New logo

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.99.0 of Immich. This release adds the new logo, fixes many bugs, and improves the application. Some of the highlights include:

  • [WEB] Sort photos and videos to display direction in an album.
  • On-disk cache on the mobile app to provide a better viewing experience.
  • There is a new endpoint for OpenTelemetry metrics to monitor performance.
  • Optimized queries for large libraries.
  • Add upload progress and speed indicator.
  • XMP sidecar file is now recognized with both photo.ext.xmp and photo.xmp extensions.
  • Drag to select - Now press your thumb to drag and select in the selection mode.
  • Improve user feedback in the mobile app's backup and album selection screen.
  • Various improvements for the library scanning process.

Asset's display direction in the album

We added an option to change the order of the assets in the album so you can view the assets from older to newest and vice versa.

album.view.order.mp4

Mobile asset caching

Improving cache for remote thumbnails and the images, they now stay on disk so that they can load faster and give a better experience while used offline. You should feel a faster loading experience across the app.

Performance monitoring with OpenTelemetry integration

Immich provides a variety of performance metrics to allow for local monitoring and insights. This integration is primarily in the form of Prometheus metrics. However, exporting traces is also possible due to OpenTelemetry instrumentation. Please visit the documentation to learn how to enable this feature

Note

This opt-in feature allows you to monitor Immich's performance. This data isn't sent anywhere beyond what you've configured.

File size progress and upload speed indicator

We added an indicator to show the file's size that has been uploaded and the upload speed under the progress bar in the backup screen.

Simulator.Screen.Recording.-.iPhone.15.Pro.Max.-.2024-03-14.at.18.08.37.mp4

Drag to select

You can now drag to select in the mobile app when in selection mode; this will help make selecting in bulk easier.

And lastly, I want to express my gratitude to @immich-app/contributor who make this behemoth of a release happen πŸŽ‰


And as always, bugs are fixed, and many other improvements also come with this release.

The new logo looks good and it is not a breaking change 😌☝🏻

[–] breezelbub@l.shoddy.site 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

been using immich since last may, it quickly became one of my most important mobile apps. amazing software!

[–] sherlockholmez@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 months ago

Same. The UI is super friendly for my newb family members and despite a few breaking changes with updates, it has required little upkeep.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 10 points 7 months ago

Seems a massive update. Let me go and install it.

[–] stackPeek@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Congrats on the new logo!

[–] InformalTrifle@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

I might have to donate to this. Awesome project

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Am I reading correctly that there are no breaking changes expected?

[–] morethanevil@lemmy.fedifriends.social 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes, no breaking changes this time

[–] spez_@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

The mobile app broke

[–] MrQuallzin@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Will get updating now! Since the last update my server hasn't been accessible and I've been too lazy to figure out why (Portainer shows it up, but the server container quickly goes offline). Hopefully I can get this fixed today.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They made a breaking change to the Postgres database a couple versions back. Check that.

[–] MrQuallzin@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Thanks for the tip on the Postgres changes! Went back and looked at the 1.95.0 changes and followed the instructions there for fixing it. This seems to have solved my issue!

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Don't auto-update Immich, always check the release notes before upgrading for things that say "Breaking changes". They're usually highlighted and tell you what you need to change.

[–] MrQuallzin@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't have it auto updating. I'm just a dingus who doesn't read

[–] darelik@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

There's dozens of us

Dozens!

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 4 points 7 months ago

Glad you're sorted!

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Got some issue with the mobile app recently. It stopped recognising my already uploaded mobile pictures. Now they were blacklisted and when I cleared that it shows them again as not uploaded. In the timeline though everything shows as backed up. Bit weird and not sure how to solve it.

[–] rambos@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Are you using the same version of server and mobile app?

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 months ago

Yes, just updated to the latest version in the hopes it fixes that, which it didn't.

I still need to get this back up after the database requirement took it down
