v3.11 🫎

🟡 This release requires you to manually rebuild the search index with tobira search-index rebuild! If you are immediately updating to v3.13 or later, you don't have to, as the index will be rebuild automatically then.

User-facing changes

• Add the option to upload thumbnails when uploading videos #1599

Changes primarily for admins

• Add opt-in feature to authorize static files via JWTs #1602
  • This finally allows you to keep Opencast's static file authorization enabled. You do need to install octoka on your Opencast presentation nodes though (or manually configure Opencast in a special way, which is not recommended).
  • This feature is still opt-in as we still need to evaluate it to see if any problems pop up during real usage. If you use this, please let us know about your experiences with it!
  • Enable it via auth.auth_static_files in the config
• Stop generating docs for 1.x and 2.x except their last release #1606
• Update dependencies #1608
