[Juliusz Chroboczek]

Dear all,

Galene-0.4.1 is available by doing

    git clone -b galene-0.4.1 https://github.com/jech/galene

For more information about the Galene videoconferencing server, please see

  https://galene.org

Since Galene-0.5 is most likely going to depend on Go 1.15, this is an
interim release for people stuck with older versions of the Go compiler.


BREAKING CHANGES
****************

The `data/passwd` file no longer exists.  Global administrators are now
configured in `data/config.json`.  Please see the README for details.

The `-redirect` flag no longer exists.  The canonical host name is now
configured in `data/config.json`.  Please see the README for details.

The group URL is now `/group/name/` with a trailing slash.  There is
a redirect from the old URL, so your users should not notice a change.


The full changelog follows.

4 November 2021: Galène 0.4.1

  * Create a new file data/config.json with global configuration.
  * Remove data/passwd and the -redirect option with entries in config.json;
    these are incompatible changes.
  * Change the group URL from /group/name to /group/name/, which allows
    using relative links.  The old URL is redirected to the new one.
  * Extend the protocol with the ability to consult the group status before
    joining; this allows using the group's displayName before the user has
    logged in, and will be required for new authorisation schemes.
  * Allow scrolling of the login dialog, useful on small devices.
  * Fixed a typo that prevented the group name from being displayed.
  * Made failed videos more visible.
  * No longer attempt to save passwords in browser JavaScript, it's
    insecure and not very useful.
