Today, we're excited to share a brand-new gameplay preview from our upcoming South Dakota DLC for American Truck Simulator! Get a closer look at some of the beautiful roads, landmarks, and industries our map team has been recreating.
In the gameplay preview below, you'll follow a journey that begins in the Black Hills before passing by the scenic Pactola Lake and crossing the Spring Creek Memorial Bridge. Along the way, we'll drive through several settlements, including the beautiful city of Hot Springs and part of the historic town of Deadwood, before completing our delivery at a wood processing depot.
This route is just a small preview of what South Dakota has to offer, featuring winding mountain roads, charming communities, and diverse scenery. Whether you're taking in the views or making deliveries across the state, there's plenty to discover behind the wheel.
We hope you enjoy this gameplay preview and the stunning scenery South Dakota has to offer. As always, please keep in mind that everything you see is still a work in progress and subject to change during development.
This new alpha build introduces 8 new effects, fixes some crashes and other glitches, fixes compatibility with some old plugins, and adds some debugging options to assist with the WINE effort.
The new effects will be discussed more in the final release notes for 5.2, when the time comes, but here are some previews for now. Each new effect is also available for plugins to use in their Direct2D effect graphs.
Original Image
Linocut
Mosaic
Pointillism
Stained Glass
Ordered Dither
Spherize (This isn’t actually a very good image to use for showcasing this effect. I’ll have a better example for the final release notes.)
Waves
Here are several examples for this one, which has many different modes you can experiment with:
Fixed a crash when trying to use horizontal scrolling in the Unsaved Changes dialog
Fixed image tabs rendering with a black background
Fixed compatibility with the legacy plugins “ImPDF Open/Save”, “Chop Up And Save,” and “TR’s Paste Frame”
Fixed the UI setting “Auto-select nearest visible layer after hiding a layer” (it was doing nothing)
Optimized performance of render target buffer clearing when Advanced Color is not enabled
Fixed some RNG in the Frosted Glass effect
Added extension methods on IFileTypesServiceFactory for plugin developers: LoadFileAsDocument, TryLoadFileAsDocument, LoadFileAsBitmap, and TryLoadFileAsBitmap.
Fixed the input assignments of the Direct2D DisplacementMapEffect wrapper (it was assigning “input” to “displacement”)
Removed the /disableCompositionSwapChain command-line parameter
Added the following command-line parameters to assist with the WINE effort: /disableUIAnimation, /disableComposition, /disableWin11DisplayInformation, and /wine (which is equivalent to the previous 3 together)
AddedControlInfoPropertyNames.AutoPopulateFileTypes, which when set to true on a FileChooser-typed property will cause it to be auto-populated with all FileTypes (built-ins and plugins) (thanks @toe_head2001!)
Download and Install
This build is available via the built-in updater as long as you have opted-in to pre-release updates.

You can also use the links below to download an offline installer or portable ZIP.
You can also download the installer here (for any supported CPU and OS), which is also where you can find downloads for offline installers, portable ZIPs, and deployable MSIs.
We are pleased to announce the fifth release candidate preview release of Jellyfin 12.0!
This is a preview release, intended for those interested in testing 12.0 before it's final public release. We welcome testers to help find as many bugs as we can before the final release.
As always, please ensure you stop your Jellyfin server and take a full backup before upgrading!
A note about versioning
Starting with this release, we are dropping the preceding 10. from our versioning. Thus, 10.11.x -> [10.]12.x = 12.x. The reason is simple: at this point in the project, we don't envision a hard break in the API like we planned way back in the early days, and this version scheme was causing a lot of confusion amongst users about what a "major" release was. For more information, please see the RC1 release notes.
What's new?
The main goal of this release has been performance. 10.11.0 dropped a major backend rewrite, and while it was broadly functional, it had a lot of rough edges. This release seeks to polish out most of those rough edges and bring better performance to all users.
Note: You must be on Jellyfin 10.10.7+ or 10.11.x (ideally, 10.11.11) before upgrading! If you are not, the upgrade will fail. Ensure you upgrade to one of these versions first!
Note: The initial load of Jellyfin 12.x will run a few migrations and will take several minutes. Please be patient and do not interrupt the process. You can leverage the (newly improved!) startup UI on your local network to see specific progress, or off-network to see general progress, by visiting the server URL in your web browser during startup.
Note: If you install the RC, you should disable all external plugins and reinstall using the unstable plugin repository, or plugins may fail to load and cause unintended side effects.
Installing
This preview release is distributed in all our traditional forms, though not automatically via our Apt repository or latest tag.
For all non-Docker environments, you can find the files for manual download in our repository by selecting "Stable Preview" for your OS.
For Docker, you can pull the 12.0-rc5 or preview tags.

After upgrade, you need to run php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate (or equivalent) as webserver user after upgrade.. If you are running a docker container, use sudo docker exec --user=www-data partdb php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate, or sudo -E inside the docker container, to ensure that the migrations are applied to the correct database.
Important
Since this version Part-DB can enable foreign key checks for SQLite: it is recommend to do this, but it requires some manual intervention. See this announcement on how to do it: #1486
Note
If you are using Part-DB it would be helpful if you fill out this short survey on your usage of Part-DB (Google Forms): https://forms.gle/Q15twx3YYq3qCNfe8
New Features
Added OAuth server capability, for easy and automatic API access to Part-DB without the need to generate an API token by hand. An application can redirect to an Part-DB page, where an user can authorise the access of the external application. This feauture is opt-in and requires some setup by hand.
With the OAuth server capability, Part-DB can now be used as an remote MCP connector for AI applications like claude.ai. Just add a custom connector with your Part-DB url, and you can authorize the access via one click. No need for fiddeling with API tokens or config files
Allow to enable foreign key checking for sqlite via an env variable. It is recommended to do this, however it requires some manual intervention.
