v1.89.0

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.89.0 of Immich. This release focuses on bug fixes and quality improvements for the server, web, and mobile client. Some of the highlights include:

• Better reverse geocoding resource management (#5301)
• Search name when merging face
• Album sorting options (take 2)
• Set original datetime via sidecar in preparation for metadata writing (#5199, #5066)

Reverse Geocoding Rewrite

When we first implemented reverse-geocoding, we picked a semi-popular library to handle it for us. However, we have run into quite a few issues. Like this, this, this, this, and plenty more. For better or for worse, it was easier to rewrite the implementation from the ground up, as part of the Immich core codebase. The new implementation matches the accuracy of the previous implementation but with multiple improvements. We plan to increase accuracy further in the future. Some of the changes include:

• Default reverse geocoding files ship with the immich-server image (bye-bye .reverse-geocoding-dump/ folder and internet connectivity requirement!)
• Reverse geocoding is read and loaded into Postgres once per release and then cached afterward.
• Microservices memory usage down from ~500MB to ~100MB

Before

After

Warning

If you are running your own Postgres database (not the one in our default docker-compose) and created the immich user yourself, you may need to enable the required extensions as the database superuser. You can do this by running the following two queries under the context of the immich database. This will only need to be run once.

CREATE EXTENSION cube;
CREATE EXTENSION earthdistance;

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