+# TypeType 1.8.1
+
+TypeType 1.8.1 focuses on making playback more dependable across YouTube, BiliBili and NicoNico, improving mobile controls, strengthening profiles and notifications, making recommendations service-aware, and simplifying self-hosting.
+
+## Reddit and Lemmy
+
+We are very sad to announce that Reddit has banned the TypeType community! We are still trying to understand why.
+
+It is frustrating to lose a place where people shared feedback, ideas, translations, bug reports and support for one another. We are truly grateful to everyone who helped make that community useful and welcoming.
+
+We are moving the TypeType community to Lemmy:
+
+[Join the TypeType community on Lemmy](https://blorp.lemmy.zip/home/c/TypeType@lemmy.zip)
+
+We hope Lemmy gives TypeType a much better welcome!
+
+Lemmy matters because federation keeps a community connected across instances instead of tying it to a single platform. We want TypeType to have a more independent, open and durable community space.
+
+Please join us, contribute and share. Every test, translation, report, conversation and contribution helps keep this project alive. We hope to see you there!
+
+## Playback and Providers
+
+- Recover stalled and evicted SABR segments instead of leaving playback stuck.
+- Improve paused Firefox seeks and isolate WebKit media transitions.
+- Preserve the exact playback position across provider changes and source reloads.
+- Isolate HLS request generations so stale Chromium requests cannot overwrite current playback.
+- Align HLS buffering with the MSE player and release provider resources between videos.
+- Keep mobile and compact player controls stable, including horizontal volume sliders.
+- Restore volume and cinema-mode state reliably after provider initialization.
+- Support custom audio SponsorBlock sliders correctly.
+- Fix BiliBili playback failures reported in [#262](https://github.com/TypeType-Video/TypeType/issues/262).
+- Improve BiliBili audio selection, bullet comments, media handles, range caching and connection reuse.
+- Improve NicoNico playback reloads, media-handle routing and segment caching.
+- Keep provider media behind expiring opaque handles.
+- Preserve request cancellation during provider playback.
+- Update TypeType-Player to MSE `0.1.60`.
+- Refresh the PipePipeExtractor integration.
+
+## Profiles, Search and Notifications
+
+- Add account profiles and profile switching, addressing the workflow tracked in [#234](https://github.com/TypeType-Video/TypeType/issues/234).
+- Add avatar support and isolated profile data.
+- Bind authentication and service notifications to the active profile.
+- Add service-aware search and recommendations so each provider receives relevant content.
+- Add a panoramic search experience on desktop and mobile.
+- Improve playback-progress loading with batch lookups.
+- Add RSS video thumbnails.
+- Improve notification delivery and preserve notification state during feed refreshes.
+
+## Watch Experience and Localization
+
+- Improve the floating and compact players with fullscreen and return controls.
+- Keep player state stable while profile data refreshes.
+- Improve mobile layouts and translated-label handling.
+- Continue improving the English, French and German interface.
+- Add a multilingual Lemmy announcement with a permanent dismissal option.
+
+## Performance and Self-Hosting
+
+- Bound playback, retry and server cache memory.
+- Reduce unnecessary BiliBili lookups and reuse range connections.
+- Parallelize provider media mapping while preserving cancellation.
+- Avoid redundant settings writes and defer player initialization until playback is needed.
+- Improve Downloader shutdown, job snapshots and artifact persistence.
+- Update Downloader to `1.8.1`.
+- Consolidate stack initialization into one short-lived `typetype-init` service, advancing the work tracked in [#254](https://github.com/TypeType-Video/TypeType/issues/254).
+- Automate secret generation, Garage configuration and Downloader database setup.
+- Make service URLs configurable, continuing the work tracked in [#261](https://github.com/TypeType-Video/TypeType/issues/261).
+- Fix hardcoded Nginx service routing from [#251](https://github.com/TypeType-Video/TypeType/issues/251).
+- Update Garage to `2.4.1`.
+
+## Issues Fixed in This Dev Line
+
+- [#262](https://github.com/TypeType-Video/TypeType/issues/262): BiliBili videos could not be played.
+- [#251](https://github.com/TypeType-Video/TypeType/issues/251): Nginx used hardcoded `dockerdns` routing.
