Mastodon Updates#

There were several Mastodon updates this month, but not much in the way of user-facing changes. Both v4.6.5 and v4.6.6 were small patches of bug fixes.

Even with the point release v4.7.0 which contained more additions and changes in the backend, these were mainly technical updates that shouldn’t affect most users, or groundwork being laid for features to come in the future.
