So RIP Deno… They are stopping work on the runtime over the next 12 months.
I was hoping that we could some day have a Node.js alternative with a more modern interface/tooling, but with this and Bun now being part of Anthropic and vibe-(re)coded to the extreme, it does not seem it will happen.

… and I was quite right to be doubtful of the longevity of those 2 at the start, they both raised money and I could not see how they could continue to exists long-term and keep their investors happy.

I am so happy that we are finally releasing this version. It's 7 months of work from the team and it contains a lot of improvements to Mastodon, including building blocks for even more ambitious things to come in the next version.

This is more than 1600 Pull Requests written and reviewed (by humans!)

We see the same with Mastodon and it’s becoming to be really annoying and time-consuming 😞

Petit appel à la communauté Mastodon francophone (mais qui parle aussi anglais), en particulier celleux qui ne sont pas dans la tech ou les logiciels libres : notre cheffe designeuse chez Mastodon @Imani organise la semaine prochaine des ateliers de 2h (de 15h à 17h) sur divers sujets. Elle adorerait avoir des participant·es qui sont "simples" utilisateurices de Mastodon ou d'autre réseau social.

Mercredi je représenterais @Mastodon à l’Assemblée Nationale pour une table ronde autour du logiciel libre, organisée dans le cadre de la Commission d'enquête sur les dépendances structurelles et les vulnérabilités systémiques dans le secteur du numérique et les risques pour l’indépendance de la France dont la rapporteuse est [@cyrielle_chatelain](https://piaille.fr/@cyrielle_chatelain )

Je me réjouis de voir la représentation nationale de saisir de ces sujets (même tardivement)

I am very happy to finally be able to announce this. We are working hard (you can’t imagine) to secure funding to continue to improve Mastodon, and are very grateful that amazing organisation like @Sovereign Tech Agency invest in open-source, and especially Mastodon.

Developing open-source software is hard (and it is not becoming easier) and quality software requires a lot of hard work. Our team is growing and we are delivering more polished features than ever, and we continue to try to push it further
