First release candidate for the 10.3.0 release.

This release will be deleted after the next release.

WARNING: This release makes non-backwards-compatible changes to the users.db database (#870). Ensure you take a backup of this database (with Jellyfin stopped) before upgrading if you wish to revert back to an earlier release.

WARNING: This release requires Windows users move the data directory from %APPDATA%\jellyfin to %LOCALAPPDATA\jellyfin (#851). This will be automatic on release.

Major features

• Uses the Kestrel web server instead of the previous homebrew web server.
• The insecure authentication system has been revamped to store passwords more securely and enable future external authentication.
• Individual user passwords can be reset without affecting other users.
• A mostly-Webpack-compatible WebUI.
• More translations.
• Numerous small bugfixes around both the front- and back-end.

Changelog based on referenced pull requests

• Rebranding completed - new colors, new logo, fixed links.
• Extensive code cleanup, should probably have some minor performance improvements. Also lots of warnings got fixed.
• Switched to Serilog for logging, now logs should be more readable and less of a bottleneck (they're written asyncronously now). Logging is now configurable and goes to proper /var/log/jellyfin for Debian packages.
• Removed lots of remaining phoning home (includes check for update and for news) which cluttered logs with errors. Reduced verbosity of default ffmpeg logging.
• Fixed support for clients requesting AAC to be downsampled to stereo from 5.1, needed to support some Chromecast use cases.
• Fixed XmlTv access error, removed Premiere nag in XmlTv access.
• Re-enabled UDP auto-discovery of Jellyfin server by clients that support that on LAN; added proper license for the project used for this auto-discovery.
• Fixed library access and device list access by a non-admin user if admin user previously didn't visit the pages.
• Stopped downloading fonts during runtime.
• Default theme is set to dark for admin pages and first setup.
• Fixed some DLNA casting issues.
• Docker images now bundle ffmpeg 4.0.3 and are made smaller and faster to rebuild.
• Dropped ImageMagick and Drawing.Net in favor of leaving only Skia for image processing. Note: so far no Skia dotnet bindings exist for ARM.
• Language files were cleaned of unused strings; Danish translation was improved.
• SMB support in application was removed - Jellyfin won't load files over SMB protocol, one should properly mount a share using OS mechanism instead.
• Removed Connect in UI as it requires centralized service which Jellyfin doesn't intend to implement.
• Debian source tarballs are made smaller.
• Documentation moved to https://jellyfin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
