StatusNet 0.9.1

StatusNet 0.9.1 ("Everybody Hurts") is a minor bug and feature release over its predecessor, StatusNet 0.9.0. Because of incompatibilities in the OStatus code with 0.9.0, it is highly recommended that all sites upgrade to the new version as soon as possible.

Download
The software is available at http://status.net/statusnet-0.9.1.tar.gz

Upgrade
Users of version 0.9.0 should be able to upgrade in-place. The core database schema hasn't changed. However, it is a good idea to run scripts/checkschema.php after the in-place upgrade.
