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>.
This new release includes many other improvements. You can see the complete list (in English) on <a href="https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md" target="_blank">https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md</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.

This new video report window now includes a checklist of possible reasons for the report and offers you a free writing field to specify your report if necessary.
This v2 adds <strong>HTML support (on top of text mode) in emails</strong> sent by PeerTube, making them less austere and avoiding bugs where links would get shortened.
We have chosen to do so as follows: on the one hand we will work primarily in the coming months to improve these tools within PeerTube itself (in the <i>core</i> of the software). On the other hand, we will also focus, in parallel, a large part of PeerTube's development effort during 2019 on the integration of a plugin system, which can be developed by the communities.
This v3.1 also changes the way transcoding tasks are managed. Before, and for each instance, transcoding occured chronologically as users were uploading videos. Thus when a video maker was uploading several videos in a row, he prevented video transcoding from other users of the instance. Therefore we have <strong>modified the priority management system for these transcoding jobs</strong> so that when a user upload several files at the same time, the transcoding of some of his videos is de-prioritized (they are on standby) if another user upload a file. In other words, administrators can give an higher priority to optimize jobs and can decrease priority of transcoding jobs depending on the amount of videos uploaded by the user in the last 7 days. This prevents one single user from blocking other people's contents' uplaods: it's more fair. Besides, administrators can now see the progress of video transcoding in the list of on-going jobs on their instance.
This version also includes a notification system that allows users to be informed (on the web interface or through email) when their video is commented, when someone mention them, when one of their subscriptions has published a new video, etc.
Thus, it is now possible to authenticate users via an external server (OpenID or SAMLv2 compatible) or via an LDAP directory. This work was made possible thanks to funding from the <em>"Direction du Numérique pour l'Éducation du Ministère de l'Éducation et de la Jeunesse" (France)</em>.
