If updating from a commit in-between release, it removes the "Please sign in" error caused +by a previous attempt at restoring video playback on large instances. + +In the preferences, a new option allows for control of video preload. When enabled, this option +tells the browser to load the video as soon as the page is loaded (this used to be the default). +When disabled, the video starts loading only when the "play" button is pressed. + +New interface languages available: Bulgarian, Welsh and Lombard + +New dependency required: `tzdata`. + +An HTTP proxy can be configured directly in Invidious, if needed. \ +**NOTE:** In that case, it is recommended to comment out `force_resolve`. + + +### New features & important changes + +#### For users + +* Channels: Fix "Youtube API returned error 400" error preventing channel pages from loading +* Channels: Shorts can now be sorted by "newest", "oldest" and "popular" +* Preferences: Addition of the new "preload" option +* New interface languages available: Bulgarian, Welsh and Lombard +* Added "Filipino (auto-generated)" to the list of caption languages available +* Lots of new translations from Weblate + +#### For instance owners + +* Allow the configuration of an HTTP proxy to talk to Youtube +* Invidious tries to reconnect to `inv_sig_helper` if the socket is closed +* The instance list is downloaded in the background to improve redirection speed +* New `colorize_logs` option makes each log level a different color + +#### For developpers + +* `/api/v1/channels/{id}/shorts` now supports the `sort-by` parameter with the following values: + `newest`, `oldest` and `popular` +* Older `/api/v1/channels/xyz/{id}` (tab name before UCID) were removed +* API/Search: New video metadata available: `isNew`, `is4k`, `is8k`, `isVr180`, `isVr360`, + `is3d` and `hasCaptions` + +### Bugs fixed + +#### User-side + +* Channels: The second page of shorts now loads as expected +* Channels: Fixed intermittent empty "playlists" tab +* Search: Fixed `youtu.be` URLs not being properly redirected to the watch page +* Fixed `DB::MappingException` error on the subscriptions feed (due to missing `tzdata` in docker) +* Switching to another instance is much faster +* Fixed an "invalid byte sequence" error when subscribing to a playlist +* Videos: Playback URLs were sometimes broken when cached and `inv_sig_helper` was used + +#### For instance owners + +* Fix `force_resolve` being ignored in some cases + +#### API + +* API/Videos: Fixed `live_now` and `premiere_timestamp` sometimes not having the right values ### Full list of pull requests merged since the last release (newest first) diff --git a/shard.yml b/shard.yml index 4c3f75266..2e4df0454 100644 --- a/shard.yml +++ b/shard.yml @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ name: invidious -version: 2.20240825.2-dev +version: 2.20241110.0 authors: - Invidious team
