v0.2.0

2022-07-23

Breaking Changes

  • To validate from where the interface can be accessed, a new environment variable is required. Set TA_HOST to your hostname or IP, Link.
  • Tube Archivist now depends on Elasticsearch version 8, Link.
    • For peace of mind, make a manual backup before starting the update.
    • If you are using bbilly1/tubearchivist-es you will automatically get the recommended and tested version, else set your tag to 8.3.2 when using official Elasticsearch.
    • If you have been using the recommended version 7.17 before, Elasticsearch will take care of the internal upgrade automatically.
    • This will break backwards compatibility, you won’t be able to downgrade to ES7 - at least not easily.
    • Be patient, the migration can take a few minutes.

Added

  • Added validation from where this application can be served with the TA_HOST environment variable, improving security.
  • Added authentication for all static user generated files such as thumbnails and media files:
    • This might have a hopefully neglectable performance impact when using a big archive page size.
    • But these improved validations gives the confidence to remove the security notification from the known limitations.
  • Added keyword based search and filter for all your queries.
  • Added full text search over all your indexed subtitles.
    • As documented in the wiki.
