The first beta version for Mastodon 5.0 is now available!
After testing it on mastodon.social for a few weeks, we believe that this version is stable enough to be deployed by others, so if you like testing our new things feel free to install this beta version and report any bugs your find on GitHub or our community forum (https://community.joinmastodon.org/)
We expect the final release to happen within the next 2-3 weeks.

@MastodonEngineering the Advanced Web Interface is what I would call broken. the columns jump when searching, there is a lot of unused space in the left column that could be used FOR THE SEARCH BAR instead of adding a full EMPTY column. sorry to rant, but that design just doesn't work for me. keep on trucking!
