better icons
+- Emoji autocomplete to post and message bodies, and an Emoji Picker
+- Post body now searchable
+- Community title and description is now searchable
+- Simplified cross-posts
+- Better documentation
+- LOTS more languages
+- Lots of bugs squashed
+- And more ...
 
+## Upgrading
+
+Before starting the upgrade, make sure that you have a working backup of your
+database and image files. See our
+[documentation](https://dev.lemmy.ml/docs/administration_backup_and_restore.html)
+for backup instructions.

+**With Ansible:**

+```
+# deploy with ansible from your local lemmy git repo
+git pull
+cd ansible
+ansible-playbook lemmy.yml
+# connect via ssh to run the migration script
+ssh your-server
+cd /lemmy/
+wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/migrate-pictshare-to-pictrs.bash
+chmod +x migrate-pictshare-to-pictrs.bash
+sudo ./migrate-pictshare-to-pictrs.bash
