13.8.1

[SubJunk]

Summary

This release fixes transcoding for some devices and bumps our major dependencies like FFmpeg and MediaInfo, as well as many others.

It is possibly our last v13 release, as our preview builds for v14 have been very stable and are feature-complete now. We are essentially in bug-fixing mode for that version, and now maintenance mode for this version.

This release is available via our Patreon page, and will be available here when the next release happens.

Changes:

General

• Fixed transcoding on renderers with MediaInfo=false
• Added ability to add end-to-end web browser tests on Chrome, Firefox and Safari via Playwright
• Improved logging detail and test coverage (thanks, Priyanka Ghosh Dastidar!)
• Made server tests not run when only front-end code has changed

Translation updates via Crowdin

• English (UK) (49%) (thanks, Pete Russell!)
• Estonian (13%) (thanks, Avernys!)
• French (100%) (thanks, Fredo1650!)
• Romanian (48%) (thanks, Bogdan Ungureanu!)
