v1.8.0-rc.5
Full Changelog: v1.8.0-rc.4...v1.8.0-rc.5
[1.8.0-rc.5] - 2026-10-22
Warning
Release candidate for opt-in testing. SQLite changes the on-disk store. Stop Drydock and back up the complete store directory before upgrading from v1.7 or earlier. First startup imports existing JSON data into SQLite. Downgrading requires restoring the intended pre-upgrade JSON snapshot and any separate session file; changes made only in SQLite are not carried back. A fresh v1.8 installation has no pre-upgrade JSON snapshot. Start with a copy of your store and test containers.
This candidate includes the v1.8.0-rc.1 features, the v1.8.0-rc.2 fixes, and the v1.8.0-rc.3 and v1.8.0-rc.4 changes, and retains their upgrade warnings. Registries that list tags oldest first, such as GHCR, no longer hide new releases of very large repositories behind the 50-page listing limit (#1453). v1.8 GA is not released; v1.7.0 (GA 2026-10-19) is the latest stable release. RC5 has its own publication-based soak.
Fixed
- Find new tags on registries that list oldest first. When a repository has more tags than the 50-page listing limit, as
ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-machine-learningdoes, Drydock now continues the listing from the container's current tag instead of stopping, so newer releases are no longer missed (#1453).
