If you're upgrading from a previous release, please read it carefully, or at least skim over it. +0.6.0 +===== + +**Do this to upgrade** + +1. Make sure to run + ``./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade && ./bin/gmg dbupdate`` + after upgrading. + +That's it, probably!If you run into problems, don't hesitate to +`contact us `_ +(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 `_ + (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 ===== -- 2.25.1
