We're happy to announce Tubes Booster 1.2026.8. This release brings a new Notifications Center, automatic system alerts, a smarter one-click update and important security improvements. We recommend that all users update as soon as possible.
Notifications Center in your admin
Your dashboard now has a Notifications block and a dedicated Notifications page. You'll find two kinds of messages there:
- Updates and announcements from us – new versions, important changes and tips, delivered straight to your admin panel.
- System alerts – automatic warnings about your own site.
The menu shows the number of unread notifications, and the Notifications page lets you filter, search, mark as read and delete in bulk.
System alerts: know about problems before your visitors do
Tubes Booster now checks your site every few minutes and alerts you when:
- the queue has not processed jobs for more than 15 minutes
- jobs have failed in the last 24 hours
- disk space is running low (under 5% or 2 GB)
- ffmpeg or yt-dlp is missing on the server
Once the problem is fixed, the alert closes by itself. No more discovering days later that imports or encoding stopped working.
One-click update now covers the admin panel
The one-click update used to update only the backend. From this version it updates the admin panel too, so a new release really is one click – no FTP, no manual file uploads.
Security improvements
This release includes a number of security fixes and hardening across the whole system. We recommend that all users update as soon as possible.
One change to be aware of: images and http:// links inside video descriptions are no longer displayed. Text formatting, lists and https:// links work as before.
Faster, more reliable installation
The installation package is now 2.4 MB instead of 164 MB. We also fixed an installation error on new servers and a problem with database passwords containing special characters.
How to update
- Log in to your admin panel and open the dashboard.
- Under Site info, click Update.
- If the Update button appears again, click it once more – the first run updates the backend, the second one the admin panel.
- You should now see version 1.2026.8.
Don't see an Update button? Installations from before March 2026 don't include the one-click updater. Contact us and we'll update your site for you.
