Welcome to Immich v2.6.0! This release is a collection of more than 350 commits over 6 weeks. I know, it is an eternity between releases compared to our previous era. This version focuses on bug fixes and enhancements across the app to provide a more delightful and smoother experience for you. This release also prepares for the next major release in the coming month, which will remove the old timeline implementation. Let's dive into the highlights of the release:

Highlights

• Map side panel (web)
• Pick album cover (mobile)
• Shared link slugs (mobile)
• Shared link presets (web)
• Native HTTP clients (mobile)
• Video player and asset viewer improvements (mobile)
• Improved search results (mobile)
• schema-check: a new immich-admin command
• Read profile claims from id token (OAuth)
• Notable fix: cast videos now automatically loop
• Notable fix: correctly extract make and model from Sony XAVC video files
• Notable fix: escape key handling on web
• Notable fix: healthcheck endpoint in maintenance mode
• Notable fix: timeline rendering for RTL languages like Arabic and Herbrew
• Notable fix: prevent server crash when extracting invalid metadata

Map side panel (web)

The map view on the web now opens a mini-timeline component as a side panel when you click on a cluster of assets. This makes it easier to view the cluster at a glance and enables bulk actions, such as favorite and add to album.

Pick album cover (mobile)

Users can now pick a new album cover directly from the mobile app.

Shared link slugs (mobile)

The mobile app now also supports setting a shared link slug, a feature that's been available on the web for a while.

Shared link presets (web)

The expiration form input on the web was always a bit confusing, but it's been updated to make it easier to see and understand when a shared link will expire.

Native HTTP clients (mobile)

The mobile app now uses native HTTP clients across both Android and iOS, with support for mTLS, self-signed certificates, basic auth, and custom headers. These features should now be more reliable and extend to background tasks, video playback, and other parts of the app. This also improves the app's overall network request performance thanks to HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, multiplexing, and caching.

Video player and asset viewer improvements (mobile)

The asset viewer has undergone many improvements under the hood to make it simpler, faster and more reliable. We've also added playback support for GIFs, enabled video zooming, and made many more bug fixes and tweaks.

The asset viewer now uses a gradient for actions, and video controls have been restyled

Inline asset details

This used to be a bottom sheet, and had a lot of glue for alignment. The new version is much more responsive and less buggy.

Improved search results (mobile)

The search results page now loads more results without rebuilding the entire grid, and should now load much faster. There are also new screens for when there are no search results and when all results have been loaded.

schema-check: a new immich-admin command

A new immich-admin command has been added this release: schema-check. The command runs a report on the database to check if any indexes, constraints, tables or columns are missing. This check also runs automatically on start up.

Read profile claims from idToken (OAuth)

Prior to v2.6.0 Immich resolved the email and other claims from the userinfo endpoint. Now, Immich also supports reading those claims directly from the idToken. This makes it possible to use providers such as Microsoft ADFS that do not support userinfo.

As always, please consider supporting the project.

🎉 Cheers! 🎉
