Breaking Changes

You will need to update both the server and the mobile app to version v1.43.0 to have the app works correctly.

Highlights

Hello all, welcome to release v1.43.0 of Immich. This release also marked the first birthday of Immich, which was officially born on Jan 23rd, 2022 on GitLab. I am very happy to see that the project has grown so much in the past year. I would like to thank all the contributors and users for their support and contributions. I hope that you will continue to support the project in the future.

This release is a big one, it contains a lot of new features and improvements.

1. Auto-discovery URL on the mobile app

With the new auto-discovery endpoint on the web, now when you put in https://immich.your-domain.com the form will automatically add in /api when making the request to the server.

2. Change of the token authentication mechanism

This change will mitigate the issue of mobile app users getting logged out after 30 days, and also enable management logged-in instances in the upcoming release. So you can log out remote instance from your admin console.

3. Additional options to public shared link

The public shared link now come with the Show metadata and Allow download options.
Please note that the server just prevents showing metadata on the app, if you allow download, the public user still can download the original file and look at the metadata.
We have yet to implement a file-level EXIF stripping mechanism

4. Jobs can now be rerun on all assets

We revamp the job mechanism and add an additional option to re-run the job of generating thumbnails, video encoding, metadata extraction, and object detection on all assets. This paired with the recent fix in incorrect creation time from the EXIF information will help you to fix your instance.

Some of the other notable changes

• Add a favorite page on the web
• Add an additional option for video transcoding, now it is smarter. Any video that is not under the desired codec (h264 as default) will be transcoded.
• File's hash is now computed on uploaded, this fixes the issue with timing out of the request.
• Further clean up the code base for more advanced features.
• We have improved the code base by adding more tests, and additional CI/CD pipelines that will ensure the quality of the application in the future in each release and reduce the number of regression bugs.

Highlight

Individual assets public share

You can now share individual asset or a group of assets with a public user.

Additional feature such as stripping EXIF and option to allow download is in review and will be available in the next release.

Fix issue with incorrect time due to unknown timezone in EXIF data

We are utilizing the exif-vendor library to replace the older library which doesn't take into account the timezone when extracting the timestamp. This would fix the issue with incorrect time displayed on the mobile and the web. There is currently no mechanism to rerun the EXIF extraction on the existing assets. We will be working on this in the future.

With this new library, it also allows us to build the editing EXIF of an asset in the future.

Thanks @samip5 for the contribution of the harden EXIF feature.
Thanks @photostructure for the library.
Thanks @jrasm91, @bo0tzz, @matthinc, @jbaez and @zoodyy for ongoing contribution and supporting the project.

Highlight - Public sharing 🎉

Yes, one more time, I am very proud to present the new awaiting feature of Immich - Public Sharing. It is quite similar to Google Photos public shared link, however, with even more features.

Each album can have multiple links; each link can be individually configured based on the permission to upload or the expiration time. You can manage all the links in the shared link page, not just the shared link for the group of assets.

As a public user, he/she can

• View individual assets.
• Download a group of assets.
• Download the whole shared album.
• Upload asset (if allowed) - the asset will belong to the user that shares the link.

We've made this specific page to be mobile friendly so it can be viewed correctly on every screen on the mobile browser, the download and upload feature also works on the mobile browser.

We plan to add the functionality to share individual or group assets in the next release.

Please help us test out this new feature and let me know your thoughts or report bugs that you found.

Besides the abovementioned feature, we have deployed a TON, yes! a TON more of bug fixes and features. Please read the detailed changed log below.

As always, please consider supporting the project.

Christmas Special Release 🎁

Happy holiday! I am excited to bring you this release, it accomplishes one of the most wanted features since the early day of the application

User-defined storage structure of uploaded files.

We provide an interface on the web so that the admin can build out the structure of the file's layout. The interactive builder template would help you see what the final structure would look like.

Along with that feature, we add a migration mechanism, allowing migrate all your files from the legacy structure of Immich to the new template layout and also allowing migration between template changes. So if the template you set now doesn't work in the future, you can always change to the new one.

The default template layout is YEAR/YEAR-MONTH-DAY/FILENAME.EXT You can add custom text as well as using the variable we provided for the template.

I hope you enjoy this feature as much as I do, and I hope Immich is one step closer to being a solution to store photos and videos from your mobile device.

🎉 Cheer! 🎉
