We are pleased to announce the first release candidate preview release of Jellyfin 10.11.0!

This is a preview release, intended for those interested in testing 10.11.0 before it’s final public release. We welcome testers to help find as many bugs as we can before the final release.

As always, please ensure you stop your Jellyfin server and take a full backup before upgrading!

WIP release notes: https://notes.jellyfin.org/v10.11.0_features

This is the first release that uses the new EF Core database mapper. If you’d like to help test this release, please remember to remove all plugins to make debugging logs as easy as possible.

    Media watch status no longer persists on media rename. When you move or rename your media files, previously Jellyfin remembered the watch status based on external IDs alone; now it uses an actual reference to the database entry. This is a transitional change and we are working on a better way to handle that in a future version.

    I hope they do figure out a solution for that soon… Until that’s fixed I’m going to stay on 10.10.7 for a while.

    Important note: This release can only be upgraded to if you’re on 10.7 or later. Make sure to update to 10.10 soon or the process might become more manual.

    Is there a buried lede here? What’s noteworthy about an RC of a minor version release?

      I’m serious, there’s so much lazy posting on Lemmy regarding software releases.

      • no mention of what the software is or does ✔️
      • no mention of what’s interesting about the software or this release. ✔️

      Jellyfin is quite a big name, but still, the pattern is clear.

        We could have a tag for things like this (if tags are a thing on lemmy) or a required prefix, such as "Software release: ".

        I do like to see an announcement for things I use and have slow release schedule.

      Sorry, I didn’t realize some Lemmy clients don’t show cross-post descriptions. I’ll copy paste it below:

        My client showed that to me and I read it. I just imagined myself as someone who doesn’t know what Jellyfin is, and that text didn’t help much.
