This is the third release of Art Menagerie!

Highlights:

• YouTube video embed support.
• Default robots.txt blocks known AI crawlers (that obey this file).
• Default robots.txt allows search engines to discover the website.
• Favicon created from your site logo.

Future Notice: As mentioned in the previous release, there may be breaking changes to watermarks coming. Having a default position is somewhat awkward and needs a bit of work, so I may need to break this and require watermarks to be set per-image.

This project is still in the early stages, which is why it is released with the alpha tag.

If you want to see what is on my mind for the future, check out the TODO wiki page. Items on the TODO page are ideas only.

Feedback, suggestions, and bug reports are greatly appreciated 💜

(I am still considering enabling the Forum feature, but I will need to enable email support.)

• Posts can not embed YouTube videos as media. Thumbnails are fetched from YouTube if a thumbnail is not already set. Aspect ratio can be set for horizontal (16:9), vertical (9:16), or square (1:1) videos. Note that videos will not play in link previews. 34710d88b1 + 45943483d3
