    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.

    Documentation:
    
    - Added warning about _protected/music location in nginx configuration (#247)
    
    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";
            proxy_cache transcode;
            proxy_cache_valid 200 7d;

            proxy_hide_header "Set-Cookie";
            add_header X-Cache-Status $upstream_cache_status;
            proxy_pass   http://funkwhale-api;
        }

    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>

    Instance settings interface
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Prior to this release, the only way to update instance settings (such as
    instance description, signup policy, federation configuration, etc.) was using
    the admin interface provided by Django (the back-end framework which power the API).
    
    This interface worked, but was not really-user friendly and intuitive.
    
    Starting from this release, we now offer a dedicated interface directly
    in the front-end. You can view and edit all your instance settings from here,
    assuming you have the required permissions.
    
    This interface is available at ``/manage/settings` and via link in the sidebar.
    
    Storage of bitrate, size and length in database
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Starting with this release, when importing files, Funkwhale will store
    additional information about audio files:
    
    - Bitrate
    - Size (in bytes)
    - Duration
    
    This change is not retroactive, meaning already imported files will lack those
    informations. The interface and API should work as before in such case, however,
    we offer a command to deal with legacy files and populate the missing values.
    
    On docker setups:
    
    .. code-block:: shell
    
        docker-compose run --rm api python manage.py fix_track_files
    
    On non-docker setups:
    
    .. code-block:: shell
    
        # from your activated virtualenv
        python manage.py fix_track_files
    
    .. note::
    
        The execution time for this command is proportional to the number of
        audio files stored on your instance. This is because we need to read the
        files from disk to fetch the data. You can run it in the background
        while Funkwhale is up.
    
        It's also safe to interrupt this command and rerun it at a later point, or run
        it multiple times.
    
        Use the --dry-run flag to check how many files would be impacted.
    
    Simpler permission system
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Starting from this release, the permission system is much simpler. Up until now,
    we were using Django's built-in permission system, which was working, but also
    quite complex to deal with.
    
    The new implementation relies on simpler logic, which will make integration
    on the front-end in upcoming releases faster and easier.
    
    If you have manually given permissions to users on your instance,
    you can migrate those to the new system.
    
    On docker setups:
    
    .. code-block:: shell
    
        docker-compose run --rm api python manage.py script django_permissions_to_user_permissions --no-input
    
    On non-docker setups:
    
    .. code-block:: shell
    
        # in your virtualenv
        python api/manage.py script django_permissions_to_user_permissions --no-input
    
    There is still no dedicated interface to manage user permissions, but you
    can use the admin interface at ``/api/admin/users/user/`` for that purpose in
    the meantime.

    Subsonic API
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    This release implements some core parts of the Subsonic API, which is widely
    deployed in various projects and supported by numerous clients.
    
    By offering this API in Funkwhale, we make it possible to access the instance
    library and listen to the music without from existing Subsonic clients, and
    without developping our own alternative clients for each and every platform.
    
    Most advanced Subsonic clients support offline caching of music files,
    playlist management and search, which makes them well-suited for nomadic use.
    
    Please head over :doc:`users/apps` for more informations about supported clients
    and user instructions.
    
    At the instance-level, the Subsonic API is enabled by default, but require
    and additional endpoint to be added in you reverse-proxy configuration.
    
    On nginx, add the following block::
    
        location /rest/ {
            include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
            proxy_pass   http://funkwhale-api/api/subsonic/rest/;
        }
    
    On Apache, add the following block::
    
        <Location "/rest">
            ProxyPass ${funkwhale-api}/api/subsonic/rest
            ProxyPassReverse ${funkwhale-api}/api/subsonic/rest
        </Location>
    
    The Subsonic can be disabled at the instance level from the django admin.
    
    .. note::
    
        Because of Subsonic's API design which assumes cleartext storing of
        user passwords, we chose to have a dedicated, separate password
        for that purpose. Users can generate this password from their
        settings page in the web client.
    
    Nodeinfo standard for instance information and stats
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    .. warning::
    
        The ``/api/v1/instance/stats/`` endpoint which was used to display
        instance data in the about page is removed in favor of the new
        ``/api/v1/instance/nodeinfo/2.0/`` endpoint.
    
    In earlier version, we where using a custom endpoint and format for
    our instance information and statistics. While this was working,
    this was not compatible with anything else on the fediverse.
    
    We now offer a nodeinfo 2.0 endpoint which provides, in a single place,
    all the instance information such as library and user activity statistics,
    public instance settings (description, registration and federation status, etc.).
    
    We offer two settings to manage nodeinfo in your Funkwhale instance:
    
    1. One setting to completely disable nodeinfo, but this is not recommended
       as the exposed data may be needed to make some parts of the front-end
       work (especially the about page).
    2. One setting to disable only usage and library statistics in the nodeinfo
       endpoint. This is useful if you want the nodeinfo endpoint to work,
       but don't feel comfortable sharing aggregated statistics about your library
       and user activity.
    
    To make your instance fully compatible with the nodeinfo protocol, you need to
    to edit your nginx configuration file:
    
    .. code-block::
    
        # before
        ...
        location /.well-known/webfinger {
            include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
            proxy_pass   http://funkwhale-api/.well-known/webfinger;
        }
        ...
    
        # after
        ...
        location /.well-known/ {
            include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
            proxy_pass   http://funkwhale-api/.well-known/;
        }
        ...
    
    You can do the same if you use apache:
    
    .. code-block::
    
        # before
        ...
        <Location "/.well-known/webfinger">
          ProxyPass ${funkwhale-api}/.well-known/webfinger
          ProxyPassReverse ${funkwhale-api}/.well-known/webfinger
        </Location>
        ...
    
        # after
        ...
        <Location "/.well-known/">
          ProxyPass ${funkwhale-api}/.well-known/
          ProxyPassReverse ${funkwhale-api}/.well-known/
        </Location>
        ...
    
    This will ensure all well-known endpoints are proxied to funkwhale, and
    not just webfinger one.

    0.11 (unreleased)
    -----------------
    
    Upgrade instructions are available at https://docs.funkwhale.audio/upgrading.html
    
    Special thanks for this release go to @renon:matrix.org (@Hazmo on Gitlab)
    for bringing Apache2 support to Funkwhale and contributing on other issues.
    Thank you!
    
    Features:
    
    - Funkwhale now works behind an Apache2 reverse proxy (!165)
      check out the brand new documentation at https://docs.funkwhale.audio/installation/index.html#apache2
      if you want to try it!
    - Users can now request password reset by email, assuming a SMTP server was
      correctly configured (#187)
    
    Enhancements:
    
    - Added a fix_track_files command to run checks and fixes against library
      (#183)
    - Avoid fetching Actor object on every request authentication
    - Can now relaunch errored jobs and batches (#176)
    - List pending requests by default, added a status filter for requests (#109)
    - More structured menus in sidebar, added labels with notifications
    - Sample virtual-host file for Apache2 reverse-proxy (!165)
    - Store high-level settings (such as federation or auth-related ones) in
      database (#186)
    
    Bugfixes:
    
    - Ensure in place imported files get a proper mimetype (#183)
    - Federation cache suppression is now simpler and also deletes orphaned files
      (#189)
    - Fixed small UI glitches/bugs in federation tabs (#184)
    - X-sendfile not working with in place import (#182)
    
    Documentation:
    
    - Added a documentation area for third-party projects (#180)
    - Added documentation for optimizing Funkwhale and reduce its memory footprint.
    - Document that the database should use an utf-8 encoding (#185)
    - Foundations for API documentation with Swagger (#178)
    
    Database storage for high-level settings
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Due to the work done in #186, the following environment variables have been
    deprecated:
    
    - FEDERATION_ENABLED
    - FEDERATION_COLLECTION_PAGE_SIZE
    - FEDERATION_MUSIC_NEEDS_APPROVAL
    - FEDERATION_ACTOR_FETCH_DELAY
    - PLAYLISTS_MAX_TRACKS
    - API_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED
    
    Configuration for this settings has been moved to database, as it will provide
    a better user-experience, by allowing you to edit these values on-the-fly,
    without restarting Funkwhale processes.
    
    You can leave those environment variables in your .env file for now, as the
    values will be used to populate the database entries. We'll make a proper
    announcement when the variables won't be used anymore.
    
    Please browse https://docs.funkwhale.audio/configuration.html#instance-settings
    for more information about instance configuration using the web interface.
    
    System emails
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Starting from this release, Funkwhale will send two types
    of emails:
    
    - Email confirmation emails, to ensure a user's email is valid
    - Password reset emails, enabling user to reset their password without an admin's intervention
    
    Email sending is disabled by default, as it requires additional configuration.
    In this mode, emails are simply outputed on stdout.
    
    If you want to actually send those emails to your users, you should edit your
    .env file and tweak the EMAIL_CONFIG variable. See :ref:`setting-EMAIL_CONFIG`
    for more details.
    
    .. note::
    
      As a result of these changes, the DJANGO_EMAIL_BACKEND variable,
      which was not documented, has no effect anymore. You can safely remove it from
      your .env file if it is set.
    
    Proxy headers for non-docker deployments
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    For non-docker deployments, add ``--proxy-headers`` at the end of the ``daphne``
    command in :file:`/etc/systemd/system/funkwhale-server.service`.
    
    This will ensure the application receive the correct IP address from the client
    and not the proxy's one.

    In-place import
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    This release includes in-place imports for the CLI import. This means you can
    load gigabytes of music into funkwhale without worrying about about Funkwhale
    copying those music files in its internal storage and eating your disk space.
    
    `This new feature is documented here <https://docs.funkwhale.audio/importing-music.html#in-place-import>`_
    and require additional configuration to ensure funkwhale and your webserver can
    serve those files properly.
    
    **Non-docker users:**
    
    Assuming your music is stored in ``/srv/funkwhale/data/music``, add the following
    block to your nginx configuration::
    
        location /_protected/music {
            internal;
            alias   /srv/funkwhale/data/music;
        }
    
    And the following to your .env file::
    
        MUSIC_DIRECTORY_PATH=/srv/funkwhale/data/music
    
    **Docker users:**
    
    Assuming your music is stored in ``/srv/funkwhale/data/music``, add the following
    block to your nginx configuration::
    
        location /_protected/music {
            internal;
            alias   /srv/funkwhale/data/music;
        }
    
    Assuming you have the following volume directive in your ``docker-compose.yml``
    (it's the default): ``/srv/funkwhale/data/music:/music:ro``, then add
    the following to your .env file::
    
        # this is the path in the container
        MUSIC_DIRECTORY_PATH=/music
        # this is the path on the host

    This is for real this time, and includes:
    
    - Following other Funkwhale libraries
    - Importing tracks from remote libraries (tracks are hotlinked, and only cached for a short amount of time)
    - Searching accross federated catalogs
    
    Note that by default, federation is opt-in, on a per-instance basis:
    instances will request access to your catalog, and you can accept or refuse
    those requests. You can also revoke the access at any time.
    
    Documentation was updated with relevant instructions to use and benefit
    from this new feature: https://docs.funkwhale.audio/federation.html
    
    Preparing internationalization
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Funkwhale's front-end as always been english-only, and this is a barrier
    to new users. The work make Funkwhale's interface translatable was started
    in this release by Baptiste. Although nothing is translated yet,
    this release includes behind the stage changes that will make it possible in
    the near future.
    
    Many thank to Baptiste for the hard work and for figuring out a proper solution
    to this difficult problem.
    
    Upgrade path
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    In addition to the usual instructions from
    https://docs.funkwhale.audio/upgrading.html, non-docker users will have
    to setup an additional systemd unit file for recurrent tasks.
    
    This was forgotten in the deployment documentation, but recurrent tasks,
    managed by the celery beat process, will be needed more and more in subsequent
    releases. Right now, we'll be using to clear the cache for federated music files
    and keep disk usage to a minimum.
    
    In the future, they will also be needed to refetch music metadata or federated
    information periodically.
    
    Celery beat can be enabled easily::
    
        curl -L -o "/etc/systemd/system/funkwhale-beat.service" "https://code.eliotberriot.com/funkwhale/funkwhale/raw/develop/deploy/funkwhale-beat.service"
        # Also edit /etc/systemd/system/funkwhale.target
        # and ensure the Wants= line contains the following:
        # Wants=funkwhale-server.service funkwhale-worker.service funkwhale-beat.service
        nano /etc/systemd/system/funkwhale.target
        # reload configuration
        systemctl daemon-reload
    
    Docker users already have celerybeat enabled.

    Preparing for federation
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Federation of music libraries is one of the most asked feature.
    While there is still a lot of work to do, this version includes
    the foundation that will enable funkwhale servers to communicate
    between each others, and with other federated software, such as
    Mastodon.
    
    Funkwhale will use ActivityPub as it's federation protocol.
    
    In order to prepare for federation (see #136 and #137), new API endpoints
    have been added under /federation and /.well-known/webfinger.
    
    For these endpoints to work, you will need to update your nginx configuration,
    and add the following snippets::
    
        location /federation/ {
            include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
            proxy_pass   http://funkwhale-api/federation/;
        }
    
        location /.well-known/webfinger {
            include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
            proxy_pass   http://funkwhale-api/.well-known/webfinger;
        }
    
    This will ensure federation endpoints will be reachable in the future.
    You can of course skip this part if you know you will not federate your instance.
    
    A new ``FEDERATION_ENABLED`` env var have also been added to control wether
    federation is enabled or not on the application side. This settings defaults
    to True, which should have no consequencies at the moment, since actual
    federation is not implemented and the only available endpoints are for
    testing purposes.
    
    Add ``FEDERATION_ENABLED=false`` to your .env file to disable federation
    on the application side.
    
    The last step involves generating RSA private and public keys for signing
    your instance requests on the federation. This can be done via::
    
        # on docker setups
        docker-compose run --rm api python manage.py generate_keys --no-input
    
        # on non-docker setups
        source /srv/funkwhale/virtualenv/bin/activate
        source /srv/funkwhale/load_env
        python manage.py generate_keys --no-input
    
    To test and troobleshoot federation, we've added a bot account. This bot is available at @test@yourinstancedomain,
    and sending it "/ping", for example, via Mastodon, should trigger
    a response.

    Upgrades notes
    **************
    
    This version contains breaking changes in the way funkwhale is deployed,
    please read the notes carefully.
    
    Instance timeline
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    A new "Activity" page is now available from the sidebar, where you can
    browse your instance activity. At the moment, this includes other users
    favorites and listening, but more activity types will be implemented in the
    future.
    
    Internally, we implemented those events by following the Activity Stream
    specification, which will help us to be compatible with other networks
    in the long-term.
    
    A new settings page has been added to control the visibility of your activity.
    By default, your activity will be browsable by anyone on your instance,
    but you can switch to a full private mode where nothing is shared.
    
    The setting form is available in your profile.
    
    Switch from gunicorn to daphne
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    This release include an important change in the way we serve the HTTP API.
    To prepare for new realtime features and enable websocket support in Funkwhale,
    we are now using django-channels and daphne to serve HTTP and websocket traffic.
    
    This replaces gunicorn and the switch should be easy assuming you
    follow the upgrade process described bellow.
    
    If you are using docker, please remove the command instruction inside the
    api service, as the up-to-date command is now included directly in the image
    as the default entry point:
    
    .. code-block:: yaml
    
        api:
          restart: unless-stopped
          image: funkwhale/funkwhale:${FUNKWHALE_VERSION:-latest}
          command: ./compose/django/gunicorn.sh  # You can remove this line
    
    On non docker setups, you'll have to update the [Service] block of your
    funkwhale-server systemd unit file to launch the application server using daphne instead of gunicorn.
    
    The new configuration should be similar to this:
    
    .. code-block:: ini
    
        [Service]
        User=funkwhale
        # adapt this depending on the path of your funkwhale installation
        WorkingDirectory=/srv/funkwhale/api
        EnvironmentFile=/srv/funkwhale/config/.env
        ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/daphne -b ${FUNKWHALE_API_IP} -p ${FUNKWHALE_API_PORT} config.asgi:application
    
    Ensure you update funkwhale's dependencies as usual to install the required
    packages.
    
    On both docker and non-docker setup, you'll also have to update your nginx
    configuration for websocket support. Ensure you have the following blocks
    included in your virtualhost file:
    
    .. code-block:: txt
    
        map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
            default upgrade;
            ''      close;
        }
    
        server {
            ...
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
        }
    
    Remember to reload your nginx server after the edit.

    There is a brand new about page on instances (/about), and instance
    owner can now provide a name, a short and a long description for their instance via the admin (/api/admin/dynamic_preferences/globalpreferencemodel/).
    
    Transcoding:
    
    Basic transcoding is now available to/from the following formats : ogg and mp3.
    
    *This is still an alpha feature at the moment, please report any bug.*
    
    This relies internally on FFMPEG and can put some load on your server.
    It's definitely recommended you setup some caching for the transcoded files
    at your webserver level. Check the the exemple nginx file at deploy/nginx.conf
    for an implementation.
    
    On the frontend, usage of transcoding should be transparent in the player.
    
    Music Requests:
    
    This release includes a new feature, music requests, which allows users
    to request music they'd like to see imported.
    Admins can browse those requests and mark them as completed when
    an import is made.
