We just tagged the release candidate for Mastodon 4.4.0 for testing. Full release notes and update instructions are available on our GitHub release page.

We've also shared a blog post about features that developers will want to know about coming in 4.4.

Now would be a great time to update any translations that you're able to help us with. See our project on CrowdIn.

If all goes well, we hope to release 4.4.0 next week... and then, it's straight on to work on what's next in 4.5!

We just released Mastodon 4.3.9 and 4.2.22. They contain a number of important bug fixes, and one security-adjacent fix.

If you are running nightly versions, an updated container image is available under the `nightly.2025-07-02` tag
