Jellyfin, the open source media server, has released their 9th RC for version 10.11.0.
This is a preview release, intended for those interested in testing 10.11.0 before it’s final public release.
If you intend to test this, BE SURE you stop your Jellyfin server and take a full backup before upgrading!
WIP release notes here for now: https://notes.jellyfin.org/v10.11.0_features
See the GitHub link for more details and a full list of changes.
- Can not wait for final release, but why v10.11? Such big changes… V11 would be better imo 🤔 - Anyway thanks to the devs for this great release - I think the feel from the Devs is that there isn’t enough new functionality to justify the major version bump, this primarily being a reimplementation of existing features. - BUT, I agree with you, it should definitely be V11 under the semantic versioning scheme. 
 Whilst there is a migration path here, the database changes under the hood alone are likely to break backwards compatibility with all plugins (with in-house plugins being upgraded in sync).
 Such breakage is kind of the defining characteristic of a MAJOR version.- New funcionality I would like to see would be SSO with OIDC without an exterrnal plugin 😁 - Maybe then we get v11 - Same dude… Same 
 
 
- In traditional versioning systems you only jump major versions if you break compatibility with previous versions. For instance Semantic Versioning. - Which they do here. Once you upgrade to 10.11, your database is not 10.10 compatible anymore. So you can’t downgrade without restoring a backup. - If an app will work with both without needing to change its API then that counts even if it can’t use the new features. 
 
 
 
- HEVC support is enabled for Firefox 134 - Cool for anyone not using AV1 which I assume is a big chunk of the userbase because not everyone has good AV1 hardware acceleration lol - Unless the media also uses HDR in which case the server will still be required to transcode. 
 
- The startup UI is a neat idea
