Lemmy 0.19 Upgrade

~~I'll be restarting AZ today for an update to lemmy 0.19.~~

Upgrade complete.

This is a major upgrade, so I expect there to be some issues. Strap in, enjoy the ride.

Expect:

further restarts
bugs
slowdowns
logouts
2FA being disabled
possibly issues with images, upgrading pictrs to 0.4 at the same time

Just a heads up that liftoff no longer works as it has not had necessary upgrades to be co patibke with 0.19

It is now end of life unless the dev returns. There have been no updates for a few months.
- Yea, poor Liftoff
  
  Hope the dev is doing well with the twins.
  
  Oh, twins. A different kind of liftoff for them.
- Thanks. I really liked liftoff... Was the closest to baconreader from the olden days.
  
  Posting this reply on summit. Really good and very similar to liftoff so far (at least in dark mode)
- I use Boost in compact mode. I selected it because it felt like BaconReader. Also, it was only $5ish.
What new goodies does .19 come with?
- Lots of back end improvements... on the user facing side 2FA enrollment improvements, and highlighting of recent comments. I've not noticed anything else, but I'm sure its there.
  
  On the inbox page, if you tick the "mark as read" button, it now immediately gets rid of that comment. Which personally I actually view as a degradation.
  
  But also, on a post page, you can now interact with other elements in the middle of writing a comment, and it doesn't automatically cancel your comment. So now you can safely upvote the comment you're replying to half way through writing that reply! This is awesome!
  
  I'm happy about the new 2fa system! The old one was so confusing I gave up even trying. One thing I did have a question about: are there backup codes somewhere I can download in case I lose my app or whatever?
Thank you.
Is this where we should post issues if we have any?
- Sure
  
  My TPA (Boost) seems to no longer be showing karma amounts on user profiles. The update has broken whatever method boost used to extract that number, I presume?
  
  2-factor authentication is no longer enabled as it was before the upgrade. I'm not sure if the 2FA code option on the enabling modal is part of setting up new authentication or for using old auth code and I haven't tested it.
  
  OK. I might make add each issue as a separate comment. Let me know if you prefer they are combined.
  
  I get this when I try to access my profile
Hey hey - with Jerboa on Android I'm getting "failed to verify JWT token". Looked it up an it appears to be an issue with Jerboa (https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/1285) so no action needed on your side, just an FYI for people here I guess!
Will broken images come back at some point?

Getting this message on some, but not all images:

{"msg":"Socket not connected (os error 107)"}
- I've not seen that myself, will look into it tonight.
  
  Here is a screenshot. Couldn't upload it directly using both Vivaldi/Chrome or Firefox browsers on a Mac. Using Voyager, am getting (os error 107) when trying to add image to a post.
I got something you can strap into ;)
Error with Memmy on iOS. Needed to log out and log back in.

Apparently there was an issue with my password being incorrect. However I hadn’t changed anything.
- The log in errors and needing to re log in is a standard thing AFAICT. I was in a weird unauthenticated but still logged in state on boost and had to log back in on desktop too
Ahhhhh logouts... That explains what happened to me.

Thanks for your efforts!
I can't seem to log in to Jerboa. Guess it hasn't been updated with 0.19 support yet. Ah well.
- Wait, I just needed to manually update Jerboa. It hadn't updated automatically for some reason.
Seems to be working sweet in Voyager, just the log out and we're away again.

Cheers computer expert guy!
