Since no new tags are created for releases the version has been frozen for some
time, with only the commit hash changing.
Versions based on the latest commit date make it much easier to identify them.
Error handling has been reworked to always go through the new `error_template`,
`error_json` and `error_atom` macros.
They all accept a status code followed by a string message or an exception
object. `error_json` accepts a hash with additional fields as third argument.
If the second argument is an exception a backtrace will be printed, if it is a
string only the string is printed. Since up till now only the exception message
was printed a new `InfoException` class was added for situations where no
backtrace is intended but a string cannot be used.
`error_template` with a string message automatically localizes the message.
Missing error translations have been collected in https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/1497
`error_json` with a string message does not localize the message. This is the
same as previous behavior. If translations are desired for `error_json` they
can be added easily but those error messages have not been collected yet.
Uncaught exceptions previously only printed a generic message ("Looks like
you've found a bug in Invidious. [...]"). They still print that message
but now also include a backtrace.
Try to read app config from the "INVIDIOUS_CONFIG" environment variable.
If the variable is undefined, read config from config.yml file as before.

Any parameters given in ¶ms=... are appended to /watch URLs. This
allows e.g. passing &raw=1&listen=1 to a playlist of music and use an
rss reader like newsboat as a media player, like so:
https://invidio.us/feed/playlist/XXX?params=%26raw%3D1%listen%3D1
All three feeds--channels, playlists, subscriptions--are supported.
* shard: update to crystal 0.31.0
Additionally, no longer use the Crystal "markdown" library which has
been removed from the Crystal stdlib in version 0.31.0.
See https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/pull/8115.
Also fix some deprecation warnings using the following commands:
find . \( -type d -name .git -prune \) -o -type f -exec sed -i 's/URI\.escape/URI\.encode_www_form/g' "{}" \;
find . \( -type d -name .git -prune \) -o -type f -exec sed -i 's/URI\.unescape/URI\.decode_www_form/g' "{}" \;
sed -i 's/while \%pull\.kind \!\= \:end_object/until \%pull\.kind\.end_object\?/g' src/invidious/helpers/patch_mapping.cr
* Add prefers-color-scheme support
This should fix <https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/559>.
The cookie storage format has been changed from boolean
("true"/"false") to tri-state ("dark"/"light"/""), so that users
without a cookie set will get dark mode if they have enabled the dark
theme in their operating system. The code for handling the cookie
state, along with the user's operating system theme, has been factored
out into a new function `update_mode`, which is called both at window
load and at the "storage" event listener, because the "storage" event
listener is only trigerred when a change is made to the localStorage
from another tab/window (for more info - see
<https://stackoverflow.com/a/4679754>).
