An Open Source YouTube app for privacy
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.
A long awaited feature is finally here! You can now create and manage your own playlists within FreeTube. Anything currently within your "Saved Videos" will be converted into a Favorites playlist. New videos can be added to this playlist as before however you'll also have the ability to add the video to multiple playlists at a time. Extra features like rearranging videos within a playlist as well as playlist cloning are also included.

This is a small release for now. Mostly fixes the issues that has recent occurred with the Local API. We have a very large release for everyone soon so I hope that everyone looks forward to it.

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.
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.

A while back, Electron, which FreeTube is based on, dropped support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. Because of this, we are forced to do so as well. This release is the last release that will be supporting those operating systems and future versions of FreeTube will not work on those systems either. If you are still using any of these operating systems still, it is highly encouraged that you switch to a different operating system if at all possible.
We are actively looking for new translators! If you happen to know multiple languages and would like to see them added into FreeTube, we would love to have your contributions. If you know a language that FreeTube already supports, you can also contribute by making corrections or by adding missing translations. Regardless of where you stand, feel free to check out our Weblate page to see what can be included. If enough translations have been added, let us know and we'll enable it to be used within FreeTube. Thank you very much to everyone who has translated for us in the past and we look forward to anyone's future contributions.
