The channel data storage system has been refactored a bit. For compatibility, the default remains to store JSON objects for each channel in the chandump folder, however there is now also the option of storing channel data in the database. You can take advantage of this by setting channel-storage: type: 'database' in your config.yaml.
- In order to migrate existing channel data from the chandump files to the database, run node lib/channel-storage/migrate.js.
The database storage method uses foreign keys to associate the channel data with the corresponding row in the channels table. This requires that the tables be stored using the InnoDB engine rather than MyISAM. If your CyTube tables defaulted to MyISAM, you can fix them by running
```
ALTER TABLE `channels` ENGINE = InnoDB;
```

CyTube is now transpiled with babel to allow the use of ES6/ES2015 features. All source files have been moved from lib to src.
Running npm install or npm run postinstall will prompt you to build from src to lib.
Running npm run build-server will run the build script without any prompts.
After updating with git pull, you should run npm install or npm run build-server in order to rebuild after the changes.

CyTube now supports subtitles for Google Drive videos. In order to take advantage of this, you must upgrade mediaquery by running npm install cytube/mediaquery. Subtitles are cached in the google-drive-subtitles folder.

CyTube and CyTube/mediaquery have both been updated to use calzoneman/status-message-polyfill to polyfill res.statusMessage on older versions of node (e.g., v0.10). After pulling, run npm install to update this dependency. This fixes an issue where HTTP status messages from mediaquery were reported as undefined, and removes the need for manually looking up status messages in lib/ffmpeg.js.

As part of the video player rewrite, Google Drive and Google+ metadata lookups are now offloaded to CyTube/mediaquery. After pulling the new changes, run npm install or npm update to update the mediaquery dependency.
www/js/player.js is now built from the CoffeeScript source files in the player/ directory. Instead of modifying it directly, modify the relevant player implementations in player/ and run npm run build-player (or node build-player.js) to generate www/js/player.js.
Also as part of the video player rewrite, the schema for custom embeds changed so any custom embeds stored in the channel_libraries table need to be updated. The automatic upgrade script will convert any custom embeds that are parseable (i.e., not truncated by the width of the id field using the old format) and will delete the rest (you may see a lot of WARNING: unable to convert xxx messages-- this is normal). Custom embeds in channel playlists in the chandumps will be converted when the channel is loaded.
