WABS - v1.0.0-beta.4

WABS v1.0.0-beta.4 🚀

We are excited to announce WABS v1.0.0-beta.4! This update brings powerful new boolean search capabilities, major improvements to Face Recognition workflows (including profile merging), new database export tools, and a refreshed Settings interface.

🚀 Major New Features
Advanced Search Operators: Added support for explicit boolean search operators + (Require/Match All) and - (Exclude) to allow fine-grained filtering (e.g., +object:car -tag:blur).
Similar Face Detection: Introduced the ability to easily find and merge similar unknown faces directly into an existing person's profile.
Face Profile Merging: Added the ability to manually merge multiple face profiles into one for improved face detection organization.
Data Export & Backup: Added a new "Export / Backup Data" feature in Settings to safely create a portable copy of your databases and configuration without needing to stop the application.
Full Archive Timeline: Added an option to display the complete chronological timeline of your entire archive directly in the Explorer and Search views.
Logging Support: Add logs for critical failures to help debug issues. This can be enabled in Settings UI.

✨ UI/UX Enhancements
Settings UI Reorganization: Completely overhauled the Settings page into a clean, tabbed interface (General, UI Preferences, AI & Vision, Backups, Smart Searches) for much easier navigation.

🐞 Bug Fixes & Performance
Dashboard Statistics: Corrected the "Known People" and "Unknown People" counts on the dashboard to accurately reflect unique individuals instead of total face appearances.

📦 Installation / Updating
If you are updating from a previous beta, simply download the new executable for your OS below and replace your old version. Your archive.db, ai_metadata.db, and config.yaml files are fully forward-compatible!
