 # CHANGELOG
 
-## 2024-04-26
+
+## v2.20240825.2 (2024-08-26)
+
+This releases fixes the container tags pushed on quay.io.
+Previously, the ARM64 build was released under the `latest` tag, instead of `latest-arm64`.
+
+### Full list of pull requests merged since the last release (newest first)
+
+CI: Fix docker container tags ([#4883], by @SamantazFox)
+
+[#4877]: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/4877
+
+
+## v2.20240825.1 (2024-08-25)
+
+Add patch component to be [semver] compliant and make github actions happy.
+
+[semver]: https://semver.org/
+
+### Full list of pull requests merged since the last release (newest first)
+
+Allow manual trigger of release-container build ([#4877], thanks @syeopite)
+
+[#4877]: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/4877
+
+
+## v2.20240825.0 (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).
+
+[inv_sig_helper]: https://github.com/iv-org/inv_sig_helper
+
+#### 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"
+
+[ameba]: https://github.com/crystal-ameba/ameba
+[#4256]: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/4256
+
+
+### 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
+
+[`rel`]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/rel
+
+#### 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.
