Version 4.5.3 - New folder structure & more

This is official release making the step from 4.4.0.

IMPORTANT

  • The internal representation of Albums changed with version 4.5.0; we strongly recommend that you BACK UP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE UPDATING.
  • The folder structure changed for images; please check the required directory permissions.
    Read more here ».

Notable Modifications (since 4.4.0)

  • New ID scheme. Albums and photos are migrated to a new ID scheme. Previously, albums and photos used time-based integer IDs. The new IDs are truly 144bit of randomness encoded in Base64 as a 24-character string; e.g., if your photo had the URL https://my-domain.tld/r/16102925744307/16102927818284 before, it may have the URL https://my-domain.tld/r/GTqZfSso3nPeCnTNW4ovisgC/jM6KkmlK7X0LtVas5MjrHtTO after the migration. This means, external links to your albums or photos will stop working. However, we implemented a redirection service. You can enable/disable the re-direction service under Settings > More > legacy_id_redirection. This gives you time to migrate any external reference to the new IDs. We also generate a log entry every time the redirection service is used. This log contains the legacy and new ID as well as information where the request came from. This may help you with the migration of your external links.

  • New folder structure for images:

    • Deep directory structure. Instead of all images of a certain kind residing in a single, flat directory (potentially containing thousands of files), we now have two additional two-letter directory levels under each kind (e.g., images are stored as medium/ba/d0/9a28ec995ead4877dfa1befa2d3b.jpg).
    • HiDPI (@2x) variants now reside in their own directories.
    • big has been renamed to original.

    Note that this only affects newly added photos; those added in the past are not moved to new locations. Also, see the note above about directory permissions.

  • Refactoring of the internal architecture and the representation of albums. While this didn't add any major new features, a number of optimizations have been put in place to speed up various operations, e.g., on installations with many hundreds of albums. Because this requires a particularly complex database migration, those with existing installations should pay attention to the note above about backing up their database.

  • Refactoring of error handling and reporting. This should result in more meaningful error messages both in the web front end and in the server logs (instead of the old cryptic "Server error or API not found" messages).

  • Refactoring of the file handling during upload/import. Instead of using temporary files and (re-)reading them many times, we now rely on file streams. This not only speeds up processing during upload/import (by around 50% in our tests), but is also an important step towards future support for the use of AWS S3 as image storage.

  • New features in the web front end :

    • QR code added in the sharing menu.
    • GPX tracks can be added to albums for displaying together with photos on the map.
    • Drag/drop support added for albums and photos to facilitate more intuitive Move/Merge

  • ZIP compression level can now be changed and the compression can be disabled.

  • Support of Vietnamese language.

Version 4.4.0 - Full support of PHP 8.0 and 8.1 - dropped 7.4

PHP 7.4 IS NOT LONGER SUPPORTED AND WILL NOT WORK. Expect error 500.

We are aware this may not be a popular decision.

Please accept the rationale of such change:

  • Php supported version: we want to stay in the green zone, anything orange is ignored.
  • PHP 8.0 brings lots of improvements: stronger typing, JIT... read more here
  • Spatie requires in all their updated packages to be in version 8.0 (basically some of our dependencies).

Version 4.3.6 : Last version with php7.4 support!

THIS IS THE LAST VERSION OF LYCHEE WHICH SUPPORTS PHP 7.4.

  • fixes #1059 : Add Cache busting.
  • new #1049 / fixes #1011 : New Photos Email Notification
    • Send an email when new photos were added to albums that have been shared.
    • Use the laravel notification system to send via SMTP, env settings will need to be set up.
    • It is set to send out emails once a week via cron, so the laravel cron job would need to be set up.
    • Neither is required so if people don't want to set those up then it won't affect the operation of Lychee.
    • Add admin setting to toggle the notification option, which enables a user level menu item to change their email. This is purely opt-in, so users can clear their email if they don't wish to receive the emails anymore.
    • The email that gets sent out has been branded lychee, and will group the last week's worth of notifications and send them all out in one email to each user that has an email set up.
  • new #1065 : Add Polish translation.
  • new #1071 : Avoid git rebase conflicts during development on other branches
  • new #1086 : cli sync from from server with option to delete, import via symlink, etc.
  • new #1097 : Make language more gender neutral.
  • fixes #1102 : Character limitation of table column logs.function causes server error 500 for deployments with long installation path
  • fixes #1105 : Fix type issues related to thumbs
  • fixes #1108 : Fixes takestamps.
    • This should correct all instances of incorrect album min/max takestamps and as a bonus be computationally much less expensive.
  • fixes #1110 : round in php8 requires an int or float as the first argument.
  • fixes #1119 : No video upload when ffmpeg is missing
  • new #1122 : Improved French translations.
  • fixes #1121 : Fix lychee:video_data
  • fixes #1033 : A bit of JS to prevent multiple submissions of the migration form.
  • fixes #1127 : The upload_processing_limit parameter only works when uploading images in the admin account. It does not work for images uploaded by other users
  • new #1142 : also support Caps on size format in diagnostics.
  • fixes #1146 : artisan optimize crashes with Unable to prepare route
  • fixes LycheeOrg/Lychee-front#270: Copy To... didn't work correctly
  • fixes LycheeOrg/Lychee-front#273: Wrong support of ' (single quote) in some places
  • fixes #1123: Album renaming did not work reliably
  • new LycheeOrg/Lychee-front#276: Remember user preference for the visibility of the info sidebar
  • fixes LycheeOrg/Lychee-front#278: Fix the menu for smart and tag albums and in public mode, fix import into top-level albums view, fix empty info sidebar for albums
