Local Lens v2.1.0

This is a significant feature release that introduces a comprehensive user onboarding experience and dramatically expands RAW image format support for macOS and Linux users.

✨ New Features

  • Interactive Tutorial & Walkthrough: A brand-new, step-by-step tutorial has been added to guide first-time users through the application's core features, from selecting folders to sorting photos and enrolling faces.
  • Expanded RAW Image Support (macOS & Linux): Thanks to the integration of ImageMagick, Local Lens now supports a much wider range of RAW image formats on macOS and Linux, including formats from many newer cameras.

⬆️ Improvements

  • Modernized Build Process: The release build process is now more robust, using dynamic logic to correctly package the backend executable for different operating systems and CPU architectures.
  • Dependency Updates: Replaced the deprecated pkg_resources library with a modern equivalent, ensuring better compatibility and performance for face recognition tasks.
