v1.66.0

[alextran1502]

Release v1.66.0 - 04/07/2023

Welcome to release v1.66.0 of Immich. This release focuses on refactoring the server code and adding enhancements to the web timeline and facial recognition features. Some of the key highlights include:

Choose a new feature photo for a person
Shift-key selection on the web timeline

Person face thumbnail selection

You can now select a different thumbnail for a person's face by choosing a photo that the person is in.

Change.feature.thumbnail.mp4

In order to use this feature, please run the Detect Faces job for ALL so that the coordinates of the faces are registered to the database. I apologize for the inconvenience

Shift-key selection on the web timeline

shift-selection.mp4

You can now hold the SHIFT key to select multiple assets on the timeline.

Note that only assets that are rendered can be selected, i.e. jumping to a random point on the timeline and using shift-select will only work with the assets that are shown on the screen.

And as always, bugs are fixed, and many other improvements also come with this release.

Please consider supporting the project.
