Highlights
- The Tags list in the sidebar updates faster. Counting how many photos carry each tag is the slowest part of refreshing the sidebar, and it runs whenever your photos change - including while a scan is indexing new ones. It now takes less than half as long: about 0.2 s instead of 0.5 s on a library of 300,000 photos with three keywords each.
- AVIF photos are turned into thumbnails a little faster. Converting a decoded AVIF's colours for display takes about 40% less time, which makes a 12-megapixel AVIF's thumbnail about 6% quicker. The picture comes out exactly as before, to the pixel.
Your files are untouched
Nothing new is read from or written to your photos.
Upgrading
Nothing needs to be done. The library is not changed, so 0.41.1 can still open it, and no files are re-read.
Not in this release
New features or fixes: this release only speeds up the Tags list and AVIF thumbnails.
Unsigned installers. See the README for the security warnings each OS shows, and how to get past them.
