After some arduous work from the developers and many other contributors, the newest version of lemmy has become available!
Many long-awaited features are now available - like blocking instances and exporting/importing an account.

It is, I've been unable to login for almost two days using Jerboa. I managed on desktop and seeing updates were on the way, I installed Boost (what I'm using to reply right now!). Jerboa is still dead for me though, and I expect others may also run into issues.
The latest Jerboa version does work (Jerboa 0.0.54), but it seems it is not yet on F-Droid. You can get it directly from the github release page, or, as someone else suggested, using Obtainium.
For future updates, especially if they are as large as this one, it will probably be better if I make an announcement a few days before the update is expected so that users are not caught by surprise.
That's a good idea with the pre-update announcement, thanks for taking care of us Sal!
Thanks for the heads up about Jerboa but, for the moment, I'm happy with my new toy Boost! Cheers
