v1.1.0

🎉 the first Concinnity minor release, just before 2026! Happy holidays and a happy new year to all! 🎉

• Introducing user avatars! These can be changed from the settings page, stored in the AVIF format (didn't know JXL was gonna be back in vogue in 2026 :/), and are shown in chat messages and the user profile.
• We now support MariaDB and PostgreSQL equally for the backend 🎊 especially since my production deployment uses MariaDB.
• Added support for changing username and email from the settings page.
• Fixed #23 by adding support for changing the source of a video file, so you can now play remote files from a local source, and vice versa.
• You can change the video source at any time from the video settings menu, without disturbing others in the room or reloading the page.
• Fixed an XSS vulnerability present in chat messages.
• Various other bug fixes and UI improvements 🐛

v1.0.1

🎉 First patch release to Concinnity v1.0, this lays a lot of groundwork for the upcoming v1.1 version!

• Support for automatic PiP was implemented, fixing #37 (although, I haven't been able to coerce Chrome into making it work :/)
• An account dashboard was added, paving the way for #31 to be completed.
• The backend can now be run with the --upgrade flag to run upgrades on launch.
• CSS sizes have seen considerable changes as part of #38, fixing issues with different system font sizes.
• Reconnects now have exponential backoff and live countdowns.
• Bug fixes have been pursued for various issues:
  • Video keyboard controls are no longer broken on Firefox, fixing #35
  • Reconnects are now silent if possible, and chat is no longer broken when reconnecting.
  • Subtitles are now guaranteed to be displayed in the video player when enabled, fixing #36
  • WebVTT subtitles are no longer broken.
  • A timeout is now implemented on the frontend, failing which the frontend will error and reconnect.
    The browser should handle this, but Chrome/Linux doesn't seem to handle switching networks well.
  • Messages are no longer duplicated upon reconnecting.
  • Reconnects are no longer attempted if a room is not found.
