 # CHANGELOG

-## 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
-* 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

-
-## 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"

-
-### 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.
