Highlights
- See how much memory photon is using. Settings → About now shows photon's memory use, updated every couple of seconds while About is open. On Linux and Windows the figure includes the web view's processes, which draw photon's window and are often the larger part; it is measured the way your system monitor measures, so it can be compared with it directly. On macOS the web view's processes cannot be told apart from other apps', so the figure is photon's own process alone, and About says so.
Your files are untouched
Nothing about how photon treats your photos has changed. It still never writes to, moves or deletes a photo file.
Upgrading
Nothing needs to be done. The library format is unchanged, so an older photon can still open a library 0.43.0 has used.
Not in this release
The web view's memory on macOS. Only a private system API links those processes to photon, and a figure that could break with a macOS update, or count Safari's pages as photon's, would be worse than a partial one clearly labelled.
Unsigned installers. See the README for the security warnings each OS shows, and how to get past them.
