Stream scheduling

Streams can now be scheduled, by setting a cron expression in stream settings. A scheduled stream is a good way to inform the audience about stream's next start time. Scheduled streams are displayed on user profile in the "Upcoming streams" section, presenting a countdown timer both on the thumbnail and on the stream page (below the player).

The new time zone setting in user account has been added to support this feature.

New "Render bold text with bright colors" option

The new boldIsBright option of recently released asciinema player 3.14.0 has been surfaced via a checkbox on user/recording/stream settings pages. It allows enabling boldIsBright in the player, which renders bold text in bright colors. This is off by default as modern terminal emulators also default to off.

Login link display in admin panel

The user page in admin panel now displays a short-lived login link for a given user. This is particularly useful for non-public single-user instances, allowing easy login without setting up SMTP.

Upgrading

No manual changes needed other than bumping the container image version number as shown here.
