feat: option to increase the number of videos shown on the popular page

Only works with cookies for now. Support for numbered backends will be
added later since it requires some black magic.

 ## vX.Y.0 (future)
 
+## v2.20250314.0
 
+### Wrap-up
+
+This release brings the long awaited feature of supporting multiple audio tracks in a video, some bug fixes and UX improvements, and many other things primarily oriented to self-hosting instances, and developers using the API.
+
+The `Community` channel tab has been replaced by `Posts` in light of YouTube changes, but the URL remains the same.
+
+Tamil is now available as an interface language
+
+Automatic instance redirects will no longer have the chance to annoyingly redirect to the same instance you're on.
+
+Due to their requirements for video playback, Invidious will log warning messages when either inv-sig-helper, `po_token` or `visitor_data` is not configured
+
+Invidious is now able to listen through a UNIX socket
+
+User notifications are now batched for each channel
+
+**The minimum Crystal version supported by Invidious now `1.12.0`**
+
+### New features & important changes
+
+#### For users
+
+* Invidious now supports videos with multiple audio tracks allowing you to select which one you want to hear with!
+* Channel pages now have a proper previous page button
+* RSS feeds for channels will no longer contain the channel's profile picture
+* Support for channel `courses` page has been added
+* `Community` tabs has been replaced with `Posts` to comply with YouTube changes
+* Tamil is now an available interface language.
+
+#### For instance owners
+* Invidious is now able to listen on a UNIX socket
+* User notifications are now batched by channels, significantly reducing database load.
+* **`1.12.0` is now the oldest Crystal version that Invidious supports**
+* The example config will no longer force an http proxy to be configured
+* Invidious will now warn when any top-level config option must be set to a custom value, instead of just `HMAC_KEY`
+* Due to their requirements for video playback, Invidious will log warning messages when either inv-sig-helper, `po_token` or `visitor_data` is not configured
+
+#### For developers
+* Invidious is now compliant to Crystal 1.15 formatting rules, which are incompatible with earlier versions.
+* `/api/v1/transcripts/{id}` has been added to the API to allow for fetching the transcripts for a video. The arguments are the same as the captions endpoint.
+* `author_thumbnail` field has been added to videos in the various paged api endpoints
+* `published` field has been added to the API response for a video's related videos.
+* Docker builds now uses the Crystal compiler cache, reducing build times on repeated builds significantly.
+* Invidious ajax action handlers has undergone a clean up and may face compatibility issues with code that depends on these endpoints.
+* The versions of Crystal that we test in CI/CD are now: `1.12.1`, `1.13.2`, `1.14.0`, `1.15.0`
+
+### Bugs fixed
+
+#### User-side
+* Local video listen mode is now preserved when clicking on a video in the sidebar playlist widget
+* Automatic instance redirects will no longer redirect to the same instance the user is on
+* Fix some thumbnails responses returning 404
+* Videos: Fix missing host parameter on playback URLs when `local=true`
+* Fix HLS being used for non-livestream videos
+* Fix timeupdate event errors when required elements are missing
+* User: Ensure IO is properly closed when importing NewPipe subscriptions
+
+#### For instance owners
+* Fix http proxy configuration being forced by the standard example config
+
+#### API
+* `/api/v1/videos/{id}` will no longer return an occasional empty JSON response

 ## Features and changes of this fork:
 
-- [Use a Redis compatible DB for video cache instead of just PostgreSQL](https://git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/invidious/commit/bbc5913b8dacaed4d466bcc466a0782d5e3f5edc): Invidious by default caches the video information for some hours in PostgreSQL. Since the data is accessed a lot, it is better off using an in memory database instead, it's faster and it will not wear out your SSD (due to constant writes to the database).
+- ~~[Use a Redis compatible DB for video cache instead of just PostgreSQL](https://git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/invidious/commit/bbc5913b8dacaed4d466bcc466a0782d5e3f5edc): Invidious by default caches the video information for some hours in PostgreSQL. Since the data is accessed a lot, it is better off using an in memory database instead, it's faster and it will not wear out your SSD (due to constant writes to the database).~~
 
-It can be set using this on `config.yml`:
-```yaml
-redis_url: tcp://127.0.0.1:6379
-```
+	~~It can be set using this on `config.yml`:~~
+	```yaml
+	redis_url: tcp://127.0.0.1:6379
+	```
+
+- [Ability to use different video caching backends](https://git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/invidious/commit/e76867aaba022d64ebab73648a37a0c63b788e0f): If you want, you can the PostgreSQL video cache the Redis one or the built-in in memory one that uses the LRU algorithm. Redis and LRU are recommended for public instances, but since Invidious has memory leaks, the LRU cache is lost if Invidious crashes or it's restarted, so because of this, redis is the default option.
+
+	```yaml
+	video_cache:
+	enabled: true
+	backend: 1 # 0 is PSQL, 1 Redis, 2 Built-in LRU
+	lru_max_size: 18000 # ~500MB (ignored if backend is 0 or 1)
+	```
+
+	If you choose to use Redis, make sure to set the `redis_url` config property:
+
+	```yaml
+	redis_url: tcp://127.0.0.1:6379
+	```
 
 - [Removal of materialized views on PostgreSQL](github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/2469): If you don't have this on your Invidious public instance, your SSD will suffer and it will catch on fire https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/2469#issuecomment-2012623454
 
-- External video playback proxy: Let's you use an external video playback proxy like https://git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/http3-ytproxy or https://github.com/TeamPiped/piped-proxy instead of the one that is bundled with Invidious. It's useful if you are proxying video and your throughput is not low. I did this to distribute the traffic across different servers. If you are selfhosting only for a few amount of people, this is not really useful for you.
-
-It can be set using this on `config.yml`:
-```yaml
-external_videoplayback_proxy: "https://inv-proxy.example.com"
-```
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> If you setup this, Invidious will check if the proxy is alive doing a request to `https://inv-proxy.example.com/health`, and if it doesn't get a response code of 200, Invidious will fallback to the local videoplayback proxy! This is only currently supported by https://git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/http3-ytproxy
-
 - Limit the DASH resolution sent to the clients: It can be set using `max_dash_resolution` on the config. Example: `max_dash_resolution: 1080`
 
 - [Limit requests made to Youtube API when pulling subscriptions (feeds)](https://git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/invidious/commit/df94f1c0b82d95846574487231ea251530838ef0): Due to the recent changes of Youtube ("This helps protect out community", "Sign in to confirm you are not a bot"), subscriptions now have limited information, this is because Invidious by default, makes a video request to youtube to be able to get more information about the video, like `length_seconds`, `live_now`, `premiere_timestamp`, and `views`. If you have a lot of users with a ton of subscriptions, Invidious will basically spam youtube API all the time, resulting in a block from youtube.
 
-It can be set using this on `config.yml`:
-```yaml
-use_innertube_for_feeds: false
-```
+	It can be set using this on `config.yml`:

+
+
+- Autoreload configuration: If you are hosting Invidious on Linux without docker, this may be useful for you if you want to change the banner without restarting Invidious.
+
+	```yaml
+	reload_config_automatically: true
+	```
+
+## Development features
+
+- Option to disable CSP: Useful for local development, set `csp: false` on the config and done
