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**
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. Run
``./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make``
3. Also run
``./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade && ./bin/gmg dbupdate``
Please note this important second new step!
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)
0.7.1
