The newest version of Mealie includes several new features and quality of life improvements. We've also got five first-time contributors in this release!

ℹ️ IMPORTANT NOTICE

Included in this release we updated our image processing algorithm to improve image quality and compression (thanks @1-tempest!). This improves all new images added to Mealie moving forward. If you'd like to reprocess your existing images, we've included a user script:

docker exec -it mealie bash
python /opt/mealie/lib64/python3.12/site-packages/mealie/scripts/reprocess_images.py

More information in the docs, including some configuration options to speed things up if you have stronger hardware. This process could take several minutes depending on how many recipes you have (and your hardware).
