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" + +[ameba]: https://github.com/crystal-ameba/ameba +[#4256]: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/4256 + + +### 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
