This is a relatively high bar for us, and while we +will still have a lot of work to do afterwards (especially around accessibility and +internationalisation), it's a milestone we're excited to reach. + +You can download images from `Docker Hub `_, +or use the image name ``jointakahe/takahe:0.5``. + + +Upgrade Notes +------------- + +Migrations +~~~~~~~~~~ + +There are new database migrations - they are backwards-compatible, +so apply the migrations *before* you update your webserver and stator deployments. -- cgit v1.2.3
