v1.0.0 - v1.0.13

14 Releases - Changes not logged on forum. However, they were pretty significant to speed, performance and compatibility.

v1.1.0

[Core] Added playlist caching functionality. Can be turned on in Settings. Will cache playlists for x minutes per client.

[Core] Cleaned up license code to remove legacy instructions.
[Core] Updated Watch Folder to run series multithreaded once again, fixed some issues with matching series.

[Core] Rewritten Users cron to be significantly faster on load balancers, as well as adding the ability to clear desynchronised connections to clean up database while Redis is enabled.
[Core] Added PHP 7.2 alongside PHP 7.4 to allow service owners to switch between them. PHP 7.4 is ~20% faster and well suited for load balancers, PHP 7.2 seems to handle high throughput easier and is better suited for main servers. By default PHP 7.2 will be used on both Main and Load Balancers, you can switch at any time however.
[Core] Added FFMPEG v4.3 as an option. You can change the version used in Settings.

[Ministra] Timezone is checked against correct database to ensure an invalid timezone doesn't cause crashes.

v1.4.1

[Core] Introduced a new FFMPEG binary compiled by myself, using the latest version 4.4 with all previous modules included. Only -f hls is supported, -f segment was removed in v4.4.
[Core] Updated NGINX from v1.19.0 to v1.21.0, protection against CVE-2021-23017 and better connection handling.
[Core] Benchmarked each client-facing PHP script to maximise performance, significant improvements to performance vs previous versions, and far better under heavy load when streams are offline or your service is starting up.
[Core] Reduced execution time on creating a connection to a stream from around 20ms to 10ms, a saving passed on to clients in zap time.
[Core] Modified connection limit behaviour to close related connections when the connection limit is reached. For example, if a line has two connections, one is being watched on an Android App and has been online a while, if another connection is then used on a TV and that user changes channel, it would by default disconnect the oldest connection (Android App). The new behaviour checks for a connection using the same IP and User-Agent first to close that one instead, this means channel hopping on the TV would not affect the XCIPTV app despite that one having the oldest connection. Long explanation, but this should be far better for user experience.
[Core] Compiled igbinary serialize extension to replace the built in PHP versions, seems to improve caching speed overall.
[Core] Fingerprint now works when the stream has a codec other than H264, it will detect the stream codec and match it when transcoding the segment.

[Core] Added subnet fuzzy matching to 2nd IP check, assuming you've enabled the option in Settings.
[Core] Added ability to change default sort for Movies and TV shows to newest first, assuming you have channel ordering set to Bouquet and not Legacy or Manual.

[Core] Modified Watch Folder and Plex Sync bouquet mapping to be more accurate when more than one bouquet is used.

[Admin] Added header statistics visible on every page, updates every second. Can be disabled in Settings.
[Admin] Modified EPG guessing api to extract language from stream title to better match against EPG API. Uses 2 digit code at the end or the beginning of stream name. E.g. "UK: Stream Name" or "Stream Name | UK".
[Admin] Regenerate Cache button now forces a full regen regardless of Update Changes setting.
[Admin] Fixed EPG API language not displaying in stream review.
[Admin] Added Remove Subtitles to Plex and Watch Folder.

[Ministra] Rewritten the authentication system entirely, using PHP sessions where possible or resorting to Authorization header if not supported. Smarter caching, better ability to auth, more reliable overall in theory. Removed legacy authentication and blank authentication as these are no longer supported due to lack of security.
[Ministra] Merged legacy and new portal into a single portal, you can now set the theme to XUI.one to use the new theme or Legacy etc to use the old one.
[Ministra] Added option to keep stream or vod extension in the URL, some old devices may need this to determine filetype.

[Admin] Swapped upload and download speed in header.
[Ministra] Fixed theme and JS files not being added to the update zip.

[Admin] Added Remove NULL Lines to Quick Tools page.
[Admin] Hidden Export as CSV if permissions for database control aren't set for the admin.

v1.4.2

[Core] Recompiled FFMPEG v4.4 and v4.3 allowing both to use -f segment and have a more complete list of libraries. v4.4 is now the recommended default version to use.
[Core] Rewritten on-demand instant-off to work with both Redis and MySQL.
[Core] Added a setting to change the default storing of Stream Errors from WARNINGs to ERRORs only. Use this if you're getting millions of meaningless stream errors.

[Admin] Modified dashboard to show Online servers first.
[Admin] Added send MAG Event to Mass Edit MAG Devices.
[Admin] Modified Download Line function to allow multiple output types, i.e. select Movies and Series and just output them.

[Admin] Fixed duplicates appearing in Stream Rank page.
[Ministra] Added an option for the client to swap between the Modern and Legacy theme. Select the default option for new devices in the Settings page.

[Ministra] Fixed series ordering by date added.
[Admin API] Using -1 as the server ID for start_stream, stop_stream, start_station, stop_station, start_channel, stop_channel, start_episode, stop_episode, start_movie and stop_movie will send the request to all servers.
[Webplayer] Fixed subtitles for MKV videos.

[Core] Recompiled FFMPEG v4.3 and v4.4 with custom code to make progress information work as expected. FFMPEG opens a constant unbroken stream to the progress info page by default which means it only updates when a stream closes. Now it reopens the connection every 10 seconds to send more information.
[Admin] Added binary update option to Servers page that will instruct load balancers to update their PHP, NGINX, FFMPEG, YouTube-dl, GeoIP and GeoISP binaries if updates are available.

[Admin] Added FPS Restart and Threshold to Mass Edit Streams.
[Ministra] Reduced size of MAG portal by combining language files for each theme.
[Ministra] Session will be destroyed and cache removed if authentication fails, allowing next auth attempt to grab data from MySQL instead of using the already existing cache.
