10.8.0 Alpha 5

We're pleased to announce the fifth (but really fourth) Alpha pre-release of our upcoming 10.8.0 version. This release is built right from our Master branch as of the time of this tag creation. This release is functionally identical to "Alpha 4" but with a CI fix that necessitated a PR and new tag.

Package downloads will be available on the main downloads page, under the "Next Stable Pre-Releases (10.8.0)" link for your respective platform: https://repo.jellyfin.org/releases/server/

Docker images will be up with the tag 10.8.0-alpha5.

NOTE: This release includes Tonemapping HWA improvements. To get the newer improvements, you must be running jellyfin-ffmpeg version 4.4.1! It can be downloaded from the various repository locations shown above.

NOTE: This in an alpha release. We do not recommend running this release on your production, user-facing servers if you don't want to deal with user complaints. Don't forget to take a full backup of your instances before upgrading, just in case!

NOTE: Due to CI and versioning limitations, the actual running server version and packages (e.g. .debs) will simply read "10.8.0". Please be diligent in keeping track of exactly what pre-release version(s) you have installed, especially for portable-type installs!
