Lemmy v0.7.0 Release (2020-06-2X)

Breaking Change to our image server: Pictshare to Pict-rs migration guide

This release replaces pictshare with 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
