This update consists of a handful of changes, both user-facing and behind the scenes.
Lots of localization changes, both in how they work across the web application, and adding more support for them. So more places should show more languages.
The backend refactor continues with more splitting things off into standalone data repositories and services.
Higher bitrates can now be selected in the video encoding settings.
There's a new webhook that fires when you get a new Fediverse follower.

Upgrade instructions from 0.2.3
Stop the service from running. If you're using a pre-installed image through a hosting provider, or setup Owncast to run under systemd you can probably just run systemctl stop owncast.
Change to the directory where Owncast is installed on your server.
If you’ve customized your web interface in any way you will want to back up the files you’ve changed or customized.
Re-run the installer as the user you run Owncast under. For example if you are running owncast as the user "owncast": su -c "curl https://owncast.online/install.sh |bash" owncast
Restart the service. If you're running under systemd systemctl start owncast.
