  "textContent": "Features\n\nMajor upgrade for views\n\nViews now support loading data for all time, not a max of the last 30 days\nViews now support specifying a content type:\nStandard (the default), which shows articles and longform videos\nVideos\nShorts\nAll\nViews now support a handful of different layouts:\nList (the default)\nGrid\nLarge list (large thumbnails + images)\nLarge grid\n\nMuch better support for shorts\n\nShorts are not included in views by default, but can be opted into for specific views\nViewing a list of shorts shows back and forward buttons for easy navigation\n\nServer-driven view filtering\n\nView filtering has been primarily client-side up until this point, but has been changed to be server-side. This should allow for more predictable performance, and prevent crashes or weird edge cases when working with large item lists.\n\nImprovements\n\nMore intelligent data loading\n\nSerial now only loads the minimal amount of data to render the first page, then loads in additional data afterwards. This greatly lowers the time to when Serial is ready to use.\n\nOther changes\n\nThe \"Inbox\" view is now the \"Uncategorized\" view to better reflect what content it contains\nSelf-hosted versions of Serial will now not include the welcome page, and instead drop the user straight at the auth screen",
