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 init && git submodule update`` +2. Make sure to run + ``./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade && ./bin/gmg dbupdate`` + +(NOTE: earlier versions of the 0.7.0 release instructions left out the +``git submodule init`` step! If you did an upgrade earlier based on +these instructions and your theme looks weirdly aligned, try running +the following:) + + ``git submodule init && git submodule update`` + +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:** + - The host-meta 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. + + 0.6.1 ===== |
