v1.61.0

v1.61.0

Welcome to the v1.61.0 release of Immich. There are many updates in this version that we hope you'll like. Some of the key highlights include:

• Client-side hashing on the mobile app
• Justified layout for timeline view on the web
• Proper support for RAW file formats
• Memories feature on the web
• Select-all button on all web views

Client-side hashing on the mobile app

The mobile app will now calculate the hash of each asset when an album(s) are selected for backup from the backup screen.

This mechanism will provide a way to implement additional features in the future to improve the deduplication mechanism on the mobile app. So in the event of changing the mobile device and copying the existing gallery from the older device to the newer one, the mobile client will be able to identify which assets are on the server to avoid re-uploading them.

After the hash is calculated, the local asset will show up on the timeline.

When viewing the Photos page, you can check the hashing progress via the loading indicator on the bottom app bar.

The hashing speed is optimized for Android (using native Kotlin) but not yet for iOS devices.

Justified timeline layout

This feature considers the orientation of the photos and videos to display them with the correct aspect ratio in a justified layout manner. These features improve the viewing experiences with an aesthetic feeling on the main timeline.

Proper support of RAW file formats

Thanks to our new contributor @uhthomas, we are now using a better library to generate thumbnails for RAW files, specifically Sony ARW in this version, so that they are no longer blurry. Please consider rerunning the thumbnail generation job if you uploaded RAW files before this release.

Memories feature

This release adds a foundation for the memories feature you love in other gallery applications. The first iteration implements the mechanism to remind you of events that happened x years ago and go back 30 years to the past. The memories are available to view as a gallery of the whole day or a slideshow with the ability to autoplay.

Select-all button on the web

You can now select all assets from the timeline, album, and other views on the web

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

Finally, been waiting for the Justified web timeline I can finally switch from gp
Thanks a lot for your hard work 😉

Can someone give me an "easy" way to update an existing system from 1.60 -> 1.61? I installed initially using the (experimental) install script, but I tried re-using it and the resultant system would not display the web page.
