For what it is worth, I upgraded without changing anything and it worked perfectly.
As the title might appear a bit alarmist, saving a click “For most users, there’s nothing to worry about. However, if you’ve manually set a custom relative path for “IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION” in your “.env” file, you’ll need to convert it to an absolute path. For example, “IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION=./my-library” must become “IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION=/usr/src/app/my-library“.”
The one feature I’ve been waiting on for a while is better face recognition in videos, not only the first frame. When/if this happens I will start using it. They’re discussing it for quite a while though, afraid it won’t happen.
The new beta timeline is sooo smooth! I finally don’t hate scrolling back to find a specific old photo. The scrolling performance feels completely native to me now.
