Chocobozzz/PeerTube v7.0.0

on GitHub

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Ensure you have storage.original_video_files set in your configuration file: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/config/production.yaml.example#L159.
  If you did not configure this key but have already enabled "Keep a version of the input file" configuration, original files may have been saved in versions/peertube-v6.x.x/storage/original-video-files/ directories. If this is the case, you must move these files in the new directory location specified by your storage.original_video_files configuration
• Safari desktop versions < 13 are not supported anymore
• iOS versions < 14.5 are not supported anymore
• PeerTube instance requires python >= 3.8 for transcription

Docker

• Fix private IPv6 subnet (we used a subnet reserved for examples)

Plugins/Themes/Embed API

• Remove client plugin hooks: filter:api.recently-added-videos.videos.list.{params,result}, filter:api.local-videos.videos.list.{params,result}, filter:api.trending-videos.videos.list.{params,result} filter:api.trending-videos.videos.list.result in favour of filter:api.browse-videos.videos.list.{params,result}
• Header logo doesn't have the .icon class anymore (it still has the icon-logo class)
• All CSS variables have been replaced so it's easier to theme PeerTube:
  • PeerTube generates a color palette based on a few main colors (primary, fg, bg, bg-secondary...): https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/client/src/sass/application.scss#L27
  • Some new variables fallback to old variables to limit theme breaks

Admin config (non-exhaustive)

• Ensure instance.default_client_route (in web admin -> Configuration -> Basic -> Landing page) has a correct path: /videos/trending, /videos/local and /videos/recently-added have been removed in favour of /videos/browse
• Add ability to configure STUN servers IPs: webrtc.stun_servers
• Remove client.videos.miniature.display_author_avatar config: author avatars are now always displayed
