    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.

    Upgrade instructions are available at
    https://docs.funkwhale.audio/index.html
    
    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>`_.

    Avoid mixed content when deploying mono-container behind proxy [Manual action required]
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    *You are only concerned if you use the mono-container docker deployment behind a reverse proxy*
    
    Because of `an issue in our mono-container configuration <https://github.com/thetarkus/docker-funkwhale/issues/19>`_, users deploying Funkwhale via docker
    using our `funkwhale/all-in-one` image could face some mixed content warnings (and possibly other troubles)
    when browsing the Web UI.
    
    This is fixed in this release, but on existing deployments, you'll need to add ``NESTED_PROXY=1`` in your container
    environment (either in your ``.env`` file, or via your container management tool), then recreate your funkwhale container.
    
    Enhancements:
    
    - Added title on hover for truncated content (#766)
    - Ask for confirmation before leaving upload page if there is a an upload in process (#630)
    - Exclude in-place imported files from quota computation (#570)
    - Truncate filename in library file table to ensure correct display of the table. (#735)
    
    Bugfixes:
    
    - Avoid mixed content when deploying mono-container behind HTTPS proxy (thetarkus/docker-funkwhale#19)
    - Display new notifications immediatly on notifications page (#729)
    - Ensure cover art from uploaded files is picked up properly on existing albums (#757)
    - Fixed a crash when federating a track with unspecified position
    - Fixed broken Activity and Actor modules in django admin (#767)
    - Fixed broken sample apache configuration (#764)
    - Fixed constant and unpredictable reordering during file upload (#716)
    - Fixed delivering of local activities causing unintended side effects, such as rollbacking changes (#737)
    - Fixed escaping issues in translated strings (#652)
    - Fixed saving moderation policy when clicking on "Cancel" (#751)
    - i18n: Update page title when changing the App's language. (#511)

    Fix Gzip compression to avoid BREACH exploit [security] [manual action required]
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    In the 0.18 release, we've enabled Gzip compression by default for various
    content types, including HTML and JSON. Unfortunately, enabling Gzip compression
    on such content types could make BREACH-type exploits possible.
    
    We've removed the risky content-types from our nginx template files, to ensure new
    instances are safe, however, if you already have an instance, you need
    to double check that your host nginx virtualhost do not include the following
    values for the ``gzip_types`` settings::
    
       application/atom+xml
       application/json
       application/ld+json
       application/activity+json
       application/manifest+json
       application/rss+xml
       application/xhtml+xml
       application/xml
    
    For convenience, you can also replace the whole setting with the following snippet::
    
       gzip_types
          application/javascript
          application/vnd.geo+json
          application/vnd.ms-fontobject
          application/x-font-ttf
          application/x-web-app-manifest+json
          font/opentype
          image/bmp

          image/x-icon
          text/cache-manifest

    Many thanks to @jibec for the report!
    
    Fix Apache configuration file for 0.18 [manual action required]
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    
    The way front is served has changed since 0.18. The Apache configuration can't serve 0.18 properly, leading to blank screens.
    
    If you are on an Apache setup, you will have to replace the `<Location "/api">` block with the following::
    
       <Location "/">
          # similar to nginx 'client_max_body_size 100M;'
          LimitRequestBody 104857600
    
          ProxyPass ${funkwhale-api}/
          ProxyPassReverse ${funkwhale-api}/
       </Location>
    
    And add some more `ProxyPass` directives so that the `Alias` part of your configuration file looks this way::
    
       ProxyPass "/front" "!"
       Alias /front /srv/funkwhale/front/dist
    
       ProxyPass "/media" "!"
       Alias /media /srv/funkwhale/data/media
    
       ProxyPass "/staticfiles" "!"
       Alias /staticfiles /srv/funkwhale/data/static
    
    In case you are using custom css and theming, you also need to match this block::
    
       ProxyPass "/settings.json" "!"
       Alias /settings.json /srv/funkwhale/custom/settings.json
    
       ProxyPass "/custom" "!"
       Alias /custom /srv/funkwhale/custom
    
    Enhancements:
    
    - Added name attributes on all inputs to improve UX, especially with password managers (#686)
    - Disable makemigrations in production and misleading message when running migrate (#685)
    - Display progress during file upload
    - Hide pagination when there is only one page of results (#681)
    - Include shared/public playlists in Subsonic API responses (#684)

    0.18 "Naomi" (2019-01-22)
    -------------------------
    
    This release is dedicated to Naomi, an early contributor and beta tester of Funkwhale.
    Her positivity, love and support have been incredibly helpful and helped shape the project
    as you can enjoy it today. Thank you so much Naomi <3
    
    Upgrade instructions are available at
    https://docs.funkwhale.audio/index.html, ensure you also execute the intructions
    marked with ``[manual action required]`` and ``[manual action suggested]``.
    
    See ``Full changelog`` below for an exhaustive list of changes!
    
    Audio transcoding is back!
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    After removal of our first, buggy transcoding implementation, we're proud to announce
    that this feature is back. It is enabled by default, and can be configured/disabled
    in your instance settings!
    
    This feature works in the browser, with federated/non-federated tracks and using Subsonic clients.
    Transcoded tracks are generated on the fly, and cached for a configurable amount of time,
    to reduce the load on the server.
    
    Licensing and copyright information
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Funkwhale is now able to parse copyright and license data from file and store
    this information. Apart from displaying it on each track detail page,
    no additional behaviour is currently implemented to use this new data, but this
    will change in future releases.
    
    License and copyright data is also broadcasted over federation.
    
    License matching is done on the content of the ``License`` tag in the files,
    with a fallback on the ``Copyright`` tag.
    
    Funkwhale will successfully extract licensing data for the following licenses:

    Instance-level moderation tools
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    This release includes a first set of moderation tools that will give more control
    to admins about the way their instance federate with other instance and accounts on the network.
    Using these tools, it's now possible to:
    
    - Browse known accounts and domains, and associated data (storage size, software version, etc.)
    - Purge data belonging to given accounts and domains
    - Block or partially restrict interactions with any account or domain
    
    All those features are usable using a brand new "moderation" permission, meaning
    you can appoints one or nultiple moderators to help with this task.
    
    I'd like to thank all Mastodon contributors, because some of the these tools are heavily
    inspired from what's being done in Mastodon. Thank you so much!
    
    Iframe widget to embed public tracks and albums [manual action required]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Funkwhale now support embedding a lightweight audio player on external websites
    for album and tracks that are available in public libraries. Important pages,
    such as artist, album and track pages also include OpenGraph tags that will
    enable previews on compatible apps (like sharing a Funkwhale track link on Mastodon
    or Twitter).
    
    To achieve that, we had to tweak the way Funkwhale front-end is served. You'll have
    to modify your nginx configuration when upgrading to keep your instance working.
    
    **On docker setups**, edit your ``/srv/funkwhale/nginx/funkwhale.template`` and replace
    the ``location /api/`` and `location /` blocks by the following snippets::
    
        location / {
            include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
            # this is needed if you have file import via upload enabled
            client_max_body_size ${NGINX_MAX_BODY_SIZE};
            proxy_pass   http://funkwhale-api/;
        }
    
        location /front/ {
            alias /frontend/;
        }
    
    The change of configuration will be picked when restarting your nginx container.
    
    **On non-docker setups**, edit your ``/etc/nginx/sites-available/funkwhale.conf`` file,
    and replace the ``location /api/`` and `location /` blocks by the following snippets::
    
        location / {
            include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
            # this is needed if you have file import via upload enabled
            client_max_body_size ${NGINX_MAX_BODY_SIZE};
            proxy_pass   http://funkwhale-api/;
        }
    
        location /front/ {
            alias ${FUNKWHALE_FRONTEND_PATH}/;
        }
    
    Replace ``${FUNKWHALE_FRONTEND_PATH}`` by the corresponding variable from your .env file,
    which should be ``/srv/funkwhale/front/dist`` by default, then reload your nginx process with
    ``sudo systemctl reload nginx``.
    
    Alternative docker deployment method
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Thanks to the awesome done by @thetarkus at https://github.com/thetarkus/docker-funkwhale,
    we're now able to provide an alternative and easier Docker deployment method!
    
    In contrast with our current, multi-container offer, this method integrates
    all Funkwhale processes and services (database, redis, etc.) into a single, easier to deploy container.
    
    Both method will coexist in parallel, as each one has pros and cons. You can learn more
    about this exciting new deployment option by visiting https://docs.funkwhale.audio/installation/docker.html!
    
    Automatically load .env file
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    On non-docker deployments, earlier versions required you to source
    the config/.env file before launching any Funkwhale command, with ``export $(cat config/.env | grep -v ^# | xargs)``
    This led to more complex and error prode deployment / setup.
    
    This is not the case anymore, and Funkwhale will automatically load this file if it's available.
    
    Delete pre 0.17 federated tracks [manual action suggested]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    If you were using Funkwhale before the 0.17 release and federated with other instances,
    it's possible that you still have some unplayable federated files in the database.
    
    To purge the database of those entries, you can run the following command:
    
    On docker setups::
    
        docker-compose run --rm api python manage.py script delete_pre_017_federated_uploads --no-input
    
    On non-docker setups::
    
        python manage.py script delete_pre_017_federated_uploads --no-input
    
    Enable gzip compression [manual action suggested]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Gzip compression will be enabled on new instances by default
    and will reduce the amount of bandwidth consumed by your instance.
    
    If you with to benefit from gzip compression on your instance,
    edit your reverse proxy virtualhost file (located at ``/etc/nginx/sites-available/funkwhale.conf``) and add the following snippet
    in the server block, then reload your nginx server::
    
        server {
            # ... exiting configuration
    
            # compression settings
            gzip on;
            gzip_comp_level    5;
            gzip_min_length    256;
            gzip_proxied       any;
            gzip_vary          on;

    Using a LDAP directory to authenticate to your Funkwhale instance
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Funkwhale now support LDAP as an authentication source: you can configure
    your instance to delegate login to a LDAP directory, which is especially
    useful when you have an existing directory and don't want to manage users
    manually.
    
    You can use this authentication backend side by side with the classic one.
    
    Have a look at https://docs.funkwhale.audio/installation/ldap.html
    for detailed instructions on how to set this up.
    
    Simplified nginx setup [Docker: Manual action required]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    We've received a lot of user feedback regarding our installation process,
    and it seems the proxy part is the one which is the most confusing and difficult.
    Unfortunately, this is also the one where errors and mistakes can completely break
    the application.
    
    To make things easier for everyone, we now offer a simplified deployment
    process for the reverse proxy part. This will make upgrade of the proxy configuration
    significantly easier on docker deployments.
    
    On non-docker instances, you have nothing to do.
    
    If you have a dockerized instance, here is the upgrade path.
    
    First, tweak your .env file::
    
        # remove the FUNKWHALE_URL variable
        # and add the next variables
        FUNKWHALE_HOSTNAME=yourdomain.funkwhale
        FUNKWHALE_PROTOCOL=https
    
        # add the following variable, matching the path your app is deployed
        # leaving the default should work fine if you deployed using the same
        # paths as the documentation
        FUNKWHALE_FRONTEND_PATH=/srv/funkwhale/front/dist
    
    Then, add the following block at the end of your docker-compose.yml file::
    
        # existing services
        api:
            ...
        celeryworker:
            ...
    
        # new service
        nginx:
          image: nginx
          env_file:
            - .env
          environment:
            # Override those variables in your .env file if needed
            - "NGINX_MAX_BODY_SIZE=${NGINX_MAX_BODY_SIZE-30M}"
          volumes:
            - "./nginx/funkwhale.template:/etc/nginx/conf.d/funkwhale.template:ro"
            - "./nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf:/etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf:ro"
            - "${MUSIC_DIRECTORY_SERVE_PATH-/srv/funkwhale/data/music}:${MUSIC_DIRECTORY_SERVE_PATH-/srv/funkwhale/data/music}:ro"
            - "${MEDIA_ROOT}:${MEDIA_ROOT}:ro"
            - "${STATIC_ROOT}:${STATIC_ROOT}:ro"
            - "${FUNKWHALE_FRONTEND_PATH}:/frontend:ro"
          ports:
            # override those variables in your .env file if needed
            - "${FUNKWHALE_API_IP}:${FUNKWHALE_API_PORT}:80"
          command: >
              sh -c "envsubst \"`env | awk -F = '{printf \" $$%s\", $$1}'`\"
              < /etc/nginx/conf.d/funkwhale.template
              > /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
              && cat /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
              && nginx -g 'daemon off;'"
          links:
            - api
    
    By doing that, you'll enable a dockerized nginx that will automatically be
    configured to serve your Funkwhale instance.
    
    Download the required configuration files for the nginx container:
    
    .. parsed-literal::
    
        cd /srv/funkwhale
        mkdir nginx
        curl -L -o nginx/funkwhale.template "https://code.eliotberriot.com/funkwhale/funkwhale/raw/|version|/deploy/docker.nginx.template"
        curl -L -o nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf "https://code.eliotberriot.com/funkwhale/funkwhale/raw/|version|/deploy/funkwhale_proxy.conf"
    
    Update the funkwhale.conf configuration of your server's reverse-proxy::
    
        # the file should match something like that, upgrade all variables
        # between ${} to match the ones in your .env file,
        # and your SSL configuration if you're not using let's encrypt
        # The important thing is that you only have a single location block
        # that proxies everything to your dockerized nginx.
    
        sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/funkwhale.conf
        upstream fw {
            # depending on your setup, you may want to update this
            server ${FUNKWHALE_API_IP}:${FUNKWHALE_API_PORT};
        }
        map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
            default upgrade;
            ''      close;
        }
    
        server {
            listen 80;
            listen [::]:80;
            server_name ${FUNKWHALE_HOSTNAME};
            location / { return 301 https://$host$request_uri; }
        }
        server {
            listen      443 ssl;
            listen [::]:443 ssl;
            server_name ${FUNKWHALE_HOSTNAME};
    
            # TLS
            ssl_protocols TLSv1.2;
            ssl_ciphers HIGH:!MEDIUM:!LOW:!aNULL:!NULL:!SHA;
            ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
            ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
            ssl_certificate     /etc/letsencrypt/live/${FUNKWHALE_HOSTNAME}/fullchain.pem;
            ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/${FUNKWHALE_HOSTNAME}/privkey.pem;
    
            # HSTS
            add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000";
    
            location / {
                include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
                proxy_pass   http://fw/;
            }
        }
    
    Check that your configuration is valid then reload:
    
        sudo nginx -t
        sudo systemctl reload nginx

    Custom themes for Funkwhale
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    If you ever wanted to give a custom look and feel to your instance, this is now possible.
    
    Check https://docs.funkwhale.audio/configuration.html#theming if you want to know more!
    
    Fix Apache2 configuration file for media block [Manual action required]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    The permission scope on the current Apache2 configuration file is too narrow, preventing thumbnails from being served.
    
    On Apache2 setups, you have to replace the following line::
    
        <Directory /srv/funkwhale/data/media/albums>
    
    with::
    
        <Directory /srv/funkwhale/data/media>
    
    You can now restart your server::
    
        sudo systemctl restart apache2

    Library home and playlist page overhaul
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    The library home page have been completely redesigned to include:
    
    - other users activity (listenings, playlists and favorites)
    - recently imported albums
    
    We think this new version showcases more music in a more useful way, let us know
    what you think about it!
    
    The playlist page have been updated as well.
    
    Internationalized interface
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    After months of work, we're proud to announce our interface is now ready
    for internationalization.
    
    Translators have already started the work of translating Funkwhale in 8 different languages,
    and we're ready to add more as needed.
    
    You can easily get involved at https://translate.funkwhale.audio/engage/funkwhale/
    
    Better handling of tracks with a different artist than the album artist
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Some tracks involve a different artist than the album artist (e.g. a featuring)
    and Funkwhale has been known to do weird things when importing such tracks, resulting
    in albums that contained a single track, for instance.
    
    The situation should be improved with this release, as Funkwhale is now able to
    store separately the track and album artist, and display it properly in the interface.
    
    Users now have an ActivityPub Actor [Manual action required]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    In the process of implementing federation for user activity such as listening
    history, we are now making user profiles (a.k.a. ActivityPub actors) available through federation.
    
    This does not means the federation is working, but this is a needed step to implement it.
    
    Those profiles will be created automatically for new users, but you have to run a command
    to create them for existing users.
    
    On docker setups::
    
        docker-compose run --rm api python manage.py script create_actors --no-input
    
    On non-docker setups::
    
        python manage.py script create_actors --no-input
    
    This should only take a few seconds to run. It is safe to interrupt the process or rerun it multiple times.
    
    Image thumbnails [Manual action required]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    To reduce bandwidth usage on slow or limited connexions and improve performance
    in general, we now use smaller images in the front-end. For instance, if you have
    an album cover with a 1000x1000 pixel size, we will create smaller
    versions of this image (50x50, 200x200, 400x400) and reference those resized version
    when we don't actually need the original image.
    
    Thumbnail will be created automatically for new objects, however, you have
    to launch a manual command to deal with existing ones.
    
    On docker setups::
    
        docker-compose run --rm api python manage.py script create_image_variations --no-input
    
    On non-docker setups::
    
        python manage.py script create_image_variations --no-input
    
    This should be quite fast but may take up to a few minutes depending on the number
    of albums you have in database. It is safe to interrupt the process or rerun it multiple times.
    
    Improved search on federated tracks list
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Having a powerful but easy-to-use search is important but difficult to achieve, especially
    if you do not want to have a real complex search interface.
    
    Github does a pretty good job with that, using a structured but simple query system
    (See https://help.github.com/articles/searching-issues-and-pull-requests/#search-only-issues-or-pull-requests).
    
    This release implements a limited but working subset of this query system. You can use it only on the federated
    tracks list (/manage/federation/tracks) at the moment, but depending on feedback it will be rolled-out on other pages as well.
    
    This is the type of query you can run:
    
    - ``hello world``: search for "hello" and "world" in all the available fields
    - ``hello in:artist`` search for results where artist name is "hello"
    - ``spring in:artist,album`` search for results where artist name or album title contain "spring"
    - ``artist:hello`` search for results where artist name equals "hello"
    - ``artist:"System of a Down" domain:instance.funkwhale`` search for results where artist name equals "System of a Down" and inside "instance.funkwhale" library
    
    Ensure MEDIA_ROOT, STATIC_ROOT and MUSIC_DIRECTORY_* are set explicitely [Manual action required]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    In our default .env file, MEDIA_ROOT and STATIC_ROOT were commented by default, causing
    some deployment issues on non-docker setups when people forgot to uncomment them.
    
    From now on, those variables are uncommented, and will also be used on docker setups
    to mount the volumes automatically in the docker-compose.yml file. This has been a source
    of headache as well in some deployments, where you had to update both the .env file and
    the compose file.
    
    This also applies to in-place paths (MUSIC_DIRECTORY_PATH and MUSIC_DIRECTORY_SERVE_PATH),
    whose values are now used directly to set up the proper Docker volumes.
    
    This will only affect new deployments though. If you want to benefit from this on an
    existing instance, do a backup of your ``.env`` and ``docker-compose.yml`` files and apply the following changes:
    
    - Ensure ``MEDIA_ROOT`` is uncommented in your .env file and match the absolute path where media files are stored
      on your host (``/srv/funkwhale/data/media`` by default)
    - Ensure ``STATIC_ROOT`` is uncommented in your .env file and match the absolute path where static files are stored
      on your host (``/srv/funkwhale/data/static`` by default)
    - If you use in-place import:
        - Ensure MUSIC_DIRECTORY_PATH is uncommented and set to ``/music``
        - Ensure MUSIC_DIRECTORY_SERVE_PATH is uncommented and set to the absolute path on your host were your music files
          are stored (``/srv/funkwhale/data/music`` by default)
    - Edit your docker-compose.yml file to reflect the changes:
        - Search for volumes (there should be two occurences) that contains ``/app/funkwhale_api/media`` on the right side, and
          replace the whole line with ``- "${MEDIA_ROOT}:${MEDIA_ROOT}"``
        - Search for a volume that contains ``/app/staticfiles`` on the right side, and
          replace the whole line with ``- "${STATIC_ROOT}:${STATIC_ROOT}"``
        - If you use in-place import, search for volumes (there should be two occurences) that contains ``/music:ro`` on the right side, and
          replace the whole line with ``- "${MUSIC_DIRECTORY_SERVE_PATH}:${MUSIC_DIRECTORY_PATH}:ro"``
    
    In the end, the ``volumes`` directives of your containers should look like that::
    
        ...
        celeryworker
          volumes:
            - "${MUSIC_DIRECTORY_SERVE_PATH}:${MUSIC_DIRECTORY_PATH}:ro"
            - "${MEDIA_ROOT}:${MEDIA_ROOT}"
        ...
        api:
          volumes:
            - "${MUSIC_DIRECTORY_SERVE_PATH}:${MUSIC_DIRECTORY_PATH}:ro"
            - "${MEDIA_ROOT}:${MEDIA_ROOT}"
            - "${STATIC_ROOT}:${STATIC_ROOT}"
            - ./front/dist:/frontend
        ...
    
    Removed Cacheops dependency
    ---------------------------
    
    We removed one of our dependency named django-cacheops. It was unly used in a few places,
    and not playing nice with other dependencies.
    
    You can safely remove this dependency in your environment with ``pip uninstall django-cacheops`` if you're
    not using docker.
    
    You can also safely remove any ``CACHEOPS_ENABLED`` setting from your environment file.

    Invite system
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    On closed instances, it has always been a little bit painful to create accounts
    by hand for new users. This release solve that by adding invitations.
    
    You can generate invitation codes via the "users" admin interface (you'll find a
    link in the sidebar). Those codes are valid for 14 days, and can be used once
    to create a new account on the instance, even if registrations are closed.
    
    By default, we generate a random code for invitations, but you can also use custom codes
    if you need to print them or make them fancier ;)
    
    Invitations generation and management requires the "settings" permission.

    Permission issues on radios
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Because of an error in the way we checked user permissions on radios,
    public radios could be deleted by any logged-in user, even if they were not
    the owner of the radio.
    
    We recommend instances owners to upgrade as fast as possible to avoid any abuse
    and data loss.
    
    Funkwhale is now licenced under AGPL-3
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Following the recent switch made by PixelFed
    (https://github.com/dansup/pixelfed/issues/143), we decided along with
    the community to relicence Funkwhale under the AGPL-3 licence. We did this
    switch for various reasons:
    
    - This is better aligned with other fediverse software
    - It prohibits anyone to distribute closed-source and proprietary forks of Funkwhale
    
    As end users and instance owners, this does not change anything. You can
    continue to use Funkwhale exactly as you did before :)
    
    Apache support for websocket
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Up until now, our Apache2 configuration was not working with websockets. This is now
    solved by adding this at the beginning of your Apache2 configuration file::
    
        Define funkwhale-api-ws ws://localhost:5000
    
    And this, before the "/api" block::
    
        # Activating WebSockets
        ProxyPass "/api/v1/instance/activity" ${funkwhale-api-ws}/api/v1/instance/activity
    
    Websockets may not be supported in older versions of Apache2. Be sure to upgrade to the latest version available.
    
    Serving album covers in https (Apache2 proxy)
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Two issues are addressed here. The first one was about Django replying with
    mixed content (http) when queried for covers. Setting up the `X-Forwarded-Proto`
    allows Django to know that the client is using https, and that the reply must
    be https as well.
    
    Second issue was a problem of permission causing Apache a denied access to
    album cover folder. It is solved by adding another block for this path in
    the Apache configuration file for funkwhale.
    
    Here is how to modify your `funkwhale.conf` apache2 configuration::
    
      <VirtualHost *:443>
    
        ...
        #Add this new line
        RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
        ...
        # Add this new block below the other <Directory/> blocks
        # replace /srv/funkwhale/data/media with the path to your media directory
        # if you're not using the standard layout.
        <Directory /srv/funkwhale/data/media/albums>
          Options FollowSymLinks
          AllowOverride None
          Require all granted
        </Directory>
        ...
      </VirtualHost>
    
    About the makemigrations warning
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    You may sometimes get the following warning while applying migrations::
    
        "Your models have changes that are not yet reflected in a migration, and so won't be applied."
    
    This is a warning, not an error, and it can be safely ignored.
    Never run the ``makemigrations`` command yourself.

    Removed alpha-state transcoding (#271)
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    A few months ago, a basic transcoding feature was implemented. Due to the way
    this feature was designed, it was slow, CPU intensive on the server side,
    and very tightly coupled to the reverse-proxy configuration, preventing
    it to work Apache2, for instance. It was also not compatible with Subsonic clients.
    
    Based on that, we're currently removing support for transcoding
    **in its current state**. The work on a better designed transcoding feature
    can be tracked in https://code.eliotberriot.com/funkwhale/funkwhale/issues/272.
    
    You don't have to do anything on your side, but you may want to remove
    the now obsolete configuration from your reverse proxy file (nginx only)::
    
        # Remove those blocks:
    
        # transcode cache
        proxy_cache_path /tmp/funkwhale-transcode levels=1:2 keys_zone=transcode:10m max_size=1g inactive=7d;
    
        # Transcoding logic and caching
        location = /transcode-auth {
            include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
            # needed so we can authenticate transcode requests, but still
            # cache the result
            internal;
            set $query '';
            # ensure we actually pass the jwt to the underlytin auth url
            if ($request_uri ~* "[^\?]+\?(.*)$") {
                set $query $1;
            }
            proxy_pass http://funkwhale-api/api/v1/trackfiles/viewable/?$query;
            proxy_pass_request_body off;
            proxy_set_header        Content-Length "";
        }
    
        location /api/v1/trackfiles/transcode/ {
            include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
            # this block deals with authenticating and caching transcoding
            # requests. Caching is heavily recommended as transcoding
            # is a CPU intensive process.
            auth_request /transcode-auth;
            if ($args ~ (.*)jwt=[^&]*(.*)) {
                set $cleaned_args $1$2;
            }
            proxy_cache_key "$scheme$request_method$host$uri$is_args$cleaned_args";

    Files management interface
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    This is the first bit of an ongoing work that will span several releases, to
    bring more powerful library management features to Funkwhale. This iteration
    includes a basic file management interface where users with the "library"
    permission can list and search available files, order them using
    various criterias (size, bitrate, duration...) and delete them.
    
    New "upload" permission
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    This new permission is helpful if you want to give upload/import rights
    to some users, but don't want them to be able to manage the library as a whole:
    although there are no controls yet for managing library in the fron-end,
    subsequent release will introduce management interfaces for artists, files,
    etc.
    
    Because of that, users with the "library" permission will have much more power,
    and will also be able to remove content from the platform. On the other hand,
    users with the "upload" permission will only have the ability to add new
    content.
    
    Also, this release also includes a new feature called "default permissions":
    those are permissions that are granted to every users on the platform.
    On public/open instances, this will play well with the "upload" permission
    since everyone will be able to contribute to the instance library without
    an admin giving the permission to every single user.
    
    Smarter album cover importer
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    In earlier versions, covers where only imported when launching a YouTube import.
    Starting from this release, covers will be imported regardless of the import mode
    (file upload, youtube-dl, CLI, in-place...). Funkwhale will look for covers
    in the following order:
    
    1. In the imported file itself (FLAC/MP3 only)
    2. In a cover.jpg or cover.png in the file directory
    3. By fetching cover art from Musibrainz, assuming the file is tagged correctly
    
    This will only work for newly imported tracks and albums though. In the future,
    we may offer an option to refetch album covers from the interface, but in the
    meantime, you can use the following snippet:
    
    .. code-block:: python
    
        # Store this in /tmp/update_albums.py
        from funkwhale_api.music.models import Album, TrackFile
        from funkwhale_api.music.tasks import update_album_cover
    
        albums_without_covers = Album.objects.filter(cover='')
        total = albums_without_covers.count()
        print('Found {} albums without cover'.format(total))
        for i, album in enumerate(albums_without_covers.iterator()):
            print('[{}/{}] Fetching cover for {}...'.format(i+1, total, album.title))
            f = TrackFile.objects.filter(track__album=album).filter(source__startswith='file://').first()
            update_album_cover(album, track_file=f)
    
    Then launch it::
    
        # docker setups
        cat /tmp/update_albums.py | docker-compose run --rm api python manage.py shell -i python
    
        # non-docker setups
        source /srv/funkwhale/load_env
        source /srv/funkwhale/virtualenv/bin/activate
        cat /tmp/update_albums.py | python manage.py shell -i python
    
        # cleanup
        rm /tmp/update_albums.py
    
    .. note::
    
        Depending on your number of albums, the previous snippet may take some time
        to execute. You can interrupt it at any time using ctrl-c and relaunch it later,
        as it's idempotent.
    
    Music API changes
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    This release includes an API break. Even though the API is advertised
    as unstable, and not documented, here is a brief explanation of the change in
    case you are using the API in a client or in a script. Summary of the changes:
    
    - ``/api/v1/artists`` does not includes a list of tracks anymore. It was to heavy
      to return all of this data all the time. You can get all tracks for an
      artist using ``/api/v1/tracks?artist=artist_id``
    - Additionally, ``/api/v1/tracks`` now support an ``album`` filter to filter
      tracks matching an album
    - ``/api/v1/artists/search``, ``/api/v1/albums/search`` and ``/api/v1/tracks/search``
      endpoints are removed. Use ``/api/v1/{artists|albums|tracks}/?q=yourquery``
      instead. It's also more powerful, since you can combine search with other
      filters and ordering options.
    - ``/api/v1/requests/import-requests/search`` endpoint is removed as well.
      Use ``/api/v1/requests/import-requests/?q=yourquery``
      instead. It's also more powerful, since you can combine search with other
      filters and ordering options.
    
    Of course, the front-end was updated to work with the new API, so this should
    not impact end-users in any way, apart from slight performance gains.
    
    .. note::
    
        The API is still not stable and may evolve again in the future. API freeze
        will come at a later point.
    
    Flac files imports via upload
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    You have nothing to do to benefit from this, however, since Flac files
    tend to be a lot bigger than other files, you may want to increase the
    ``client_max_body_size`` value in your Nginx configuration if you plan
    to upload flac files.
    
    Missing subsonic configuration bloc in vhost files
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Because of a missing bloc in the sample Nginx and Apache configurations,
    instances that were deployed after the 0.13 release are likely to be unable
    to answer to Subsonic clients (the missing bits were properly documented
    in the changelog).
    
    Ensure you have the following snippets in your Nginx or Apache configuration
    if you plan to use the Subsonic API.
    
    Nginx::
    
        location /rest/ {
            include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
            proxy_pass   http://funkwhale-api/api/subsonic/rest/;
        }
    
    Apache2::
    
        <Location "/rest">
            ProxyPass ${funkwhale-api}/api/subsonic/rest
            ProxyPassReverse ${funkwhale-api}/api/subsonic/rest
         </Location>
