Jellyfin 12

After several beta and RC versions, Jellyfin 12 was released this Monday (7th). This is the server application, which other devices access to display stored videos, music, and other digital media. It also comes with a client accessible via the web. The versioning scheme has changed, and this new release comes with a handful of breaking changes and pre-installation precautions. It’s well worth reading the full release announcement — it’s in English, but an automatic translation should do the job. All these hurdles will pay off in plenty of fixes and improvements. Among the visible ones, notable additions include support for multiple versions of the same episode, improvements to digital books and comics and their recommendations, support for plugins that expand search functionality, and the modern layout becoming the new default. The changelog is really long.
