* **Debian Bullseye admins:** Debian Bullseye removed `python` binary/link in favour of explicit `python2`/`python3` binaries. But `youtube-dl` used by PeerTube needs it so you'll have to install [python-is-python2](https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/python-is-python2) or [python-is-python3](https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/python-is-python3) **before** upgrading PeerTube
* **Deprecate** `videoLanguageManager.addLanguage` and `videoLanguageManager.deleteLanguage`: use `videoLanguageManager.addConstant` and `videoLanguageManager.deleteConstant` instead

* Or you can apply the changes introduced in this commit: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/commit/86dc0b9cc9374cba7548bb613ff43d92f90570a8 and then use the auto upgrade script
* **Important:** You must update your nginx configuration to add the `upload-resumable` endpoint: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/support/nginx/peertube#L81
* By default, HLS transcoding is now enabled and webtorrent is disabled. We suggest you to reflect this change.

* **/!\ VERY IMPORTANT /!\\** We added a unique index on actors usernames to fix some federation bugs.
Please check now if you have conflicts:
* Go inside your database using `sudo -u postgres psql peertube_prod` and run `select "preferredUsername" from actor where "serverId" is null group by "preferredUsername" having count(*) > 1;`
* If you have some results, it seems you have duplicate channels/accounts.
For every entry, you'll have to change the preferredUsername of the entry you want (so they are unique).
The updated actors could have some federations issues
* Changed `auto_follow_index` setting configuration: you now have to use the complete URL in `index_url`.
If you used the default one, you now need to use `https://instances.joinpeertube.org/api/v1/instances/hosts`.
This way, you can also use a direct raw URL (Gitlab, Github, pastebin, etc.) using [a simple text format](https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/instances-peertube#peertube-auto-follow) and easily maintain small communities or instance recommendation lists.
* Add nginx configuration to redirect videos to an S3 bucket ([@rigelk](https://github.com/rigelk)) and update of the [corresponding documentation](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/admin-remote-storage).
* Optimize SQL request when broadcasting an activity
* Support infinite scrolling in the discover page
* Add ability for admins to create a user without a password. PeerTube will send a reset password link to the user ([@JohnXLivingston](https://github.com/JohnXLivingston))
* Improve embed title background opacity
* Add origin instance URL in watch page
* Clearer description of advanced search options
* Always copy full actor handle in video channels view ([@rigelk](https://github.com/rigelk))

* Support `rel="me"` links in markdown
* Use `originallyPublishedAt` from body on import if it exists
* Sort outbox by *DESC createdAt* order
* Increase video comment max length limit
### Bug fixes
* Update default user theme to `instance-default` (Jorge Silva)
* Fix user dropdown menu with long texts ([@rigelk](https://github.com/rigelk))
* Fix load more comments on infinite scroll ([@ipbc-dev](https://github.com/ipbc-dev))
* Fix CSP issue on WebFinger service ([@ZanyMonk](https://github.com/ZanyMonk))
* **/!\ VERY IMPORTANT /!\\** You need to execute manually a script (can be executed after your upgrade, while your PeerTube instance is running) to create HLS video torrents:
* **/!\ VERY IMPORTANT /!\\** In the next PeerTube release (v2.2.0), we'll add a unique index on actors usernames to fix some federation bugs.
Please check now if you have conflicts using:
* Go inside your database using `sudo -u postgres psql peertube_prod` and run `select "preferredUsername" from actor where "serverId" is null group by "preferredUsername" having count(*) > 1;`
* If you have some results, it seems you have duplicate channels/accounts.
For every entry, you'll have to change the preferredUsername of the entry you want (so they are unique).
The updated actors could have some federations issues
* We now use Buster for the docker image, so the image name changed:
*`production-stretch` becomes `production-buster`
*`v2.x.x-stretch` becomes `v2.x.x-buster`
* Users cannot create more than 20 channels now to avoid UX and actor name squatting issues
* We added a warning if the `videos` directory is the same than the `redundancy` one in your configuration file: it can create some bugs
* Add ability to generate HLS videos using `create-transcoding-job` script (see [the documentation](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/maintain-tools?id=create-transcoding-jobjs))
* Update nginx template: (you need to [update manually](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/support/doc/production.md#nginx))
* Add streaming playlists endpoint
* Add `client_body_temp_path` hint
* Relax TLS/SSL ciphers hardening to allow Android 4.4.2 to use the PeerTube instance API
* Add `maxFileSize`, `maxFiles` and `anonymizeIP` log options in configuration file

* Add plugin hook on registration `filter:api.user.signup.allowed.result`
### Docker
* Fix traefik version docker compose (**you need to update your `docker-compose.yml` file**: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/commit/f1b38883922fd59b36f093e44a5091e090d20862)
