What this brings

This is a big release, bringing lots of new functionality!

Features

• Channel support for videos and audio, including an intuitive chapter's editor, performed by @Yiannistaos through the same PRs
• Bulk actions for user's media which includes the ability to set status, add to playlist, category and tags, set collaborators and much more - #1406 and #1418
• Limits to what media types are allowed and how many files a user can uploade, controlled by new settings NUMBER_OF_MEDIA_USER_CAN_UPLOAD and ALLOWED_MEDIA_UPLOAD_TYPES - #1353
• Whisper speech-to-text integration, disabled by default due to big increase in Docker image dependency, can be enabled via a single variable - #1363
• Record screen and upload recording - #1363
• Users management (available to admins): Approve users, Edit users, set passwords - #1383
• Ability to add custom pages pages through the admin, featuring a WYSIWYG editor -
  #1386

v6.7.1

Feat

• this PR adds a missing migration, due to the upgrade in Django

v6.7.0

FEAT

• allow admins to create HTML pages through the admin dashboard. These pages will appear in the slug that is set
• update Django library

v6.6.0

Feat

• Allow users approval, through variable USERS_NEEDS_TO_BE_APPROVED, (False by default). If set to True, users need to be approved by a manager or administrator before they can log in, otherwise they cannot do anything after logging in other than seeing an "awaiting approval" message.
• improvements on the manage users page (available to managers and administrators), as the ability to add users, change password, and approve (if setting USERS_NEEDS_TO_BE_APPROVED is True)
• additions to the API for manage users (add user, change password, approve user)
• add a setting variable to hide the members link from the sidebar menu

v6.5.2

Feat:

• Add OpenAI's Whisper support for automatic transcription. Only for Docker, not enabled by default since it uses a new image that is much larger than the existing one (400mb base image, 4GB full image)
• Record screen functionality, besides Upload media. Available under upload
• Docker images separation, the main one mediacms:latest is what used to plus there's a new one mediacms:full that includes the dependencies for Whisper. Both use uv instead of pip and they are based in python:3.13.5-slim-bookworm
• add limits as far as max number of media per user (UPLOAD_MAX_FILES_NUMBER)
• add media type identification, only specific files are allowed. Default list is ["video", "audio", "image", "pdf"] and can be edited through setting settings.ALLOWED_MEDIA_UPLOAD_TYPES

Fixes

• show datetime on edit media form
• show message of pending encoding to upload user only
• for user page, show all media not only to author but also editors/managers/admins
