4.8.0.3 is the third bugfix release after 4.8.0.

4.8.0 is a huge release, after a hiatus of more than four months. It includes a revamped database. Since this touches almost all of the code base, please be careful when upgrading and make sure you have a backup of your database and environment variables.

Read more about the release on Patreon and check out the known issues.

Upgrading should be fairly straightforward otherwise. Make sure you check out the documentation.

If you run into problems please open a ticket on GitHub. I expect to release fixes every week.
