v1.62.0

Highlights

Welcome to the v1.62.0 release of Immich. There are many updates in this version that we hope you'll like. Some of the key highlights include:

• Thumbhash on the web.
• Easier to host the Machine Learning container on a different machine.

Thumbhash on the web

The thumbnail now displays the blur version of the thumbnail image before the actual image is loaded. This mechanism replaces the transition from the gray box to the actual image to provide a better transition in the browsing experience.

The video simulates a slow network loading scenario.

For existing assets, you can run the Thumbnail Generation job with missing option to generate the thumbhash data

Host the machine-learning container on a different machine.

The server will now send the asset's content over HTTP to the machine learning container so that the container can be spun up on a different machine without the need to access the UPLOAD_LOCATION to run all of the machine learning tasks.

This feature will provide a better experience when deploying the machine-learning container for users that host the Immich server on a low-end machine.

You can update docker-compose.yml to remove UPLOAD_LOCATION mount from ML container

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

Please consider supporting the project.
