There is still a lot to tell about this v3, and people who contributed to make it happen. That's a good thing, because we will talk about it in January, for the v3 release post.

These four features are all implemented, and can already be used on instances updated to version <em>v1.0.0-beta.10</em> (for example <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://framatube.org">https://framatube.org</a>). Regarding the subtitles support, you can test them on the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://framatube.org/videos/watch/217eefeb-883d-45be-b7fc-a788ad8507d3"> the "What is PeerTube"</a> video.
These improvements are the result of the many contributions of the members of the PeerTube community (thank you!), but also of a year of work that we have financed through <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://soutenir.framasoft.org">donations that support all of our association's projects</a>, currently in a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://contributopia.org/journal">donation campaign</a>.
This <a href="https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/search-index" target="_blank">index engine code</a> is under FLOSS license so that anyone can host their own index engine and set their own eligibility rules. As an example, if you want to set up a search interface that only allows you to search for videos hosted on instances dedicated to video games, you will just have to create a list including all instances URLs you have selected and put it online. So that the index engine can refer to it and return you the appropriate results.
This <a target="_blank" href="https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/official-plugins/-/tree/master/peertube-plugin-video-annotation">annotation PeerTube plugin</a> allows you to display information in the player at a given time of a video. To do so, once the plugin is installed on the instance, you just have to go on the uploaded video information page, open the <i>Plugin settings</i> tab and then add your annotations and their time code. The placement of the annotations is in the player top right corner by default, but you can choose other locations. The annotations format must respect specific rules:
This index engine has common features with the PeerTube search engine (API). So, you could use this global search system in two different ways: by creating a dedicated web interface for it or by integrating it on a PeerTube instance search. We will give you more details on this feature on mid-July when we will publish the 2.3 release.
We are well aware of the shortcomings of PeerTube, especially in the moderation tools area (videos, comments, etc.). And we intend to work on these weaknesses.
This is the last newsletter regarding the PeerTube crowdfunding. We would like to thank you one more time, for allowing us to greatly improve PeerTube, and therefore to promote a more decentralized web. But the journey does not end here: we will continue to work on the software, and there is still a lot to do to fully free up video streaming. But before anything, we'll take a few days off ;)
This list isn't exhaustive and it's possible that we may include other developments, depending on feedback from <a href="https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/labels/Component%3A%20Moderation%20%3Agodmode%3A" target="_blank">the community</a>.

We did not go any further because to favour one technical solution would be to impose, in the code, a political vision of cultural sharing and its financing. All financial solutions are possible and treated equally in PeerTube.
