# CHANGELOG
## vX.Y.0 (future)
## v2.20241110.0
### Wrap-up
This release is most importantly here to fix to the annoying "Youtube API returned error 400"
error that prevented all channel pages from loading.
If you're updating from the previous release, it provides no improvements on the ability to play
videos. 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

`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`

[#4877]: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/4877
## v2.20240825.0 (2024-08-25)
### 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"

[#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 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.
