Sygnal 0.10.1 (2021-08-16)

This release only makes changes to the way Docker images are built and released; it is otherwise identical to 0.10.0. Administrators who do not use Docker as their installation method have no need to upgrade from 0.10.0.

Updates to the Docker image

• Fix the docker image build from failing due to git not being installed. This issue was introduced in v0.10.0. (#246)

• Automatically build the Docker image for each release and push it to Docker Hub using GitHub Actions. (#249)

Internal Changes

• Add a lint script (scripts-dev/lint.sh) for developers. (#243)
• Add more comprehensive Newsfile (changelog fragment) checks in CI. (#250)

Sygnal 0.10.0 (2021-08-09)

Database Removal

Sygnal is now stateless, and does not rely on a database of any kind.
You may remove your existing SQLite or PostgreSQL databases once you are satisfied that this release is working as intended.
Configuration changes are not necessary, as the database section will be ignored if present.
