Highlights

• Shared people management

• Auto-stack edits on mobile

• GeoNames for reverse geocoding, allowing for more neutral names of places
• More accurate lighting on re-scaled images
• ML performance and accuracy improvements

Shared people management

We are very pleased to release the next big milestone towards better sharing: people can now be shared!

Users can share people with you that you don't even own, allowing them to show up in shared assets. Further, it is also possible to update another user's person, if the permission allows so. This aims to address use cases where there are one or two people in a family who want to manage all the people for the rest of the family.

TODO screenshots, but we might be changing the UI until its released

People can only be shared with users within the same cluster group.

Birthday memories

In an effort of making Immich a bit more joyful to use, we are introducing memories for people's birthdays.

If it's the birthday of a person in your library, Immich will now celebrate that with a special memory featuring previous birthdays.

Auto-stack edits (mobile)

When using something other than Immich for editing images on your phone, Immich will now stack those edits on top of the original. This allows for Immich to show all edits in one place, without cluttering the timeline.

This should provide a more organized timeline, especially when you heavily rely on editing assets on your phone.

Sync OAuth claims on every login

Immich supports OAuth claims for storage quota, the user role, and the preferred username. Up until now, those were only synced on registration.

Now, they can be synced on every login, allowing you to do active user management through your IDP, updating quotas and roles as you go and as necessary, and Immich will adopt those changes.

GeoNames for reverse geocoding

We now pull names for places from GeoNames, instead of a dedicated library. Most notably, GeoNames has more (politically) neutral names. This should hopefully resolve all the issues people had around their country's name being improper.

As always, please consider supporting the project.

🎉 Cheers! 🎉

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