Greetings fellow kids!

We just released v0.21.3 of #GoToSocial, aka Most Sacrilegious Sloth:

https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.21.3

This is the last bugfix + dependency update release for v0.21.x!

⚠️ We strongly urge everyone currently on v0.21.2 or lower to update to this release, as it contains some important bugfixes related to exif data stripping and a security fix for a vulnerability whereby malformed AP messages can cause mischief. We will make a more detailed post about this vulnerability next week, to give people time to update. ⚠️

If you're updating to this version from v0.21.x, it's a very easy update with no db migrations.

If you're updating to this version from a version before v0.21.0, please follow the update instructions from v0.21.0, but replace 0.21.0 with 0.21.3 throughout. Be aware that the update to 0.21.x contains some database migrations. Please do read the notes carefully!

Don't switch to this version from current (25 Jun 2026) snapshots or v0.22.0 release candidates. They already have everything that's in here (and more).

• Video processing fixes.
• Updated robots.txt to tell more bullshit crawlers to fuck off.
• Fixed some streaming API stuff.
• Bug fixes related to exif stripping and malformed AP messages.
• Dependency updates.

Thanks for reading!
