v1.112.0

Highlights

Welcome to the release of v1.112.0 of Immich. This release packs with new UI features and enhancements, and many bugs are getting squashed. We hope you enjoy this release. Some of the key highlights include:

• Material color theming for the mobile app
• Open in map view on the web
• Star rating
• Screen stays on and auto darkens when performing a long session of foreground upload
• Notable fix: Uploading assets from iCloud causing the iOS mobile app to crash
• Notable fix: Photos and videos belonging to a person are now all displayed in the person's view on the mobile app

Material color theming for the mobile app

The app has had a makeover to prepare for the new school year. You can now choose a different primary color in the app, and the new color will be applied across the app's elements. There are a variety of minor tweaks in UI elements to make the app appear more consistent and aesthetically pleasing.

Open in map view on the web

You can now navigate to the map directly from the asset's detail panel by clicking on the map icon at the top right corner of the minimap.

Star rating

As one of the most commonly used pieces of information for photographers, the star rating information in EXIF will now be included in the extracted data. You can run the extract metadata job for all to populate this information in your instance.

Enabling this feature in User Settings > App Settings > Star Rating lets you view and set the star rating information in the detail panel.

The edited information will be saved in the companion sidecar XMP file.

Always-on screen for foreground upload

When entering the backup screen and running foreground backup, the screen will now stay on and automatically darken after 30 seconds.

New search models

Immich now supports a set of newer models with very competitive performance. See #11468 for details and visualizations.

A special mention goes to ViT-B-16-SigLIP__webli, which outperforms several much larger ViT-L models despite being the same size as the default model. However, it is a bit slower than the default. At the same size, ViT-B-16-SigLIP-384__webli is among the best models period, at the cost of being much slower than other models of its size. It's ideal for memory-constrained environments that still want the best quality.

Full Changelog: v1.111.0...v1.112.0

This discussion was created from the release v1.112.0.

[stumpigit]

Congratulations on the release! I'm already working on expanding the search so that you can filter by star rating... I hope this can be integrated in the next release.

Many thanks to all contributors and happy Immich!

[lukanowa]

Thx for new release:)

chore(server): support pgvecto.rs 0.3.0 by @mertalev in #11624

Is that means we can change the version in docker-compose?

[alextran1502]

If you don't see any issues, I highly suggest you keep the current running version.

[mertalev]

Immich will work fine without upgrading and we won't be requiring 0.3.0.

If you'd like to optionally change it, the instructions for the default setup are to:

1. Make a backup of the database
2. Change the version in the Compose file to 0.3.0
3. docker compose up
4. docker compose down after seeing logs about needing to restart Postgres
5. docker compose up

For Postgres instances where Immich isn't a superuser:

1. Make a backup of the database
2. Change the version in the Compose file to 0.3.0
3. Start Postgres
4. Run the below commands:

ALTER EXTENSION vectors UPDATE;
SELECT pgvectors_upgrade();

5. Restart Postgres
6. Start Immich

[SteveDinn]

Just upgraded to 1.112.0 and I'm seeing this error repeated in my logs. Where do I set this setting? Should it be an environment variable? I'm assuming that it should contain the URL via which the immich instance is accessed, is this correct?

[Nest] 17  - 08/14/2024, 6:31:32 PM   ERROR [Api:An instance of SystemConfigDto has failed the validation:

[alextran1502]

We fixed an issue of possible invalid External Domain settings

Make sure yours has http:// or https://

[SteveDinn]

Thanks. That was it. I didn't have the https:// prefix.

[iFloris]

Thanks! Congratulations on another great release. So what is the 'best' new smart search model to use? If I want to use multilingual, would that be ViT-B-16-SigLIP-i18n-256__webli? Memory isn't much of a constraint for my setup.

[mertalev]

The NLLB models (specifically the new mrl variants) are the theoretical best for almost all of them. However, they work best when you start the search query with a specific identifier for the language (e.g. eng_Latn crashing waves). I'm unsure how well they work without that.

XLM-Roberta-Large-ViT-H-14__frozen_laion5b_s13b_b90k is generally a safe choice as it's the best aside from the NLLB models, supports a wide range of languages and doesn't expect a language token.

[iFloris]

Thanks for your advice @mertalev, I've set that up.

[samluxh]

Hi there,

thank you for the update, I’m currently using immich and really enjoying it! However, I’ve noticed that it still seems impossible to filter by just a month (for example, August across all years) or by a year without specifying a particular day or date.

Is this functionality still not available, or is there a way to achieve this that I might have missed?

Thanks in advance for your help, and thanks for all the great work on immich!

[mertalev]

That's an interesting idea! Feel free to make a feature request for it if there isn't one already.

[samluxh]

The feature request #10684 seems to be same/similar, so I just commented there again. Thank you! :-)

[mertalev]

I don't recall the command being changed. It's probably just a white space change from formatting.

[cfelicio]

Just upgraded the IOS App, and the "local network" option is gone?

[alextran1502]

Where can you find that?

[Ador-able]

There is no ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-machine-learning:v1.112.1-openvino ！！

[imohitkr]

yeah hit the same issue.

[imohitkr]

@alextran1502 @mertalev can you please help with this? It was working fine earlier with v1.111.0. My compose file for machine-learning container looks like this:

immich-machine-learning:
    container_name: immich_machine_learning
    # user: 999:10
    # security_opt:

    env_file:

    restart: always

[alextran1502]

It looks like there is something wrong with the debian repository so the build cannot finish, you guys can temporarily pin the version to v1.111.0 for the machine learning image tag

[raisinbear]

Thanks a lot for all your efforts keeping this going forward! 🎉
Great to see new models, too! 😀 Is the performance penalty mentioned restricted to classification only or will it slow down search as well?

[mertalev]

It will slow down search too. Pro tip: if you want to avoid the delay the first time you search and you're okay with keeping the model loaded, add the env MACHINE_LEARNING_PRELOAD__CLIP=<model-name>. It will load the model at startup instead of waiting for a request.

[raisinbear]

Thanks a lot. Seems like I’ll have to try then. Also great tip with the preloading!

[nnmalex]

May I suggest that auto dimming of the screen can be annoying and would be nice as an opt-in option?
At the same time the fact that the app can stay in foreground and do a large sync is amazing.

[Weuxel]

Hi,
maybe add a hint about breaking changes about this?

Thanks.

[mertalev]

That check was added a long time ago. What version are you upgrading from?

[Weuxel]

I upgraded from the previous version v1.111.0.

[mertalev]

We did refactor this recently. I guess it wasn't working before 😅

[Weuxel]

Alright then 😉
Thanks for the info. 👍
