Immich, an open-sourceย self-hosted photo and video backup solution, has captured many users’ hearts worldwide and recently celebrated a remarkable achievement: reaching 40,000 stars on GitHub. For reference, in April 2022, the number was just 1,000.
To celebrate this achievement, developers rolled out a new version, 1.110, which brings several noteworthy updates and features to improve user experience and expand functionality.
Whatโs New in Immich v1.110
Immich-Hosted Map Tiles: Transitioning from third-party providers, Immich now hosts its own map tiles at https://tiles.immich.cloud.
This shift promises enhanced performance and reduced dependency on external services, ensuring a more integrated and speedy experience for users navigating maps in light or dark mode.
Revised Purchase Mechanisms: The wording related to how users can purchase Immich has been updated in response to community feedback.
Humorously dubbed “The-Words-Which-Must-Not-Be-Named,” these changes include a clearer, more user-friendly approach to buying options and licensing.
For instance, a new “Buy” button will appear once an account is older than 14 days, with additional settings to hide this button temporarily or indefinitely.
Just a quick note: In the earlier version, 1.109, Immich added an option for users to buy a license to support the project. At the same time, the software’s functionality is not limited in any way, whether or not you have a license.
Supporter Recognition: Immich has introduced a product key-claiming mechanism via a dedicated website to acknowledge past financial donors’ contributions. Moreover, supporters can now flaunt a shiny new supporter badge in their profiles, which can be hidden if preferred.
Enhanced Security with TLS Client Certificates: In Immich 1.110, users can now add custom TLS certificates to the mobile app, enhancing security for those with specific network configurations.
Machine Learning and More: The update also improves machine learning capabilities, especially for ARM-NN and OpenVINO support, ensuring broader compatibility and faster performance across various hardware.
Theย announcementย provides detailed information about all the novelties and improvements that Immich 1.110 brings.
