Hello everyone, the Sharkey project has been quiet due to our ongoing efforts to patch major security vulnerabilities in coordination with Firefish, Iceshrimp.js, and upstream Misskey. On Wednesday, November 20th, 2024, our efforts will be finalized with a security release for all affected projects. It is of upmost importance to update your instance(s) to the latest version if you utilize any of the aforementioned software once the patches are released.

Firefish is on maintenance mode, with releases for security fixes. For that reason, we felt the need to coordinate a release with them, so they wouldn't be off-guard.

at what time will the security release be published? i'd like to upgrade ASAP, since i run my own instance (this one!), and i'd love to be able to plan accordingly.

also, is this major enough that it's worth just shutting down my instance until i patch it? or is the impact minimal on single-user instances like my own?

cc @terrain@tech.lgbt (my other account; so i can potentially keep up with this in case i do decide to just shut down my instance out of caution)

we're aiming for the evening (EST) for the release. Coordinating a release between four different forks is hard, so we can't provide an exact time.
