I love the new features. It’s the small things, like locating an image on your timeline from an album, that make a difference. The improvements to external library scanning are promising. When I transfer my DSLR images to the Immich external library, it used to miss a few images, and I always had to rescan manually. I hope this update fixes that issue.

What is an “Immich external library”? I’m a user of Immich but not sure what that means.
If you have an existing photo library somewhere on a drive, and load it in immich keeping its own folder structure. In the docker compose file you map the external library to the container.

It keeps folder structure now? I remember when I tried to import my Digikam/Piwigo based collection, it would dump it all into 1 album flattening the hierarchy if directories.IIRC this was a technical decision on Immich choosing to use a list of albums vs a folder hierarchy. I’ll need to give it another try if it’s changed
On the drive your hierarchy is kept as it is if you use the external library feature. In this realease you can even browse the folder structure on mobile.
In Immich I did have to reorder all photos to their own albums, although I think there is a function that does this based on the folder structure. I did not try this however.

Dang it I finally literally just updated yesterday after not updating for like six months and being lazy haha.
Nice new features though and no breaking changes so no big deal. Just update it again today, I guess.

Always wait a couple days before doing a big upgrade. These smaller projects tend to have patch releases pretty soon after a major release.
I use Actual Budget, and they have had a .1 release within a day or so of pretty much every release since I’ve been using them.
If you’re okay debugging some stuff, by all means, get the .0 right away and submit reports. But if you’re not going to do that, wait a couple days.
I wish I could set my Immich Docker image to a specific version other than ‘latest’ and let Watchtower update it automatically. Perhaps it would be helpful to have a major release for every breaking change.

I don’t use Watchtower, but many images follow semver so setting the version to something that you feel comfortable with can help.
I use podman and set my images to auto-update, and I just use a tag that’s broad enough to probably not break stuff with the auto-updates.
How far away is stable release? Timeline says early 2025 which is kind of now. Tbh I might install it now anyway, doesnt seem to be many breaking changes anymore
The only thing that breaks is my PC when I try to run most jobs concurrently. Just be patient with it. I’m using external libraries instead of importing directly to immich storage

you could use dockcheck, it has this feature:
-d N Only update to new images that are N+ days old.I’m going to have to let this loosen my photo collection! Looks awesome!
Insane!
Well damn I just added a massive external library a week ago and it took ages… Awesome improvements!
