+# Lemmy v0.9.0 Release (2021-01-25)
+
+## Changes
+
+Since our last release in October of last year, and we've had [~450](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/compare/v0.8.0...main) commits.
+
+The biggest changes, as we'll outline below, are a re-work of Lemmy's database structure, a `v2` of Lemmy's API, and activitypub compliance fixes. The new re-worked DB is much faster, easier to maintain, and [now supports hierarchical rather than flat objects in the new API](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1275).
+
+We've also seen the first release of [Lemmur](https://github.com/krawieck/lemmur/releases/tag/v0.1.1), an android / iOS (soon) / windows / linux client, as well as [Lemmer](https://github.com/uuttff8/Lemmy-iOS), a native iOS client. Much thanks to @krawieck, @shilangyu, and @uuttff8 for making these great clients. If you can, please contribute to their [patreon](https://www.patreon.com/lemmur) to help fund lemmur development.

+## LemmyNet projects
+
+### Lemmy Server
+
+- [Moved views from SQL to Diesel](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1275). This was a spinal replacement for much of lemmy.
+ - Removed all the old fast_tables and triggers, and created new aggregates tables.
+- Added a `v2` of the API to support the hierarchical objects created from the above changes.
+- Moved continuous integration to [drone](https://cloud.drone.io/LemmyNet/lemmy/), now includes formatting, clippy, and cargo build checks, unit testing, and federation testing. [Drone also deploys both amd64 and arm64 images to dockerhub.](https://hub.docker.com/r/dessalines/lemmy)
+- Split out documentation into git submodule.
+- Shortened slur filter to avoid false positives.
+- Added query performance testing and comparisons. Added indexes to make sure every query is `< 30 ms`.
+- Added compilation time testing.
+
+
+### Lemmy javascript / typescript client
+
+- Updated the [lemmy-js-client](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client) to use the new `v2` API. Our API docs now reference this project's files, to show what the http / websocket forms and responses should look like.
+- Drone now handles publishing its [npm packages.](https://www.npmjs.com/package/lemmy-js-client)
+
+### Lemmy-UI
+
+- Updated it to use the `v2` API via `lemmy-js-client`, required changing nearly every component.
+- Added a live comment count.
+- Added drone deploying, and builds for ARM.
+- Fixed community link wrapping.
+- Various other bug fixes.
+
+
+### Lemmy Docs
+
+- We moved documentation into a separate git repository, and support translation for the docs now!
+- Moved our code of conduct into the documentation.
+
+### Federation
+
+This release includes some bug fixes for federation, and some changes to get us closer to compliance with the ActivityPub standard.
+
+- fixed: [Community bans not federating](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1287)
+- fixed: [Local posts sometimes got marked as remote](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1302)
+- fixed: [Creator of post/comment is not notified about new child comments](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1325)
+- fixed: [Community deletion not federated](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1256)
+
+None of these are breaking changes, so federation between 0.9.0 and 0.8.11 will work without problems.
+

+- Documentation for [admins](https://lemmy.ml/docs/administration_federation.html) and [devs](https://lemmy.ml/docs/contributing_federation_overview.html) on how federation works
- Upgraded to newest versions of @asonix activitypub libraries
- Full local federation setup for manual testing

## Contributors
-We'd also like to thank both the [NLnet foundation](https://nlnet.nl/) for their support in allowing us to work full-time on Lemmy ( as well as their support for [other important open-source projects](https://nlnet.nl/project/current.html) ), [those who sponsor us](https://dev.lemmy.ml/sponsors), and those who [help translate Lemmy](https://weblate.yerbamate.ml/projects/lemmy/). Every little bit does help. We remain committed to never allowing advertisements, monetizing, or venture-capital in Lemmy; software should be communal, and should benefit humanity, not a small group of company owners.

## Testing Federation
Federation is finally ready in Lemmy, pending possible bugs or other issues. So for now we suggest to enable federation only on test servers, or try it on our own test servers ( [enterprise](https://enterprise.lemmy.ml/), [ds9](https://ds9.lemmy.ml/), [voyager](https://voyager.lemmy.ml/) ).
-If everything goes well, after a few weeks we will enable federation on dev.lemmy.ml, at first with a limited number of trusted instances. We will also likely change the domain to https://lemmy.ml . Keep in mind that changing domains after turning on federation will break things.

To enable on your instance, edit your [lemmy.hjson](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/config/defaults.hjson#L60) federation section to `enabled: true`, and restart.
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)
+[documentation](https://lemmy.ml/docs/administration_backup_and_restore.html)
for backup instructions.
**With Ansible:**
Another major announcement is that Lemmy now has another lead developer besides me, [@felix@radical.town](https://radical.town/@felix). Theyve created a better documentation system, implemented RSS feeds, simplified docker and project configs, upgraded actix, working on federation, a whole lot else.
