Release v0.23.0 Beta
Summary
This release comes with dozens of bug fixes, new player enhancements, user experience improvements, performance improvements, and features that we were able to implement thanks to the help of our users and new contributors. We hope that the scale of this update and its changes properly reflects our dedication to making FreeTube the best free and open source app it can be.
We would also like to thank all the translators that make FreeTube more accessible to all of our users!
Note
The setting Export Playlists For Older FreeTube Versions will be deprecated in v0.24.0. This setting was introduced in v0.20.0 when we launched our full-fledged User Playlists. This allowed users to export their playlists into one big playlist and import the file into FreeTube versions older than v0.20.0. This setting is being deprecated because we don't recommend sticking with older versions of FreeTube. It is highly recommended that you upgrade to the latest version of FreeTube if you are still using an outdated version of FreeTube.
Note
MacOS 10.15 is no longer supported, as Electron v33.0.0 does not support this OS version. MacOS 11 (Big Sur) or later is required to run FreeTube going forward.

Release v0.22.0 Beta
Summary
Our Video Player has undergone a massive overhaul. We have switched from video.js to shaka-player. This allows us to add allot of new features and fix many issues. Notably, it's now possible to watch higher quality video streams. A massive thank you to @absidue for their help and support on this!
This is a very large change to how we handle things. If you happen to see anything that seems broken compared to the last release, please consider commenting about it in the thread below so that we can look at it.
For users hoping to import their subscriptions from YouTube, the process should be much quicker and a lot smoother since we no longer fetch thumbnail information when importing from YouTube. The channel thumbnails in the sidebar will be populated as you navigate around the app.
We would also like to thank all the translators that make FreeTube more accessible to all of our users!
