|
||||
If you're upgrading from a previous release, please read it
|
||||
carefully, or at least skim over it.
|
||||
|
||||
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 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).
|
||||
|
||||
**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:**
|
||||
- Webfinger 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.
