    Dropped python 3.5 support [manual action required, non-docker only]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    With Funkwhale 1.0, we're dropping support for Python 3.5. Before upgrading,
    ensure ``python3 --version`` returns ``3.6`` or higher.
    
    If it returns ``3.6`` or higher, you have nothing to do.
    
    If it returns ``3.5``, you will need to upgrade your Python version/Host, then recreate your virtual environment::
    
        rm -rf /srv/funkwhale/virtualenv
        python3 -m venv /srv/funkwhale/virtualenv
    
    Increased quality of JPEG thumbnails [manual action required]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Default quality for JPEG thumbnails was increased from 70 to 95, as 70 was producing visible artifacts in resized images.
    
    Because of this change, existing thumbnails will not load, and you will need to:
    
    1. delete the ``__sized__`` directory in your ``MEDIA_ROOT`` directory
    2. run ``python manage.py fw media generate-thumbnails`` to regenerate thumbnails with the enhanced quality
    
    If you don't want to regenerate thumbnails, you can keep the old ones by adding ``THUMBNAIL_JPEG_RESIZE_QUALITY=70`` to your .env file.
    
    Small API breaking change in ``/api/v1/libraries``
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    To allow easier crawling of public libraries on a pod,we had to make a slight breaking change
    to the behaviour of ``GET /api/v1/libraries``.
    
    Before, it returned only libraries owned by the current user.
    
    Now, it returns all the accessible libraries (including ones from other users and pods).
    
    If you are consuming the API via a third-party client and need to retrieve your libraries,
    use the ``scope`` parameter, like this: ``GET /api/v1/libraries?scope=me``
    
    API breaking change in ``/api/v1/albums``
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    To increase performance, querying ``/api/v1/albums`` doesn't return album tracks anymore. This caused
    some performance issues, especially as some albums and series have dozens or even hundreds of tracks.
    
    If you want to retrieve tracks for an album, you can query ``/api/v1/tracks/?album=<albumid>``.
    
    JWT deprecation
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    API Authentication using JWT is deprecated and will be removed in Funkwhale 1.0. Please use OAuth or application tokens
    and refer to our API documentation at https://docs.funkwhale.audio/swagger/ for guidance.

    0.21 "Agate" (2020-04-24)
    -------------------------
    
    This 0.21 release is dedicated to Agate, to thank her, for both having created the Funkwhale project, being the current lead developer, and for her courage of coming out. Thank you Agate from all the members of the Funkwhale community <3
    
    We are truly grateful as well to the dozens of people who contributed to this release with translations, development, documentation, reviews, design, testing, feedback, financial support, third-party projects and integrations… You made it possible!
    
    Upgrade instructions are available at
    https://docs.funkwhale.audio/admin/upgrading.html, there are also additional operations you need to execute, listed in the changelog below (search "Manual action").
    
    Channels and podcasts
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Funkwhale 0.21 includes a brand new feature: Channels!
    
    Channels can be used as a replacement to public libraries,
    to publish audio content, both musical and non-musical. They federate with other Funkwhale pods, but also other
    fediverse software, in particular Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica and Reel2Bits, meaning people can subscribe to your channel
    from any of these software. To get started with publication, simply visit your profile and create a channel from there.
    
    Each Funkwhale channel also comes with RSS feed that is compatible with existing podcasting applications, like AntennaPod
    on Android and, within Funkwhale, you can also subscribe to any podcast from its RSS feed!
    
    Many, many thanks to the numerous people who helped with the feature design, development and testing, and in particular
    to the members of the working group who met every week for months in order to get this done, and the members of other third-party
    projects who took the time to work with us to ensure compatibility.
    
    Redesigned navigation, player and queue
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    This release includes a full redesign of our navigation, player and queue. Overall, it should provide
    a better, less confusing experience, especially on mobile devices. This redesign was suggested
    14 months ago, and took a while, but thanks to the involvement and feedback of many people, we got it done!
    
    Improved search bar for searching remote objects
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    The search bar now support fetching arbitrary objects using a URL. In particular, you can use this to quickly:
    
    - Subscribe to a remote library via its URL
    - Listen a public track from another pod
    - Subscribe to a channel
    
    Screening for sign-ups and custom sign-up form
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Instance admins can now configure their pod so that registrations required manual approval from a moderator. This
    is especially useful on private or semi-private pods where you don't want to close registrations completely,
    but don't want spam or unwanted users to join your pod.
    
    When this is enabled and a new user register, their request is put in a moderation queue, and moderators
    are notified by email. When the request is approved or refused, the user is also notified by email.
    
    In addition, it's also possible to customize the sign-up form by:
    
    - Providing a custom help text, in markdown format
    - Including additional fields in the form, for instance to ask the user why they want to join. Data collected through these fields is included in the sign-up request and viewable by the mods
    
    Federated reports
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    It's now possible to send a copy of a report to the server hosting the reported object, in order to make moderation easier and more distributed.
    
    This feature is inspired by Mastodon's current design, and should work with at least Funkwhale and Mastodon servers.
    
    Improved search performance
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Our search engine went through a full rewrite to make it faster. This new engine is enabled
    by default when using the search bar, or when searching for artists, albums and tracks. It leverages
    PostgreSQL full-text search capabilities.
    
    During our tests, we observed huge performance improvements after the switch, by an order of
    magnitude. This should be especially perceptible on pods with large databases, more modest hardware
    or hard drives.
    
    We plan to remove the old engine in an upcoming release. In the meantime, if anything goes wrong,
    you can switch back by setting ``USE_FULL_TEXT_SEARCH=false`` in your ``.env`` file.
    
    Enforced email verification
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    The brand new ``ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_ENFORCE`` setting can be used to make email verification
    mandatory for your users. It defaults to ``false``, and doesn't apply to superuser accounts created through
    the CLI.
    
    If you enable this, ensure you have a SMTP server configured too.
    
    More reliable CLI importer [manual action required]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Our CLI importer is now more reliable and less prone to Out-of-Memory issues, especially when scanning large libraries. (hundreds of GB or bigger)
    
    We've also improved the directory crawling logic, so that you don't have to use glob patterns or specify extensions when importing. As a result, the syntax for providing directories to the command as changed slightly.
    
    If you use the ``import_files`` command, this means you should replace scripts that look like this::
    
        python api/manage.py import_files $LIBRARY_ID "/srv/funkwhale/data/music/**/*.ogg" "/srv/funkwhale/data/music/**/*.mp3" --recursive --noinput
    
    By this::
    
        python api/manage.py import_files $LIBRARY_ID "/srv/funkwhale/data/music/" --recursive --noinput
    
    And Funkwhale will happily import any supported audio file from the specified directory.
    
    User management through the server CLI
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    We now support user creation (incl. non-admin accounts), update and removal directly
    from the server CLI. Typical use cases include:
    
    - Changing a user password from the command line
    - Creating or updating users from deployments scripts or playbooks
    - Removing or granting permissions or upload quota to multiple users at once
    - Marking multiple users as inactive
    
    All user-related commands are available under the ``python manage.py fw users`` namespace.
    Please refer to the `Admin documentation <https://docs.funkwhale.audio/admin/commands.html#user-management>`_ for
    more information and instructions.
    
    Progressive web app [Manual action suggested, non-docker only]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    We've made Funkwhale's Web UI a Progressive Web Application (PWA), in order to improve the user experience
    during offline use, and on mobile devices.
    
    In order to fully benefit from this change, if your pod isn't deployed using Docker, ensure
    the following instruction is present in your nginx configuration::
    
        location /front/ {
            # Add the following line in the /front/ location
            add_header Service-Worker-Allowed "/";
        }
    
    Postgres docker changed environment variable [manual action required, docker multi-container only]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    If you're running with docker and our multi-container setup, there was a breaking change starting in the 11.7 postgres image (https://github.com/docker-library/postgres/pull/658)
    
    You need to add this to your .env file: ``POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust``
    
    Newer deployments aren't affected.
    
    Upgrade from Postgres 10 to 11 [manual action required, docker all-in-one only]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    With our upgrade to Alpine 3.10, the ``funkwhale/all-in-one`` image now includes PostgreSQL 11.
    
    In order to update to Funkwhale 0.21, you will first need to uprade Funkwhale's PostgreSQL database, following the steps below::
    
        # open a shell as the Funkwhale user
        sudo -u funkwhale -H bash
    
        # move to the funkwhale data directory
        # (replace this with your own if you used a different path)
        cd /srv/funkwhale/data
    
        # stop the funkwhale container
        docker stop funkwhale
    
        # backup the database files
        cp -r data/ ../postgres.bak
    
        # Upgrade the database
        docker run --rm \
            -v $(pwd)/data:/var/lib/postgresql/10/data \
            -v $(pwd)/upgraded-postgresql:/var/lib/postgresql/11/data \
            -e PGUSER=funkwhale \
            -e POSTGRES_INITDB_ARGS="-U funkwhale --locale C --encoding UTF8" \
            tianon/postgres-upgrade:10-to-11
    
        # replace the Postgres 10 files with Postgres 11 files
        mv data/ postgres-10
        mv upgraded-postgresql/ data
    
    Once you have completed the Funkwhale upgrade with our regular instructions and everything works properly,
    you can remove the backups/old files::
    
        sudo -u funkwhale -H bash
        cd /srv/funkwhale/data
        rm -rf ../postgres.bak
        rm -rf postgres-10

    -------------------
    
    Upgrade instructions are available at
    https://docs.funkwhale.audio/index.html
    
    Denormalized audio permission logic in a separate table to enhance performance
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    With this release, we're introducing a performance enhancement that should reduce the load on the database and API
    servers (cf https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/merge_requests/939).
    
    Under the hood, we now maintain a separate table to link users to the tracks they are allowed to see. This change is **disabled**
    by default, but should be enabled by default starting in Funkwhale 0.21.
    
    If you want to try it now, add
    ``MUSIC_USE_DENORMALIZATION=True`` to your ``.env`` file, restart Funkwhale, and run the following command::
    
        python manage.py rebuild_music_permissions
    
    This shouldn't cause any regression, but we'd appreciate if you could test this before the 0.21 release and report any unusual
    behaviour regarding tracks, albums and artists visibility.
    
    Enhancements:
    
    - Added a retry option for failed uploads (#942)
    - Added feedback via loading spinner when searching a remote library
    - Denormalized audio permission logic in a separate table to enhance performance
    - Placeholders will now be shown if no content is available across the application (#750)
    - Reduce the number of simultaneous DB connections under some deployment scenario
    - Support byYear filtering in Subsonic API (#936)
    
    Bugfixes:
    
    - Ensure password input doesn't overflow outside of container (#933)
    - Fix audio serving issues under S3/nginx when signatures are enabled
    - Fix import crash when importing M4A file with no embedded cover (#946)
    - Fix tag exclusion in custom radios (#950)
    - Fixed an issue with embed player CSS being purged during build (#935)
    - Fixed escaped pod name displayed on home/about page (#945)
    - Fixed pagination in subsonic getSongsByGenre endpoint (#954)
    - Fixed style glitches in dropdowns
    
    Documentation:
    
    - Documented how to create DB extension by hand in case of permission error during migrations (#934)

    Edits on tracks, albums and artists
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Funkwhale was a bit annoying when it camed to metadata. Tracks, albums and artists profiles
    were created from audio file tags, but basically immutable after that (unless you had
    admin access to Django's UI, which wasn't ideal to do this kind of changes).
    
    With this release, everyone can suggest changes on track, album and artist pages. Users
    with the "library" permission can review suggested edits in a dedicated interface
    and apply/reject them.
    
    Approved edits are broadcasted via federation, to ensure other instances get the information
    too.
    
    Not all fields are currently modifiable using this feature. Especially, it's not possible
    to suggest a new album cover, or reassign a track to a different album or artist. Those will
    be implemented in a future release.
    
    Admin UI for tracks, albums, artists, libraries and uploads
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    As part of our ongoing effort to make Funkwhale easier to manage for instance owners,
    this release includes a brand new administration interface to deal with:
    
    - tracks
    - albums
    - artists
    - libraries
    - uploads
    
    You can use this UI to quickly search for any object, delete objects in batch, understand
    where they are coming from etc. This new UI should remove the need to go through Django's
    admin in the vast majority of cases (but also includes a link to Django's admin when needed).
    
    Artist hiding in the interface
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    It's now possible for users to hide artists they don't want to see.
    
    Content linked to hidden artists will not show up in the interface anymore. Especially:
    
    - Hidden artists tracks are removed from the current queue
    - Starting a playlist will skip tracks from hidden artists
    - Recently favorited, recently listened and recently added widgets on the homepage won't include content from hidden artists
    - Radio suggestions will exclude tracks from hidden artists
    - Hidden artists won't appear in Subsonic apps
    
    Results linked to hidden artists will continue to show up in search results and their profile page remains accessible.
    
    OAuth2 authorization for better integration with third-party apps
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Funkwhale now support the OAuth2 authorization and authentication protocol which will allow
    third-party apps to interact with Funkwhale on behalf of users.
    
    This feature makes it possible to build third-party apps that have the same capabilities
    as Funkwhale's Web UI. The only exception at the moment is for actions that requires
    special permissions, such as modifying instance settings or moderation (but this will be
    enabled in a future release).
    
    If you want to start building an app on top of Funkwhale's API, please check-out
    `https://docs.funkwhale.audio/api.html`_ and `https://docs.funkwhale.audio/developers/authentication.html`_.
    
    Better error handling and display during import
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Funkwhale should now be more resilient to missing tags in imported files, and give
    you more insights when something goes wrong, including the specific tags that were missing
    or invalid, and additional debug information to share in your support requests.
    
    This information is available in all pages that list uploads, when clicking on the button next to the upload status.
    
    Support for S3-compatible storages to store media files
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Storing all media files on the Funkwhale server itself may not be possible or desirable
    in all scenarios. You can now configure Funkwhale to store those files in a S3
    bucket instead.
    
    Check-out `https://docs.funkwhale.audio/admin/external-storages.html`_ if you want to use
    this feature.
    
    Prune library command
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Users are often surprised by Funkwhale's tendency to keep track, album and artist
    metadata even if no associated files exist.
    
    To help with that, we now offer a ``prune_library`` management command you can run
    to purge your database from obsolete entries. `Please refer to our documentation
    for usage instructions <https://docs.funkwhale.audio/admin/commands.html#pruning-library>`_.
    
    Check in-place files command
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    When using in-place import with a living audio library, you'll quite often rename or
    remove files from the file system. Unfortunately, Funkwhale keeps a reference to those
    files in the database, which results in unplayable tracks.
    
    To help with that, we now offer a ``check_inplace_files`` management command you can run
    to purge your database from obsolete files. `Please refer to our documentation
    for usage instructions <https://docs.funkwhale.audio/admin/commands.html#remove-obsolete-files-from-database>`_.
