 ## vX.Y.0 (future)


+
+## v2.20260804.0
+
+### Wrap-up
+
+This release focuses on fixing comment rendering, adding new configuration options for instance owners, and streamlining developer tooling. Comments in videos and community posts now render correctly again, a message appears when comments are disabled, and several new locales were made available to users.
+
+Instance owners gain SOCKS5 proxy support and the ability to set the videojs max buffer length via config.yml. Developer experience improves with Nix development files, a pinned Crystal version for linting, and an updated AI policy that properly bans AI slop.
