0.3.3
=====
**Do this to upgrade**
1. Make sure to run ``bin/gmg dbupdate`` after upgrading.
2. OpenStreetMap is now a plugin, so if you want to use it, add the
following to your config file::
[plugins]
[[mediagoblin.plugins.geolocation]]
If you have your own theme, you may need to make some adjustments to
it as some theme related things may have changed in this releae. If
you run into problems, don't hesitate to join #mediagoblin on
irc.freenode.net and we'll try to help.
**New features**
* New dropdown menu for accessing various features.
* Significantly improved URL generation. Now mediagoblin won't give
up on making a slug if it looks like there will be a duplicate;
it'll try extra hard to generate a meaningful one instead.
Similarly, linking to an id no longer can possibly conflict with
linking to a slug; /u/username/m/id:35/ is the kind of reference we
now use to linking to entries with ids. However, old links with
entries that linked to ids should work just fine with our migration.
The only urls that might break in this release are ones using colons
or equal signs.
* New template hooks for plugin authoring.
* As a demonstration of new template hooks for plugin authoring,
openstreetmap support now moved to a plugin!
* Method to add icon to collections switched from icon of paperclip to
button with "add to collection" text.
* Bug where videos often failed to produce a proper thumbnail fixed!
* Copying around files in mediagoblin now much more efficient, doesn't
waste gobs of memory.
* Video transcoding now optional for videos that meet certain
criteria. By default, MediaGoblin will now now transcode webm
videos that are smaller in resolution than the mediagoblin defaults,
and mediagoblin can also be configured to allow theora files to not
be transcoded as well.
* Per-user license preference option; always want your uploads to be
BY-SA and tired of changing that field? You can now set your
license preference in your user settings.
* Video player now responsive; better for mobile!
**Other changed**
* Plugin writers: Internal restructuring led to mediagoblin.db.sql* be
mediagoblin.db.* starting from 0.3.3
* Dependency list has been reduced not requireing the "webob" package anymore.
* Dependency list has been reduced not requiring the "webob" package anymore.
* And many small fixes/improvements, too numerous to list!
0.3.2
