Friendica 2021.12 Release Candidate available

We are happy to announce the availability of the release candidate branch of Friendica 2021.12, which was just branched off the current development branch, to focus on fixing existing bugs and smoothing out of rough edges. If you want to help in this process, you can checkout the 2021.21-rc branch from the git repositories (core and addons).

git fetch
git checkout 2021.12-rc
git pull
bin/composer.phar install --no-dev

Note that you only need to pull the composer dependencies in the core repository. Alternatively you may download the tar archives from files.friendi.ca

Most work has been spend to the internal code of Friendica, so there may be problems lurking underneath the surface. We have deprecated a number of unsupported addons, added Arabic translation and a new WebDAV storage backend. For a full list of changes, please have a look into the CHANGELOG for this release.

Thanks for testing the new release! If you find any problems, please report them either at the issue tracker on github or in the support forum.

If you encounter this, please initiate the DB update manually from the command line by running the script

from the base of your Friendica installation. If the output contains any error message, please let us know using the channels mentioned above.
