Appwrite 1.9.6 is now available for self-hosting. It resolves the upgrade and migration issues the community reported after 1.9.5.

Most notably, this release includes:

- Automatic repair of missing Git provider attributes on Functions and Sites when upgrading from 1.9.5, with no manual database changes required
- Idempotent migrations that skip attributes and collections that already exist instead of failing
- More reliable healthchecks for the Appwrite container and MongoDB, and accurate connectivity reporting in the doctor task

Head over to our [migration guide](https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/self-hosting/production/updates) to learn how you can upgrade your Appwrite instance.
