# Hey folks! Lemmy 0.19 was released this week! It brings a bunch of awesome new
features
[https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-12-15_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.0_-_Instance_blocking,_Scaled_sort,_and_Federation_Queue],
so I hope you are all willing to forgive some downtime in order to upgrade to
this latest version. Unfortunately some migration will be necessary as part of
this upgrade, so it might take a while, but I will try to keep it as short as
possible. I hope you are all having a great holiday period, and I will see you
soon in 0.19!
With the release of the new version what can we expect?
I had to close and re-open the app and it made me sign in again, but so far so hood.
I sorry what you did there
