We are pleased to announce the first release candidate preview release of Jellyfin 10.11.0!
This is a preview release, intended for those interested in testing 10.11.0 before it’s final public release. We welcome testers to help find as many bugs as we can before the final release.
As always, please ensure you stop your Jellyfin server and take a full backup before upgrading!
WIP release notes: https://notes.jellyfin.org/v10.11.0_features
This is the first release that uses the new EF Core database mapper. If you’d like to help test this release, please remember to remove all plugins to make debugging logs as easy as possible.
I’ll be honest, Im not sure why theyre not releasing this as 11.x.
This seems to be a major update. From what I can tell there are API changes, plugins might not work, your entire db is converted to another format, etc.
I’m excited for it and thankful for all the work- just seems so big that it should be tagged 11.0.0
I kinda agree here. https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/contributing/release-procedure/
Claims to follow semantic versioning, explicitly mentioning changes to plugin APIs as reasoning for a new major version.
Their reasoning is literally the second sentence on that page.
Any 10.Y.Z release is cleanup and can include breaking changes. That’s been the case for 10.9 and 10.10 already btw.
Its right there at the link you posted.
