-Audio transcoding is back!
---------------------------
-
-After removal of our first, buggy transcoding implementation, we're proud to announce
-that this feature is back. It is enabled by default, and can be configured/disabled
-in your instance settings!
-
-This feature works in the browser, with federated/non-federated tracks and using Subsonic clients.
-Transcoded tracks are generated on the fly, and cached for a configurable amount of time,
-to reduce the load on the server.

 Store licensing and copyright information from file metadata, if available (#308)
-
-Licensing and copyright information
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Funkwhale is now able to parse copyright and license data from file and store
-this information. Apart from displaying it on each track detail page,
-no additional behaviour is currently implemented to use this new data, but this
-will change in future releases.
-
-License and copyright data is also broadcasted over federation.
-
-License matching is done on the content of the ``License`` tag in the files,
-with a fallback on the ``Copyright`` tag.
-
-Funkwhale will successfully extract licensing data for the following licenses:
-
-- Creative Commons 0 (Public Domain)
-- Creative Commons 1.0 (All declinations)
-- Creative Commons 2.0 (All declinations)
-- Creative Commons 2.5 (All declinations and countries)
-- Creative Commons 3.0 (All declinations and countries)
-- Creative Commons 4.0 (All declinations)
-
-Support for other licenses such as Art Libre or WTFPL will be added in future releases.

 Allow embedding of albums and tracks available in public libraries via an <iframe> (#578)
-
-Iframe widget to embed public tracks and albums [manual action required]
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Funkwhale now support embedding a lightweight audio player on external websites
-for album and tracks that are available in public libraries. Important pages,
-such as artist, album and track pages also include OpenGraph tags that will
-enable previews on compatible apps (like sharing a Funkwhale track link on Mastodon
-or Twitter).
-
-To achieve that, we had to tweak the way Funkwhale front-end is served. You'll have
-to modify your nginx configuration when upgrading to keep your instance working.
-
-**On docker setups**, edit your ``/srv/funkwhale/nginx/funkwhale.template`` and replace
-the ``location /api/`` and `location /` blocks by the following snippets::
-
-    location / {
-        include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
-        # this is needed if you have file import via upload enabled
-        client_max_body_size ${NGINX_MAX_BODY_SIZE};
-        proxy_pass   http://funkwhale-api/;
-    }
-
-    location /front/ {
-        alias /frontend/;
-    }
-
-The change of configuration will be picked when restarting your nginx container.
-
-**On non-docker setups**, edit your ``/etc/nginx/sites-available/funkwhale.conf`` file,
-and replace the ``location /api/`` and `location /` blocks by the following snippets::

-Instance-level moderation tools
--------------------------------

-This release includes a first set of moderation tools that will give more control
-to admins about the way their instance federate with other instance and accounts on the network.
-Using these tools, it's now possible to:
-
-- Browse known accounts and domains, and associated data (storage size, software version, etc.)
-- Purge data belonging to given accounts and domains
-- Block or partially restrict interactions with any account or domain
-
-All those features are usable using a brand new "moderation" permission, meaning
-you can appoints one or nultiple moderators to help with this task.
-
-I'd like to thank all Mastodon contributors, because some of the these tools are heavily
-inspired from what's being done in Mastodon. Thank you so much!
