Looking at the article, I can't help but to find the summary of the past releases to be really nice:

  PeerTube v1 (Oct. 2018) allows you to create a video platform with federation, peer-to-peer streaming, redundancy, search tools and multilingual interface.
  PeerTube v2 (Nov 2019) brings notifications, playlists and plugins.
  PeerTube v3 (Jan. 2021) adds federated search, live and peer-to-peer streaming.
  PeerTube v4 (Dec. 2021) allows to customise each platform’s homepage, to sort and filter displayed videos, and to manage them more easily.
Kind of makes me wish most software projects had summaries of changelogs like that. For example, for versions of PostgreSQL/MySQL/React/Vue/Java/.NET or anything else - just to see what the most notable features have been in the releases over the years.

Also, PeerTube itself is pretty nice, I'm still hosting v4 for my own needs and use it as a solution for backing up and encoding stream VODs from Twitch. Might eventually get a YouTube account, but still keep it as a backup just to minimize the risk of losing the videos, though storing hours of them does definitely take up some space on my server's HDDs, backups of those included.
