Release v0.22.1 Beta
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 It is highly recommended that you upgrade to the latest version of FreeTube ff you are still using an outdated version of FreeTube.
Note
This will be the last release to support macOS 10.15, as Electron v33.0.0 does not support this OS version. MacOS 11 (Big Sur) or later will be required to run future versions of FreeTube.
Summary
This release fixes the playback issues that were occurring on music videos.
Fixes
Bump YouTube.js to 12.2.0 to fix the unexpected token error with music videos on the local API by @absidue in #6343
Known Issues
When using the Local API or the Invidious API it is possible that you will run into issues due to YouTube IP blocks. Please try to use a different Invidious Instance, VPN or proxy when you encounter those issues.

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!

Release v0.20.0 Beta
Ending Support for Windows 7/8/8.1 and macOS 10.13 / 10.14
In order to stay in line with recent updates to Electron, this update drops support for all Windows operating systems below Windows 10 as well as macOS 10.13 / 10.14. These operating systems have been considered end of life for quite a while now and should also be considered a security risk. It is highly recommended that you switch to an alternative operating system if you are still using any of the ones mentioned above.

Full Changelog: v0.19.0-beta...v0.19.1-beta
Release v0.19.0 Beta
General Update
I know it's been a long time since a formal update. I'll try to explain my thoughts regarding this in a later blog post. Despite the silence, there's a wealth of changes in this release and I hope this will make up for the wait.
Local API
Our local API has undergone a massive overhaul. We have switched all local API hooks to use YouTube.js instead of our separate modules for each function. This should hopefully allow us to fix any issues with the local API faster than what we could beforehand. Any relevant module that we have created has been merged into YouTube.js for a more uniformed experience. A massive thank you to @LuanRT for their help and support on YouTube.js.
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 creating a ticket over on our GitHub so that we can look at it.
