Changed

• Minor housekeeping:

  • No more breaking changes when editing the serverless.yml file
• Ability to delete (new) comments on videos (#2)
• Ability to edit tags after a video has been created
• Improved security checks when adding and deleting users and tags

Changed

• Sidebar made smaller and top banner made completely white to improve the overall aesthetic
• Process for adding and deleting users improved
• Process for adding and deleting tags improved
• README significantly shortened and simplified
• Major refactor of the backend to make way for better testing and future development

v1.1.3

[1.1.3] - 2022-01-29

Changed

• README updated so that users are not instructed to install the latest version of Serverless Framework, which will now default to the newly released v3 which is not yet supported by the project. Instead, the latest v2 release (v2.72.0) - i.e. the latest version without breaking changes - has been specified.

v1.1.2

[1.1.2] - 2021-12-29

Changed

• Minor changes to the README to improve readability.

Fixed

• Re-applied the code which preserves a video's aspect ratio when generating thumbnails for it.

v1.1.1

[1.1.1] - 2021-12-29

Fixed

• A potential issue with the Lambda for generating thumbnails. Each time a video is uploaded the Lambda downloads the video into /tmp/. However, the Lambda assumed that /tmp/ would be empty each time it is called, which cannot be guaranteed as files from previous invocations can sometimes remain in temp storage. This fix makes the Lambda wipe the /tmp/ folder before processing a new video.
• Minor code refactoring

v1.1.0

[1.1.0] - 2021-06-24

Changed

• Thumbnails are no longer hardcoded at 80x140px. Instead, the aspect ratio of the video is preserved whilst maintaining the height of the thumbnails at 140px. They will be however wide they need to be to preserve the aspect ratio of the video they are made from.
• Updated README.md to remove the mention of the thumbnail issue
