CHANGELOG

v2.20240825 (2024-08-25)

New features & important changes

For users

  • The search bar now has a button that you can click!
  • Youtube URLs can be pasted directly in the search bar. Prepend search query with a backslash (\) to disable that feature (useful if you need to search for a video whose title contains some youtube URL).
  • On the channel page the "streams" tab can be sorted by either: "newest", "oldest" or "popular"
  • Lots of translations have been updated (thanks to our contributors on Weblate!)
  • Videos embedded in local HTML files (e.g: a webpage saved from a blog) can now be played

For instance owners

  • Invidious now has the ability to provide a po_token and visitordata to Youtube in order to circumvent current Youtube restrictions.
  • Invidious can use an (optional) external signature server like inv_sig_helper. Please note that some videos can't be played without that signature server.
  • The Helm charts were moved to a separate repo: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious-helm-chart
  • We have changed how containers are released: the latest tag now tracks tagged releases, whereas the master tag tracks the most recent commits of the master branch ("nightly" builds).

For developpers

  • The versions of Crystal that we test in CI/CD are now: 1.9.2, 1.10.1, 1.11.2, 1.12.1. Please note that due to a bug in the libxml bindings (See #4256), versions prior to 1.10.0 are not recommended to use.
  • Thanks to @syeopite, the code is now ameba compliant.
  • Ameba is part of our CI/CD pipeline, and its rules will be enforced in future PRs.
  • The transcript code has been rewritten to permit transcripts as a feature rather than being only a workaround for captions. Trancripts feature is coming soon!
  • Various fixes regarding the logic interacting with Youtube
  • The sort_by parameter can be used on the /api/v1/channels/{id}/streams endpoint. Accepted values are: "newest", "oldest" and "popular"

Bugs fixed

User-side

  • Channels: fixed broken "subscribers" and "views" counters
  • Watch page: playback position is reset at the end of a video, so that the next time this video is watched, it will start from the beginning rather than 15 seconds before the end
  • Watch page: the items in the "add to playlist" drop down are now sorted alphabetically
  • Videos: the "genre" URL is now always pointing to a valid webpage
  • Playlists: Fixed Could not parse N episodes error on podcast playlists
  • All external links should now have the rel attibute set to noreferrer noopener for increased privacy.
  • Preferences: Fixed the admin-only "modified source code" input being ignored
  • Watch/channel pages: use the full image URL in og:image and twitter:image meta tags

API

  • fixed the local parameter not applying to formatStreams on /api/v1/videos/{id}
  • fixed an Index out of bounds error hapenning when a playlist had no videos
  • fixed duplicated query parameters in proxied video URLs
  • Return actual video height/width/fps rather than hard coded values
  • Fixed the /api/v1/popular endpoint not returning a proper error code/message when the popular page/endpoint are disabled.
