# Lemmy v0.7.0 Release (2020-06-23)
## Breaking Change to our image server: Pictshare to Pict-rs migration guide
This release replaces [pictshare ](https://github.com/HaschekSolutions/pictshare )
with [pict-rs ](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs ), which improves performance
and security.
This release replaces [pictshare ](https://github.com/HaschekSolutions/pictshare ) with [pict-rs ](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs ), and a script must be run on your server to upgrade.
Overall, since our last major release in January (v0.6.0), we have closed over
[100 issues! ](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/milestone/16?closed=1 )
To update, run:
- Site-wide list of recent comments
- Reconnecting websockets
- Many more themes, including a default light one.
- Expandable embeds for post links (and thumbnails), from
[iframely ](https://github.com/itteco/iframely )
- Better icons
- Emoji autocomplete to post and message bodies, and an Emoji Picker
- Post body now searchable
- Community title and description is now searchable
- Simplified cross-posts
- Better documentation
- LOTS more languages
- Lots of bugs squashed
- And more ...
## Upgrading
Before starting the upgrade, make sure that you have a working backup of your
database and image files. See our
[documentation ](https://dev.lemmy.ml/docs/administration_backup_and_restore.html )
for backup instructions.
**With Ansible:**
```
# deploy with ansible from your local lemmy git repo
git pull
cd ansible
ansible-playbook lemmy.yml
# connect via ssh to run the migration script
ssh your-server
cd /lemmy/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/migrate-pictshare-to-pictrs.bash
chmod +x migrate-pictshare-to-pictrs.bash
sudo ./migrate-pictshare-to-pictrs.bash
```
**With manual Docker installation:**
```
# run these commands on your server
cd /lemmy
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/ansible/templates/nginx.conf
# Replace the {{ vars }}
sudo mv nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy.conf
sudo nginx -s reload
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/migrate-pictshare-to-pictrs.bash
chmod +x migrate-pictshare-to-pictrs.bash
sudo bash migrate-pictshare-to-pictrs.bash
```
You'll also have to update your nginx config, use the [one here ](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/master/ansible/templates/nginx.conf ).
