The first stable release of the 5.0 line, and the first for Jellyfin 12. The full list of what changed is the 5.0.0 section of CHANGELOG.md.
Not verified for this release, by decision. Two items of the release QA checklist were not walked on the candidate: reverse-proxy forwarded-header attribution, and an upgrade from an older build over the top of an existing install (decided on #1729 on 2026-09-16). The native-client round trips were walked on iPhone and Apple TV with the official app and with Swiftfin, and not on the Android pair the checklist names. The pairwise co-existence phase of the provider matrix checked no pair, because the sibling repositories it pairs with are private (#1773). The soak window was closed by decision on 2026-09-21 after five days and a half on 5.0.0-JF12-beta.88 with no release-blocking defect reported; anything found on 5.0.0 afterwards is fixed forward on the 5.1 line.
