major bugfix:
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Added `pip3` as required PeerTube dependency to support automatic transcription. You must install it on your system.

6.1.030 Apr 2024 09:45
major feature:
IMPORTANT NOTES:
You must update nginx configuration: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/support/nginx/peertube.
Add `location /api/v1/users/ / +/imports/import-resumable ` block.
This release changes the way how PeerTube counts a video view:
Views are taken into account after 10 seconds instead of 30 seconds (can be changed in YAML config).
Views use a *Session ID generated by the web browser instead of using the request IP (former behavior can be restored in YAML config).
The goal of this change is to get r to how other video platforms like Mux, Vimeo, or Instagram work.
SECURITY:
Compact ActivityPub JSON-LD objects before using them to prevent incorrect access control @tesaguri.
Protect ActivityPub information related to private/internal/blocked videos.
### Admin config (non-exhaustive).
Breaking changes:
Rename `views.videos.ip_view_expiration` to `views.videos.view_expiration`.
YAML web admin configs:
Add `storyboards.enabled` config to disable storyboard generation.
Remove `services.twitter.whitelisted`: Twitter/X doesn't seem to need this anymore. This means that PeerTube will try to inject the video player in Twitter/X by default instead of using a classic image/description.
YAML config only:
Add `open_telemetry.metrics.playback_stats_interval` config to customize how often viewers send playback stats to server.
Add `views.videos.watching_interval. anonymous,users ` configs to change how often the web browser sends "is watching" information to the server.
Add `stats.registration_requests.enabled` and `stats.abuses.enabled` configs to hide instance registration/abuse requests public stats (average response time, total registration/abuse requests etc.).
Add `stats.total_moderators.enabled` and `stats.total_admins.enabled`configs to hide total admins/moderators public stats.
Add `object_storage.streaming_playlists.store_live_streams` config to not store live stream chunks into object storage (when enabled for streaming playlists

Add `object_storage.streaming_playlists.store_live_streams` config to not store live stream chunks into object storage (when enabled for streaming playlists).
Set `open_telemetry.metrics.http_request_duration.enabled` to `false` by default to avoid performance on the Prometheus backend due to high metric cardinality.

6.0.029 Nov 2023 07:25
major feature:
IMPORTANT NOTES:
We have many important notes in this release. We know it's a pain for sysadmin, but consider each one as a major step forward for PeerTube quality!.
Sysadmins important notes:
Remove NodeJS 16 support (see https://nodejs.org/fr/blog/announcements/nodejs16-eol):
Please upgrade to NodeJS 18 before upgrading PeerTube.
If you use NodeSource repository, you may have to migrate to their new repository: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/wiki/How-to-migrate-to-the-new-repository.
Check in `production.yaml` that you use `127.0.0.1` instead of `localhost` for `listen.hostname`, `database.hostname` and `redis.hostname` as Node 18 favours IPv6 for `localhost` resolution.
Remove WebTorrent support in player:
"WebTorrent videos" are renamed to "Web Video". The video format is the same, we just stop to use P2P for these videos.
There is no "Auto" quality anymore for Web Videos. The viewer has to explicitly choose the video resolution.
We still use P2P with the HLS player, which is the recommended transcoding format since several versions.
See https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube//5465 for more information.
Configuration key that you must update in your `production.yaml` if not automatically done by your upgrade script:
`storage.videos` must be renamed to `storage.web_videos`. The value of this configuration doesn't need to be changed: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/config/production.yaml.example#L151.
`transcoding.webtorrent` must be renamed to `transcoding.web_videos`: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/config/production.yaml.example#L522.
`object_storage.videos` must be renamed to `object_storage.web_videos`. The value of `object_storage.web_videos.bucket_name` doesn't need to be changed: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/config/production.yaml.example#L223.
`storage.storyboards` must be added: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/config/production.yaml.example#L157.

6.0.0-rc.220 Nov 2023 12:26
minor bugfix:
Since v6.0.0-rc.1 : Correctly generate `production.yaml.new` that should merge your current `production.yaml` with new keys defined by PeerTube. Don't break `scripts/upgrade.sh` path. If you upgraded to v6.0.0-rc.1 you can find the upgrade script in `dist/scripts/upgrade.sh`. notification scrolling. Add ability to customize frames to analyze in configuration. player ratio on mobile with portrait videos. Update page title and description on video change. Adapt storyboard sprite ratio. card font color theme. Optimize homepage videos query. Respect "transcode original resolution" setting when using remote runners.

minor feature:
Important: Due to a in ffmpeg, PeerTube is not compatible with ffmpeg 4.4. See #3990.
Debian Bullseye admins: Debian Bullseye removed python binary/link in favour of explicit python2/python3 binaries. But youtube-dl used by PeerTube needs it so you'll have to install python-is-python2 or python-is-python3 before upgrading PeerTube.
PeerTube now supports NodeJS 16.

/! VERY IMPORTANT /! We added a unique index on actors usernames to some federation.
Please check now if you have conflicts:
Go inside your database using sudo -u postgres psql peertube_prod and run select "preferredUsername" from actor where "serverId" is null group by "preferredUsername" having count(*) 1;
If you have some results, it seems you have duplicate channels/accounts.
For every entry, you'll have to change the preferredUsername of the entry you want (so they are unique).
The updated actors could have some federations.
