6.3.319 Nov 2024 14:27 major bugfix: : Broken thumbnails on live replay. Detecting portrait rotation of some video. Don't allow to select a frame from a live to set the thumbnail. Lost video stream with specific transcoding settings and video input. Creating playlist without thumbnail when using the REST API. `.mov` video upload on some Windows versions. `video-plugin-metadata.result` client plugin hook.
6.2.103 Sep 2024 21:25 minor bugfix: Maintenance: Add ability for users to see the error details when the embed player crashed with the message "The player is not compatible with your web browser. Please try latest Firefox version." The web browser also sends a client error log to the server. : Stuck runner jobs due to DB concurrency Respect OS orientation settings in PWA. "No results" not displayed on no video results. Do not display "Download" option on lives. Invalid current password error when updating user password. Slow hotkeys detection. Hidden runner jobs tab when remote runner is only enabled for transcription. Broken HLS P2P by correctly updating HLS infohash on privacy update. Videos filters pastille labels for categories and languages. Broken youtube-dl import for videos with too long chapter titles. Display emojis in description preview in video edition form. Avoid node-datachannel native dependency that prevents some OS to install PeerTube dependencies.
6.2.022 Jul 2024 09:25 major bugfix: IMPORTANT NOTES: Added `pip3` as required PeerTube dependency to support automatic transcription. You must install it on your system. Maintenance: Check for latest plugin versions every 4 hours (instead of 12 hours). We recommend admins to update their current configuration to apply this change for faster plugin new version notifications. Add a configuration to configure video thumbnail/preview sizes. Support for removing non-existent objects from object storage in prune-storage script. Support for moving original video files to object storage/filesystem in create-move-video-storage-job script. Add house-keeping script to recover disk space by removing remote files (thumbnails, avatars...). Add `max_request_attempts` object storage configuration. Docker: Add missing Docker env to configure object storage (user exports and original video files). ### Plugins/Themes/Embed API. Add ability to register the same setting multiple times to replace the old one . Add `getUser()` client helper. Detect internal link in plugin page to avoid reloading entire application when not needed. Features: :tada: Add automatic transcription of videos to generate subtitles :tada: Uses Whisper engines and models to create the subtitle and guess the video language. Has to be enabled by admins in the configuration web interface: PeerTube will automatically download and install Whisper binaries/models. Transcription can also be performed by PeerTube runners, as it can consume a lot of CPU. Transcription generation can also be run manually by administrators. :tada: Improve comment moderation :tada: Introduce a new video comment policy that requires comments to be approved first. Video owners have a dedicated page to list, view and take action on comments made on their videos. :tada: Implement auto-tagging on comments and videos for admins and on comments for video owners :tada: Comments and videos can be automatically tagged using PeerTube rules ("contains a link" for example)

6.1.030 Apr 2024 09:45 major feature: IMPORTANT NOTES: You must update nginx configuration: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/support/nginx/peertube. Add `location /api/v1/users/ / +/imports/import-resumable ` block. This release changes the way how PeerTube counts a video view: Views are taken into account after 10 seconds instead of 30 seconds (can be changed in YAML config). Views use a *Session ID generated by the web browser instead of using the request IP (former behavior can be restored in YAML config). The goal of this change is to get r to how other video platforms like Mux, Vimeo, or Instagram work. SECURITY: Compact ActivityPub JSON-LD objects before using them to prevent incorrect access control @tesaguri. Protect ActivityPub information related to private/internal/blocked videos. ### Admin config (non-exhaustive). Breaking changes: Rename `views.videos.ip_view_expiration` to `views.videos.view_expiration`. YAML web admin configs: Add `storyboards.enabled` config to disable storyboard generation. Remove `services.twitter.whitelisted`: Twitter/X doesn't seem to need this anymore. This means that PeerTube will try to inject the video player in Twitter/X by default instead of using a classic image/description. YAML config only: Add `open_telemetry.metrics.playback_stats_interval` config to customize how often viewers send playback stats to server. Add `views.videos.watching_interval. anonymous,users ` configs to change how often the web browser sends "is watching" information to the server. Add `stats.registration_requests.enabled` and `stats.abuses.enabled` configs to hide instance registration/abuse requests public stats (average response time, total registration/abuse requests etc.). Add `stats.total_moderators.enabled` and `stats.total_admins.enabled`configs to hide total admins/moderators public stats. Add `object_storage.streaming_playlists.store_live_streams` config to not store live stream chunks into object storage (when enabled for streaming playlists

Add `object_storage.streaming_playlists.store_live_streams` config to not store live stream chunks into object storage (when enabled for streaming playlists). Set `open_telemetry.metrics.http_request_duration.enabled` to `false` by default to avoid performance on the Prometheus backend due to high metric cardinality. Maintenance: Also genera

We've made some modifications in v6.0.0 IMPORTANT NOTES, so if you upgrade from PeerTube v6.0.0: Ensure `location = /api/v1/videos/upload-resumable ` has been replaced by `location /api/v1/videos/(upload-resumable ( / +/source/replace-resumable)) ` in your nginx configuration. Ensure you updated `storage.web_videos` configuration value to use `web-videos/` directory name. Ensure your directory name on filesystem is the same as `storage.web_videos` configuration value: directory on filesystem must be renamed from `videos/` to `web-videos/` to represent the value of `storage.web_videos`. : CPU going to 100 on odd cpu count. Increase storyboard generation job TTL. Add missing `generate-video-storyboard` job type in admin jobs list. Regenerate storyboard after studio job.
6.0.029 Nov 2023 07:25 major feature: IMPORTANT NOTES: We have many important notes in this release. We know it's a pain for sysadmin, but consider each one as a major step forward for PeerTube quality!. Sysadmins important notes: Remove NodeJS 16 support (see https://nodejs.org/fr/blog/announcements/nodejs16-eol): Please upgrade to NodeJS 18 before upgrading PeerTube. If you use NodeSource repository, you may have to migrate to their new repository: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/wiki/How-to-migrate-to-the-new-repository. Check in `production.yaml` that you use `127.0.0.1` instead of `localhost` for `listen.hostname`, `database.hostname` and `redis.hostname` as Node 18 favours IPv6 for `localhost` resolution. Remove WebTorrent support in player: "WebTorrent videos" are renamed to "Web Video". The video format is the same, we just stop to use P2P for these videos. There is no "Auto" quality anymore for Web Videos. The viewer has to explicitly choose the video resolution. We still use P2P with the HLS player, which is the recommended transcoding format since several versions. See https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube//5465 for more information. Configuration key that you must update in your `production.yaml` if not automatically done by your upgrade script: `storage.videos` must be renamed to `storage.web_videos`. The value of this configuration doesn't need to be changed: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/config/production.yaml.example#L151. `transcoding.webtorrent` must be renamed to `transcoding.web_videos`: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/config/production.yaml.example#L522. `object_storage.videos` must be renamed to `object_storage.web_videos`. The value of `object_storage.web_videos.bucket_name` doesn't need to be changed: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/config/production.yaml.example#L223. `storage.storyboards` must be added: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/config/production.yaml.example#L157. Peer
6.0.0-rc.220 Nov 2023 12:26 minor bugfix: Since v6.0.0-rc.1 : Correctly generate `production.yaml.new` that should merge your current `production.yaml` with new keys defined by PeerTube.

Support NodeJS 14 and 15. Remove ES5 module support (breaks compatibility with web browsers we didn't support). PeerTube releases now contain client source maps helping client deging (for developers and admins). It's the reason why the release size is bigger (we think it's worth it). Remove deprecated static routes (/static/avatars/, /static/previews/ and /static/video-captions/). PeerTube now uses a unique name for thumbnails, previews and captions allowing to correctly cache these resources. It could break some third party clients that guessed these filenames depending on the video UUID.
