I released two new versions of Mastodon Bird UI. Mastodon Bird UI is now versioned based on the Mastodon version it targets, followed by the release date. This makes more sense and reduces cognitive load.
The new format is:
4.8.0-alpha.3-2026-10-11
└┬┘ └---┬─┘ └--─┬──┘
│ │ └─ release date
│ └─ Mastodon nightly (main)
└─ Mastodon version
A stable release simply has no middle part: 4.7.3-2026-10-11.
Version 4.7.3-2026-10-11 brings all the fixes from the 4.0.1rc1 pre-release to stable: https://github.com/rollecode/mastodon-bird-ui/releases/tag/4.7.3-2026-10-11
Pre-release 4.8.0-alpha.3-2026-10-11 is for the current Mastodon development version, from before the 5.0 redesign: https://github.com/rollecode/mastodon-bird-ui/releases/tag/4.8.0-alpha.3-2026-10-11
We'll have a branch for v5 that explores redesigning Mastodon for the "traditional Mastodon Bird UI" theme, along with our ultra-accessible variants for visually impaired and color-blind people.
