# Lemmy v0.7.0 Release (2020-06-22)
## Breaking Change to our image server: Pictshare to Pict-rs migration guide
This release replaces [pictshare](https://github.com/HaschekSolutions/pictshare) with [pict-rs](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs), and a script must be run on your server to upgrade.
To update, run:
```
cd /lemmy
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/migrate-pictshare-to-pictrs.bash
sudo bash migrate-pictshare-to-pictrs.bash
```
You'll also have to update your nginx config, use the [one here](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/master/ansible/templates/nginx.conf).
