    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/svg+xml
          image/x-icon
          text/cache-manifest
          text/css
          text/plain
          text/vcard
          text/vnd.rim.location.xloc
          text/vtt
          text/x-component
          text/x-cross-domain-policy;
    
    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

    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)

    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>`_.

    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
