◆Current state
Pixelfed has two release candidates out in October. 0.15.0-rc1 raises the hashtag follow limit from 25 to 100, adds an account deletion API route, fixes timelines for Mastodon clients, rejects follows to moved accounts and drops PHP 8.3. 0.14.5-rc1 fixed boost federation and added FEP-6757 support. The September 0.12.12 release changed captcha and locale environment variables.
◆Where it's heading
Most of the work is federation correctness and Mastodon-client compatibility, paired with large dependency upgrades across Laravel, Symfony and Guzzle. Breaking environment and runtime changes are arriving in clusters, so self-hosters face more upgrade steps per release.
◆Prediction
Expect 0.15.0 stable after the RC, with more Mastodon API compatibility fixes. The entries don't show bigger product changes.
