Lemmy v0.6.0 Release (2020-01-16)

This is the biggest release by far:
- Avatars!
- Optional Email notifications for username mentions, post and comment replies.
- Ability to change your password and email address.
- Can set a custom language.
- Lemmy-wide settings to disable downvotes, and close registration.
- A better documentation system, hosted in lemmy itself.
- Huge DB performance gains (everthing down to <
30ms) by using materialized views. - Fixed major issue with similar post URL and title searching.
- Upgraded to Actix
2.0 - Faster comment / post voting.
- Better small screen support.
- Lots of bug fixes, refactoring of back end code.
Another major announcement is that Lemmy now has another lead developer besides me, @felix@radical.town. Theyve created a better documentation system, implemented RSS feeds, simplified docker and project configs, upgraded actix, working on federation, a whole lot else.
