If you're upgrading from a previous release, please read it
carefully, or at least skim over it.
+.. note::
+
+ The MediaGoblin repository used to be on gitorious.org, but since
+ gitorious.org shut down, we had to move. We are presently on
+ Savannah. You may need to update your git repository location::
+
+ git remote set-url origin git://git.savannah.gnu.org/mediagoblin.git
+
+
+0.7.1
+=====
+
+This is a purely bugfix release. Important changes happened since
+0.7.0; if running MediaGoblin 0.7.0, an upgrade is highly recommended;
+see below. This release is especially useful if you have been running
+postgres and have been receiving seemingly random database transaction
+errors.
+
+**Do this to upgrade**
+
+1. Update to the latest release. If checked out from git, run:
+ ``git fetch && git checkout -q v0.7.1 && git submodule init && git submodule update``
+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).
+
+**Bugfixes/improvements:**
+
+- The *MOST IMPORTANT* change in this release:
+ Disabling a couple of non-critical features that were causing
+ database transaction issues. (These should be back by 0.8.0.)
+
+ + Disabled the "checking if the database is up to date at
+ mediagoblin startup" feature
+ + Disabled the garbage collection stuff by default for now
+ (You can set garbage_collection under the config mediagoblin
+ header to something other than 0 to turn it back on for now, but
+ it's potentially risky for the moment.)
+
+- Some fixes to the 0.7.0 docs
+- Fixed Sandy 70s speedboat navbar by updating git submodule
+- Added support for cr2 files in raw_image media type
+- Added a description to setup.py
+- Collection and CollectionItem objects now have nicer in-python representations
+- Fixed unicode error with raw image mediatype logging
+- Fixed #945 "Host metadata does not confirm to spec (/.well-known/meta-data)"
+
+ + Add XRD+XML formatting for /.well-known/host-meta
+ + Add /.well-known/webfinger API to lookup user hrefs
+
+- deleteuser gmg subcommand now fails gracefully
+- Removed a false download link from setup.py
+
+0.7.0
+====
+
+**Do this to upgrade**
+
+1. Update to the latest release. If checked out from git, run:
+ ``git fetch && git checkout -q v0.7.0 && git submodule init && git submodule update``
+2. Make sure to run
+ ``./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade && ./bin/gmg dbupdate``
+
+(NOTE: earlier versions of the 0.7.0 release instructions left out the
+``git submodule init`` step! If you did an upgrade earlier based on
+these instructions and your theme looks weirdly aligned, try running
+the following:)
+
+ ``git submodule init && git submodule update``
+
+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).
+
+**New features:**
+
+- New mobile upload API making use of the
+ `Pump API <https://github.com/e14n/pump.io/blob/master/API.md>`_
+ (which will be the foundation for MediaGoblin's federation)
+- New theme: Sandy 70s Speedboat!
+
+- Metadata features! We also now have a json-ld context.
+
+- Many improvements for archival institutions, including metadata
+ support and featuring items on the homepage. With the (new!)
+ archivalook plugin enabled, featuring media is possible.
+ Additionally, metadata about the particular media item will show up
+ in the sidebar.
+
+ In the future these plugins may be separated, but for now they have
+ come together as part of the same plugin.
+
+- There is a new gmg subcommand called batchaddmedia that allows for
+ uploading many files at once. This is aimed to be useful for
+ archival institutions and groups where there is an already existing
+ and large set of available media that needs to be included.
+- Speaking of, the call to postgres in the makefile is fixed.
+- We have a new, generic media-page context hook that allows for
+ adding context depending on the type of media.
+- Tired of video thumbnails breaking during processing all the time?
+ Good news, everyone! Video thumbnail generation should not fail
+ frequently anymore. (We think...)
+- You can now set default permissions for new users in the config.
+
+- bootstrap.sh / gnu configuration stuff still exists, but moves to be
+ experimental-bootstrap.sh so as to not confuse newcomers. There are
+ some problems currently with the autoconf stuff that we need to work
+ out... we still have interest in supporting it, though help is
+ welcome.
+
+- MediaGoblin now checks whether or not the database is up to date
+ when starting.
+- Switched to `Skeleton <http://www.getskeleton.com/>`_ as a system for
+ graphic design.
+- New gmg subcommands for administrators:
+ - A "deletemedia" command
+ - A "deleteuser" command
+- We now have a blogging media type... it's very experimental,
+ however. Use with caution!
+- We have switched to exifread as an external library for reading EXIF
+ data. It's basically the same thing as before, but packaged
+ separately from MediaGoblin.
+- Many improvements to internationalization. Also (still rudimentary,
+ but existant!) RTL language support!
+
+**Known issues:**
+ - The host-meta is now json by default; in the spec it should be xml by
+ default. We have done this because of compatibility with the pump
+ API. We are checking with upstream to see if there is a way to
+ resolve this discrepancy.
+
+
+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
