MediaGoblin 0.14.0
The biggest change in this release is the addition of first-class Docker
installation support — see "doc:`docker`" for details. This update also includes
a significant overhaul of the configure/build system to reduce unnecessary
dependency checks and add some new checks. These checks now inform which media
plugins get enabled and flags why others are not. Many thanks to Olivier for the
several years of work and persistence that went into this change. *This is the
initial release with Docker support, so please let us know if you hit any
issues. Our existing installation method will remain the default.*
In addition to this, MediaGoblin now has preliminary support for installation as
an OS package under GNU Guix. See `README-Guix.md` for details on using our Guix
"channel". This has been enabled by significant work to support more recent
versions of some of all our Python dependencies.
We're looking forward to spending time on some more user-facing improvements in
the next release.

MediaGoblin 0.12.1
This patch release fixes a number of Python dependency issues, allows us to
support newer autoconf versions, fixes a few small bugs and improves the
documentation.
This release has been tested on Debian Bullseye (11) and Ubuntu 20.04. Due to a
dependency issue, we unfortunately don't yet support Python 3.10, which
means that Debian Bookworm and Ubuntu 22.04 and Fedora 36 are not yet
supported. This will be addressed in the upcoming version 0.13.0. This will be
the last release to support Python 3.5.

MediaGoblin 0.12.0
This release resolves two significant issues in the Celery backend media
processing. The first was causing processed media to be marked as failed and the
second was inhibiting useful error messages. We've also resolved installation
issues caused by deprecated upstream code in the Werkzeug and jsonschema
libraries.
We've added provisional `gmg serve` and `gmg celery` commands to simplify
deployment. These commands may change in the future and are not yet recommended
in the deployment documentation. If your deployment is already running smoothly,
there's no reason to switch at this stage.
Please note that installation currently fails on Debian Testing (Bookworm) and
Arch Linux at `./configure`. These issues appear to be related to versions of
autoconf > 2.69. We currently recommend deployment on Debian Bullseye and
Fedora 33.
