Reliability update
LRBridge v0.5.2 is a maintenance release that makes the existing LRBridge experience more stable and reliable.
There are no new Lightroom controls in this version. The Web Controller, Lightroom sliders and actions, visible slider feedback, context API, and Bitfocus Companion integration work as before.
The main goal of this release is to reduce freezes, hanging requests, failed commands, and shutdown problems during normal use.
What changed for users
- LRBridge is less likely to stop responding after a failed Lightroom command.
- Web Controller requests now finish cleanly when a browser, network connection, or LRBridge response is interrupted.
- Invalid slider adjustment values are rejected instead of being interpreted unpredictably.
- LRBridge now handles malformed network requests without crashing or producing unhandled errors.
- Web Controller and LRBridge servers shut down more reliably.
- The command queue is protected from growing indefinitely.
- HTTP and WebSocket connections now have safer limits to reduce accidental resource problems.
- Companion and browser control over the local network continue to work normally.
Do I need to change anything?
No configuration changes are required.
Existing users can replace their previous portable LRBridge folder with this version and continue using the same:
- Lightroom plug-in
- Companion buttons and actions
- Web Controller
- ports and network addresses
- configuration files
The Lightroom plug-in version remains 1.0.0.
Important network note
LRBridge is designed for trusted local networks or private connections such as Tailscale.
It does not currently include user authentication and should not be exposed directly to the public internet.
