Lots of small improvements across the user experience, and opt-in search, make this an important release.

There's also a really nice deep dive into the updates here.

This looks like a really nice release, loads of polish

Looks great! I'm running the upgrade on my instance right now.

For anyone else who is updating, be sure to take a look at the updated dependencies in the upgrade notes.

Hopefully search isn't straight up broken and non functional anymore.

You love to see it.

I love Mastadon. :D

It really needs to be opt-out, but this is a good start.

I think forcing all posts to be opted-in to the search, and depending on users to opt-out, would be far more controversial? Either way, the user does get to control this within the platform.

Not all. The option is just about public ones anyway. Unlisted and private posts are not searchable. That's why Unlisted and Private options for writing posts exist. Restricting search for PUBLIC posts makes no sense at all.
