Highlights
- New photos are indexed a little faster. When photon indexes a photo it reads the start of the file for keywords and a caption. For a photo with no XMP metadata, which is most camera originals, finding that out took about 66 µs and now takes about 5 µs. On a first import of 100,000 such photos that is around six seconds less work for the scan.
Your files are untouched
photon reads the same bytes of each photo as before and only searches them faster. Nothing is written to your photos.
Upgrading
Nothing needs to be done. The library is not changed, so 0.41.0 can still open it, and no files are re-read.
Not in this release
New features or fixes: this release only speeds up reading new photos.
Unsigned installers. See the README for the security warnings each OS shows, and how to get past them.
