If you're upgrading from a previous release, please read it
carefully, or at least skim over it.
+.. note::
+
+ ALWAYS do backups before upgrading, especially before
+ running migrations! That way if something goes wrong, we can fix
+ things!
+
+ And be sure to shut down your current mediagoblin/celery processes
+ before upgrading!
+
+.. 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
+
+
+0.9.0

+"plumbing upgrade" release to MediaGoblin. Notably, we now support
+Python 3, which is pretty cool!

+**Do this to upgrade**
+
+0. If you haven't already, switch the git remote URL:
+ ``git remote set-url origin git://git.savannah.gnu.org/mediagoblin.git``
+1. Update to the latest release. If checked out from git, run:
+ ``git fetch && git checkout -q v0.9.0``
+2. Run
+ ``./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make``
+3. Also run
+ ``./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade && ./bin/gmg dbupdate``

+- Python 3 is now a first class citizen! We now support both
+ Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 or later.
+- Major updates to internal tooling to pave the way for federation.

+ permitting generic relations)
+ - OAuth updates
+ - Updating how we handle collections
+ - Add a "graveyard" system with tombstones for keeping information

+ as a dropdown option while submitting media.
+- Begin using Alembic for migrations
+- Lots of bugfixes and etc
+ - Many fixes to typos

+=====
+
+This release is a security and bugfix release. We recommend you upgrade as
+soon as possible.

+ ``git remote set-url origin git://git.savannah.gnu.org/mediagoblin.git``

+
+(Please check intermediate release steps as well if not upgrading from
+0.8.0)
+
+**Bugfixes/improvements:**
+
+Most importantly, there is an **important security fix**:
+
+Quoting here a portion of the
+`release blogpost <http://mediagoblin.org/news/mediagoblin-0.8.1-security-release.html>`_::
+
+ We have had a security problem in our OAuth implementation reported to
+ us privately and have taken steps to address it. The security problem
+ affects all versions of GNU MediaGoblin since 0.5.0. I have created a patch
+ for this and released a minor version 0.8.1. It's strongly advised
+ that everyone upgrade as soon as they can.
+
+ In order to exploit the security issue, an attacker must have had
+ access to a logged in session to your GNU MediaGoblin account. If you
+ have kept your username and password secret, logging in only over
+ HTTPS and you've not left yourself logged in on publicly accessible
+ computers, you should be safe. However it's still advised all users
+ take the following precautions, listed below.
+
+ Users should check their authorized clients. Any client which looks
+ unfamiliar to you, you should deauthorize. To check this:
+
+ 1) Log in to the GNU MediaGoblin instance
+ 2) Click the drop down arrow in the upper right
+ 3) Click "Change account settings"
+ 4) At the bottom click the "Deauthorize applications" link
+
+ If you are unsure of any of these, click "Deauthorize".
+
+There are other bugfixes, but they are fairly minor.
+
+
+0.8.0
+=====
+
+This release has a number of changes related to the way we recommend
+building MediaGoblin; upgrade steps are below, but if you run into
+trouble, consider pinging the MediaGoblin list or IRC channel.
+
+**Do this to upgrade**
+
+0. If you haven't already, switch the git remote URL:
+ ``git remote set-url origin git://git.savannah.gnu.org/mediagoblin.git``
+1. If you don't have node.js installed, you'll need it for handling
+ MediaGoblin's static web dependencies. Install this via your
+ distribution! (In the glorious future MediaGoblin will be simply
+ packaged for your distribution so you won't have to worry about
+ this!)
+2. Update to the latest release. If checked out from git, run:
+ ``git fetch && git checkout -q v0.8.0``
+3. Run
+ ``./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make``
+4. Also run
+ ``./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade && ./bin/gmg dbupdate``
+
+Please note the important steps of 0 and 2, which have not appeared in
+prior upgrade guides!
+
+Additionally:
+
+- Are you using audio or video media types? In that case, you'll need
+ to update your Gstreamer instance to 1.0.
+- The Pump API needs some data passed through to the WSGI application,
+ so if you are using apache with mod_wsgi you should be sure to make
+ sure to add "WSGIPassAuthorization On" to your config. (Using the
+ default MediaGoblin documnetation and config, things should work
+ as-is.)
+
+
+**Bugfixes/improvements:**
+
+- Preliminary / experimental support for Python 3!
+- Footer forced to the bottom of page
+- Massive improvements to Pump API support
+ - Able to run on multiple existing Pump clients! Including Pumpa
+ and Dianara!
+- much cleaner ./configure && make support; it's now the default
+- Clearer documentation on permissions and installation
+- Switched from Transifex, which had become proprietary, to an
+ instance of Pootle hosted for GNU
+- Moved to Gstreamer 1.0! This also adds a new thumbnailer which
+ gives much better results in
+- Removed terrible check-javascript-dependencies-into-your-application
+ setup, now using Bower for dependency tracking
+- Put some scaffolding in place for Alembic, which will be used for
+ future mitration work
+- Automatically create a fresh mediagoblin.ini from
+ mediagoblin.ini.example
+- no more need for mediagoblin_local.ini (though it's still supported)
+- Fix lowercasing of username in auth steps
+- Slowly moving towards removing global state (a source of many bugs)
+
