v3.3.0

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Important: v3.2.0 introduced a pg_dump export bug in the auto upgrade script. v3.2.1 fixed this bug. To upgrade from v3.2.0:
  • You can upgrade manually https://docs.joinpeertube.org/install-any-os?id=manually
  • Or you can apply the changes introduced in this commit: 86dc0b9 and then use the auto upgrade script
• Important: Due to a bug in ffmpeg, PeerTube is not compatible with ffmpeg 4.4. See #3990

Maintenance

• Increase max image/caption/torrent upload size to 4MB. You need to update your nginx configuration to handle this change
• Increase fetcher job concurrency to 3
