# Lemmy v0.9.0 Release (2021-01-25)
## Changes
Since our last release in October of last year, and we've had [~450](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/compare/v0.8.0...main) commits.
The biggest changes, as we'll outline below, are a re-work of Lemmy's database structure, a `v2` of Lemmy's API, and activitypub compliance fixes. The new re-worked DB is much faster, easier to maintain, and [now supports hierarchical rather than flat objects in the new API](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1275).
We've also seen the first release of [Lemmur](https://github.com/krawieck/lemmur/releases/tag/v0.1.1), an android / iOS (soon) / windows / linux client, as well as [Lemmer](https://github.com/uuttff8/Lemmy-iOS), a native iOS client. Much thanks to @krawieck, @shilangyu, and @uuttff8 for making these great clients. If you can, please contribute to their [patreon](https://www.patreon.com/lemmur) to help fund lemmur development.
## LemmyNet projects
### Lemmy Server
- [Moved views from SQL to Diesel](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1275). This was a spinal replacement for much of lemmy.
- Removed all the old fast_tables and triggers, and created new aggregates tables.
- Added a `v2` of the API to support the hierarchical objects created from the above changes.
- Moved continuous integration to [drone](https://cloud.drone.io/LemmyNet/lemmy/), now includes formatting, clippy, and cargo build checks, unit testing, and federation testing. [Drone also deploys both amd64 and arm64 images to dockerhub.](https://hub.docker.com/r/dessalines/lemmy)
- Split out documentation into git submodule.
- Shortened slur filter to avoid false positives.
- Added query performance testing and comparisons. Added indexes to make sure every query is `< 30 ms`.
- Added compilation time testing.
### Lemmy javascript / typescript client
- Updated the [lemmy-js-client](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client) to use the new `v2` API. Our API docs now reference this project's files, to show what the http / websocket forms and responses should look like.
- Drone now handles publishing its [npm packages.](https://www.npmjs.com/package/lemmy-js-client)
### Lemmy-UI
- Updated it to use the `v2` API via `lemmy-js-client`, required changing nearly every component.
- Added a live comment count.
- Added drone deploying, and builds for ARM.
- Fixed community link wrapping.
- Various other bug fixes.
### Lemmy Docs
- We moved documentation into a separate git repository, and support translation for the docs now!
- Moved our code of conduct into the documentation.
### Federation
This release includes some bug fixes for federation, and some changes to get us closer to compliance with the ActivityPub standard.
- fixed: [Community bans not federating](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1287)
- fixed: [Local posts sometimes got marked as remote](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1302)
- fixed: [Creator of post/comment is not notified about new child comments](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1325)
- fixed: [Community deletion not federated](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1256)
None of these are breaking changes, so federation between 0.9.0 and 0.8.11 will work without problems.
