Wrap-up

This release brings the long awaited feature of supporting multiple audio tracks in a video, some bug fixes and UX improvements, and many other things primarily oriented to self-hosting instances, and developers using the API.

The Community channel tab has been replaced by Posts in light of YouTube changes, but the URL remains the same.

Tamil is now available as an interface language

Automatic instance redirects will no longer have the chance to annoyingly redirect to the same instance you're on.

Due to their requirements for video playback, Invidious will now log warning messages when either inv-sig-helper, po_token or visitor_data is not configured

User notifications are now batched for each channel

The minimum Crystal version supported by Invidious now 1.12.0
