[semver]: https://semver.org/

### New features & important changes
#### For users
* The search bar now has a button that you can click!
* Youtube URLs can be pasted directly in the search bar. Prepend search query with a
backslash (`\`) to disable that feature (useful if you need to search for a video whose
title contains some youtube URL).
* On the channel page the "streams" tab can be sorted by either: "newest", "oldest" or "popular"
* Lots of translations have been updated (thanks to our contributors on Weblate!)
* Videos embedded in local HTML files (e.g: a webpage saved from a blog) can now be played
#### For instance owners
* Invidious now has the ability to provide a `po_token` and `visitordata` to Youtube in order to
circumvent current Youtube restrictions.
* Invidious can use an (optional) external signature server like [inv_sig_helper]. Please note that
some videos can't be played without that signature server.
* The Helm charts were moved to a separate repo: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious-helm-chart
* We have changed how containers are released: the `latest` tag now tracks tagged releases, whereas
the `master` tag tracks the most recent commits of the `master` branch ("nightly" builds).
[inv_sig_helper]: https://github.com/iv-org/inv_sig_helper
#### For developpers
* The versions of Crystal that we test in CI/CD are now: `1.9.2`, `1.10.1`, `1.11.2`, `1.12.1`.
Please note that due to a bug in the `libxml` bindings (See [#4256]), versions prior to `1.10.0`
are not recommended to use.
* Thanks to @syeopite, the code is now [ameba] compliant.
* Ameba is part of our CI/CD pipeline, and its rules will be enforced in future PRs.
* The transcript code has been rewritten to permit transcripts as a feature rather than being
only a workaround for captions. Trancripts feature is coming soon!
* Various fixes regarding the logic interacting with Youtube
* The `sort_by` parameter can be used on the `/api/v1/channels/{id}/streams` endpoint. Accepted
values are: "newest", "oldest" and "popular"

### Bugs fixed
#### User-side
* Channels: fixed broken "subscribers" and "views" counters
* Watch page: playback position is reset at the end of a video, so that the next time this video
is watched, it will start from the beginning rather than 15 seconds before the end
* Watch page: the items in the "add to playlist" drop down are now sorted alphabetically
* Videos: the "genre" URL is now always pointing to a valid webpage
* Playlists: Fixed `Could not parse N episodes` error on podcast playlists
* All external links should now have the [`rel`] attibute set to `noreferrer noopener` for
increased privacy.
* Preferences: Fixed the admin-only "modified source code" input being ignored
* Watch/channel pages: use the full image URL in `og:image` and `twitter:image` meta tags
[`rel`]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/rel
#### API
* fixed the `local` parameter not applying to `formatStreams` on `/api/v1/videos/{id}`
* fixed an `Index out of bounds` error hapenning when a playlist had no videos
* fixed duplicated query parameters in proxied video URLs
* Return actual video height/width/fps rather than hard coded values
* Fixed the `/api/v1/popular` endpoint not returning a proper error code/message when the
popular page/endpoint are disabled.
