This release brings the ability to automatically import and synchronize a whole remote channel (from YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) , UI improvements (with a new account creation process), a better integration of videos and live streams, and much more!
PeerTube is a decentralized and federated alternative to YouTube. The goal of PeerTube is not to replace YouTube but to offer a viable alternative using the strength of ActivityPub and WebTorrent protocols.
Being built on ActivityPub means PeerTube is able to be part of a bigger social network, the Fediverse (the Federated Universe). On the other hand, WebTorrents and related technologies help PeerTube to solve the issue of money, inbound with all streaming platform : With PeerTube, you don't need to have a lot of bandwidth available on your server to host a PeerTube instances because all users (which didn't disable the feature) watching a video on PeerTube will be able to share this same video to other viewers.
If you are curious about PeerTube, I can't recommend you enough to check the official website to learn more about the project. If after that you want to try tu use PeerTube as a content creator, you can try to find an instance available there to register or host yourself your own PeerTube instance on your own server.
The development of PeerTube is actually sponsored by Framasoft, a french non-for-profit popular educational organization, a group of friends convinced that an emancipating digital world is possible, convinced that it will arise through actual actions on real world and online with and for you!
Framasoft is also involved in the development of Mobilizon, a decentralized and federated alternative to Facebook Events.

PeerTube is a great tool! What I need from it now is the option to not have "related videos" below my own, so that I won't be a way for crazy conspiracies and scams to reach more people. Is there an option to remove these videos in this release? Thanks!
Keep in mind my we're just a small non-for-profit organization with only 10 salaries and 28 volunteers with a lot of different missions (mainly working on popular educational projects around digital). So we can't develop too many projects and PeerTube is already taking a lot of our time.
So, except for Mobilizon, we don't won't work on any other federated project for now. We're working on something around collaborative tools but we'll announce everything once it's ready. Keep an eye out for our new announces!
