Notable changes

• new identicons based avatars (see below)
• redesigned the filtering and sorting on the Explore page, for better use of horizontal space
• improved the iframe embed: matching background color, smarter margin, better footer text look
• upgraded the player and avt to the latest version - fixes rendering of RGB colors recorded on certain terminals (Kitty, WezTerm)
• fixed centering of the logo in embeddable SVG previews

The new identicons avatars are now used by default, replacing previously used gravatar.com. Shout out to @waseigo for his awesome identicon Elixir library.

This change was made to make asciinema server less dependent on 3rd party services. In fact, as of this release, asciinema server doesn't depend on any 3rd party (other than a SMTP server), and is a 100% local and self-contained service.

New DEFAULT_AVATAR configuration variable can be used to select avatar implementation, accepting the following values:

• identicon (default)
• gravatar

Upgrading

If you wish to keep using gravatar.com then set DEFAULT_AVATAR=gravatar environment variable.

Beside that, no manual changes are needed, other than bumping the container image version number as shown here.
