Sorry for the botched updates this week

Sorry it’s been a bit of a rough week:

• 1.9.4 accidentally locked it so you could only login to Lemmy.zip. Any previously logged in accounts were unaffected
• 1.9.5 was rolled out, but I canceled the iOS and Android deployments as I realized they were almost completely broken. If you use Obtainium to install Android, you should skip 1.9.5 and wait for 1.9.6 later today
• 1.9.6 is being rushed out to iOS and Android later today to fix bugs from the previous two version

As you can see, my development process is a little chaotic. My time is pretty limited, so I don’t do as much testing as I should. I’m trying to write more automated tests and establish a process that will prevent these type of sloppy errors. Thank you for your patience.

I want to ship features and bug fixes quickly, but if more mistakes happen, I may need to slow down and setup a proper beta track. It’s really up to you all if you prefer quick updates or slower with lower risk of breaking things.

It’s also not all bad news. There were a few bugs I identified this week which will be fixed in 1.9.6. Hopefully things are trending towards a more stable app.
