v1.2 improves how domain blocks work, allowing admins to reject media caching on the server via the admin UI. At the same time, status metadata about presence of media attachments is no longer *broken* due to that option - instead, when there is no local cache, the remote media is linked directly (hotlinking)

@Gargron much needed. Thank you for your work! I need to sign up for your Patreon...

I have to say, #mastodon is one of the best organized projects I've ever seen.
