Immich, an open-source self-hosted photo and video backup solution, has just released version 1.142. This update comes with a significant change: the beta timeline is now the default.
For users upgrading from older versions, the app will automatically handle the migration steps on-device. After that, a quick restart is all it takes to get the new timeline experience up and running.
The new version also introduces a much-requested feature on the job administration page—a “resume all” button. It’s particularly useful for people importing libraries with immich-go, where paused jobs sometimes leave background tasks stuck until manually resumed.
With the new option, clearing trash and generating memories should no longer get held up.
Moreover, the geolocation utility has been reworked into a timeline view, making it easier to scroll through the library and fill in missing coordinates. On the mobile side, the toggle for read-only mode has changed from a double-tap to a long-press, reducing accidental triggers.
On the fixes side, one of the more notable addresses crashes on Raspberry Pi 4 when generating thumbnails. Users who previously worked around the issue with the “VIPS_NOVECTOR=1” environment variable are advised to remove it when updating.
Beyond these highlights, Immich 1.142 brings a long list of bug fixes and improvements across the server, web, and mobile apps, covering everything from database backups to UI navigation and background backups on Android.
