+0.6.1
+=====
+
+This is a short, bugfix release.
+
+**Do this to upgrade**
+
+1. Update to the latest release. If checked out from git, run:
+ ``git fetch && git checkout -q v0.6.1``
+2. Make sure to run
+ ``./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade && ./bin/gmg dbupdate``
+
+This release switches the default terms of service to be off by
+default and corrects some mistakes in the default terms of service.
+
+Turning the terms of service on is very easy, just set ``show_tos`` in
+the ``[mediagoblin]`` section of your config to ``true``.
+
+
+0.6.0
+=====
+
+**Do this to upgrade**
+
+1. Update to the latest release. If checked out from git, run:
+ ``git fetch && git checkout -q v0.6.0``
+2. Make sure to run
+ ``./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade && ./bin/gmg dbupdate``
+
+That's it, probably! If you run into problems, don't hesitate to
+`contact us <http://mediagoblin.org/pages/join.html>`_
+(IRC is often best).
+
+This tool has a lot of new tools for administrators, hence the
+nickname "Lore of the Admin"!
+
+**New features:**
+
+- New tools to control how much users can upload, both as a general
+ user limit, or per file.
+
+ You can set this with the following options in your mediagoblin
+ config file: `upload_limit` and `max_file_size`. Both are integers
+ in megabytes.
+
+ There is an option to control how much each individual user can
+ upload too, though an interface for this is not yet exposed. See
+ the "uploaded" field on the core__users table.
+
+- MediaGoblin now contains an authentication plugin for ldap! You
+ can turn on the mediagoblin.plugins.ldap plugin to make use of
+ this. See the documentation: :ref:`ldap-plugin`
+
+- There's a new command line upload tool! At long last! See
+ `./bin/gmg addmedia --help` for info on how to use this.
+
+- There's now a terms of service document included in MediaGoblin.
+ It's turned on by default, but you can turn it off if you prefer,
+ just set the configuration option of `show_tos` in the [mediagoblin]
+ section of your config to false.
+
+ Alternately, you can override the template for the terms of service
+ document to set up your own.
+
+- We have a lot of new administrative tooling features!
+ - There's a built-in privileges/permissions system now.
+ Administrators are given access to modifying these parameters
+ from a user administration panel.
+ - Users can submit reports about other problematic users or media
+ and administrators are given tools to resolve said reports and
+ ban/unban users if needed.
+
+- New version of video.js is included with MediaGoblin. Slight
+ amount of skinning to match the MediaGoblin look, otherwise also
+ uses the new default skin.
+
+Developer-oriented changes:
+
+- New developer tool for quickly setting up a development environment
+ in `devtools/make_example_database.sh`. Requires doing a checkout
+ of our other tool `mg_dev_environments <https://gitorious.org/mediagoblin/mg-dev-environments/>`_
+ (probably in the parent Directory) though!
+- A "foundations" framework has entered into the codebase.
+ This is mostly just relevant to coders, but it does mean that it's
+ much easier to add database structures that need some entries filled
+ automatically by default.
+- Refactoring to the authentication code and the reprocessing code
+
+
+0.5.1
+=====
+
+v0.5.1 is a bugfix release... the steps are the same as for 0.5.1.
+
+**Bugfixes:**
+
+- python 2.6 compatibility restored
+- Fixed last release's release notes ;)
+
+
+0.5.0
+=====
+
+**NOTE:** If using the API is important to you, we're in a state of
+ransition towards a new API via the Pump API. As such, though the old
+API still probably works, some changes have happened to the way oauth
+works to make it more Pump-compatible. If you're heavily using
+clients using the old API, you may wish to hold off on upgrading for
+now. Otherwise, jump in and have fun! :)
+
+**Do this to upgrade**
+
+1. Make sure to run
+ ``./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade && ./bin/gmg dbupdate``
+ after upgrading.
+
+.. mention something about new, experimental configure && make support
+
+2. Note that a couple of things have changed with ``mediagoblin.ini``. First
+ we have a new Authentication System. You need to add
+ ``[[mediagoblin.plugins.basic_auth]]`` under the ``[plugins]`` section of
+ your config file. Second, media types are now plugins, so you need to add
+ each media type under the ``[plugins]`` section of your config file.
+
+
+3. We have made a script to transition your ``mediagoblin_local.ini`` file for
+ you. This script can be found at:
+
+ http://mediagoblin.org/download/0.5.0_config_converter.py
+
+If you run into problems, don't hesitate to
+`contact us <http://mediagoblin.org/pages/join.html>`_
+(IRC is often best).
+
+**New features**
+
+* As mentioned above, we now have a plugable Authentication system. You can
+ use any combination of the multiple authentication systems
+ (:ref:`basic_auth-chapter`, :ref:`persona-chapter`, :ref:`openid-chapter`)
+ or write your own!
+* Media types are now plugins! This means that new media types will
+ be able to do new, fancy things they couldn't in the future.
+* We now have notification support! This allows you to subscribe to media
+ comments and to be notified when someone comments on your media.
+* New reprocessing framework! You can now reprocess failed uploads, and
+ send already processed media back to processing to re-transcode or resize
+ media.
+* Comment preview!
+* Users now have the ability to change their email associated with their
+ account.
+* New oauth code as we move closer to federation support.
+* Experimental pyconfigure support for GNU-style configue and makefile
+ deployment.
+* Database foundations! You can now pre-populate the database models.
+* Way faster unit test run-time via in-memory database.
+* All mongokit stuff has been cleaned up.
+* Fixes for non-ascii filenames.
+* The option to stay logged in.
+* Mediagoblin has been upgraded to use the latest `celery <http://celeryproject.org/>`_
+ version.
+* You can now add jinja2 extensions to your config file to use in custom
+ templates.
+* Fixed video permission issues.
+* Mediagoblin docs are now hosted with multiple versions.
+* We removed redundent tooltips from the STL media display.
+* We are now using itsdangerous for verification tokens.
+
+
+0.4.1
+=====
+
+This is a bugfix release for 0.4.0. This only implements one major
+fix in the newly released document support which prevented the
+"conversion via libreoffice" feature.
+
+If you were running 0.4.0 you can upgrade to v0.4.1 via a simple
+switch and restarting mediagoblin/celery with no other actions.
+
+Otherwise, follow 0.4.0 instructions.
+
+
+0.4.0
+=====
+
+**Do this to upgrade**
+
+1. Make sure to run
+ ``./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade && ./bin/gmg dbupdate``
+ after upgrading.
+2. See "For Theme authors" if you have a custom theme.
+3. Note that ``./bin/gmg theme assetlink`` is now just
+ ``./bin/gmg assetlink`` and covers both plugins and assets.
+ Keep on reading to hear more about new plugin features.
+4. If you want to take advantage of new plugins that have statically
+ served assets, you are going to need to add the new "plugin_static"
+ section to your nginx config. Basically the following for nginx::
+
+ # Plugin static files (usually symlinked in)
+ location /plugin_static/ {
+ alias /srv/mediagoblin.example.org/mediagoblin/user_dev/plugin_static/;
+ }
+
+ Similarly, if you've got a modified paste config, you may want to
+ borrow the app:plugin_static section from the default paste.ini
+ file.
+5. We now use itsdangerous for sessions; if you had any references to
+ beaker in your paste config you can remove them. Again, see the
+ default paste.ini config
+6. We also now use git submodules. Please do:
+ ``git submodule init && git submodule update``
+ You will need to do this to use the new PDF support.
+
+**For theme authors**
+
+If you have your own theme or you have any "user modified templates",
+please note the following:
+
+* mediagoblin/bits/ files above-content.html, body-end.html,
+ body-start.html now are renamed... they have underscores instead of
+ dashes in the filenames now :)
+* There's a new file: ``mediagoblin/bits/frontpage_welcome.html``.
+ You can easily customize this to give a welcome page appropriate to
+ your site.
+
+
+**New features**
+
+* PDF media type!
+* Improved plugin system. More flexible, better documented, with a
+ new plugin authoring section of the docs.
+* itsdangerous based sessions. No more beaker!
+* New, experimental Piwigo-based API. This means you should be able
+ to use MediaGoblin with something like Shotwell. (Again, a word of
+ caution: this is *very experimental*!)
+* Human readable timestamps, and the option to display the original
+ date of an image when available (available as the
+ "original_date_visible" variable)
+* Moved unit testing system from nosetests to py.test so we can better
+ handle issues with sqlalchemy exploding with different database
+ configurations. Long story :)
+* You can now disable the ability to post comments.
+* Tags now can be up to length 255 characters by default.
