If you're upgrading from a previous release, please read it carefully, or at least skim over it. +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: + + .. code-block:: ini + + [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 release. If +you run into problems, don't hesitate to +`contact us <http://mediagoblin.org/pages/join.html>`_ +(IRC is often best). + +**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 media 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 not 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! + +* You can now delete your account from the user preferences page if + you so wish. + +**Other changes** + +* Plugin writers: Internal restructuring led to mediagoblin.db.sql* be + mediagoblin.db.* starting from 0.3.3 + +* Dependency list has been reduced not requiring the "webob" package anymore. + +* And many small fixes/improvements, too numerous to list! + + +0.3.2 +===== + +This will be the last release that is capable of converting from an earlier +MongoDB-based MediaGoblin instance to the newer SQL-based system. + +**Do this to upgrade** + + # directory of your mediagoblin install + cd /srv/mediagoblin.example.org + + # copy source for this release + git fetch + git checkout tags/v0.3.2 + + # perform any needed database updates + bin/gmg dbupdate + + # restart your servers however you do that, e.g., + sudo service mediagoblin-paster restart + sudo service mediagoblin-celeryd restart + + +**New features** + +* **3d model support!** + + You can now upload STL and OBJ files and display them in + MediaGoblin. Requires a recent-ish Blender; for details see: + :ref:`deploying-chapter` + +* **trim_whitespace** + + We bundle the optional plugin trim_whitespace which reduces the size + of the delivered html output by reducing redundant whitespace. + + See :ref:`core-plugin-section` for plugin documentation + +* **A new API!** + + It isn't well documented yet but we do have an API. There is an + `android application in progress <https://gitorious.org/mediagoblin/mediagoblin-android>`_ + which makes use of it, and there are some demo applications between + `automgtic <https://github.com/jwandborg/automgtic>`_, an + automatic media uploader for your desktop + and `OMGMG <https://github.com/jwandborg/omgmg>`_, an example of + a web application hooking up to the API. + + This is a plugin, so you have to enable it in your mediagoblin + config file by adding a section under [plugins] like:: + + [plugins] + [[mediagoblin.plugins.api]] + + Note that the API works but is not nailed down... the way it is + called may change in future releases. + +* **OAuth login support** + + For applications that use OAuth to connect to the API. + + This is a plugin, so you have to enable it in your mediagoblin + config file by adding a section under [plugins] like:: + + [plugins] + [[mediagoblin.plugins.oauth]] + +* **Collections** + + We now have user-curated collections support. These are arbitrary + galleries that are customizable by users. You can add media to + these by clicking on the paperclip icon when logged in and looking + at a media entry. + +* **OpenStreetMap licensing display improvements** + + More accurate display of OSM licensing, and less disruptive: you + click to "expand" the display of said licensing. + + Geolocation is also now on by default. + +* **Miscelaneous visual improvements** + + We've made a number of small visual improvements including newer and + nicer looking thumbnails and improved checkbox placement. + + 0.3.1 ===== |
