Full Changelog: v2.7.0...v2.7.2

v2.7.0

v2.7.0

Welcome to Immich v2.7.0!

This release includes enhancements to the asset viewer, security improvements, changes to the duplicate APIs and viewer, and a bunch of bug fixes. Keep reading below for the complete highlights and a note on the upcoming v3.0.0 release.

Note

We're working on a managed backup service for Immich with end-to-end encrypted backups of your library to a remote datacentre where only you hold the keys.

We've put together a quick survey (~5 mins) to get a better idea of how you're backing things up today and what you'd actually want from something like this. Your answers help us figure out what to prioritise, so we'd really appreciate it if you took a few minutes to fill it out.

Leave your email at the end if you're interested in joining our free closed beta when it's ready.

Known limitations

• The machine learning service on amd64 currently requires the >= x86-64-v2 microarchitecture. This will be patched in an upcoming patch release for backward compatibility with very old processors (before ~2010), but it will become a minimum requirement in 3.0. arm64 is not affected by this change.

Highlights

• Remove from album (asset viewer)
• Move to locked folder (folder page)
• Editor shortcuts
• Create a new face on-the-fly in the face tag editor
• Resolve duplicates
• Helmet configuration
• Version check infrastructure
• Notable fix: live photo and video download in Safari
• Notable fix: escape HTML in the Panorama Photo Viewer

Remove from album

The web has a new action, "Remove from album," available in the asset viewer that makes it easier to remove an asset from an album. This action is available to both album and asset owners.

Move to locked folder in the Folder view

Similarly, the folder view now includes the "Move to locked folder" action.

Editor shortcuts

Users on the web can now edit with keyboard shortcuts. Press e to open the editor. Once in the editor, press [ or ] to rotate the asset +/- 90 degrees. Finally, save any changes and close the editor with ENTER.

Create a new face on-the-fly in the face tag editor

You can now create a new face/person on the fly from the face tagging editor interface

Deduplication improvements

The duplicate screen has gone through a bunch of iterations since it was first introduced all the way back in May, 2024. The latest release moves a bunch of logic from the client to the server, which now automatically suggests which asset to keep based on image size and EXIF data. Additionally, the new server implementation will automatically synchronize metadata, including albums, favorite status, rating, description, visibility, location, and tags. For more information about this process, see the new documentation.

Helmet configuration

You can now opt in to using a Content Security Policy (CSP) in Immich. The new environment variant IMMICH_HELMET_FILE accepts a boolean or a path to a helmet configuration file.

Recommend action: The team recommends setting IMMICH_HELMET_FILE=true to enable the default policy. Then, please let us know if you run into any issues with it.

Background and details

Since Immich is deployed in so many different ways, it has been hard to figure out how to enable a CSP that would not conflict with or break existing installs that might use 3rd party map providers, custom CSS, embed Immich in an iframe, or other such features. In this release, we have added the ability to both opt in to a default policy and configure a custom one. To use the default policy, simply set the environment variable IMMICH_HELMET_FILE=true. To use a custom policy, set the environment variable to a path on disk (within the immich-server) that contains a valid helmet configuration (e.g. IMMICH_HELMET_FILE=/opt/immich/helmet.json). CSP can be used to control what scripts are allowed to run on the page, which domains to load images from, etc. Additionally, it can be used to configure headers for Referrer-Policy, X-Powered-By, X-Frame-Options, and others.

New version check infrastructure

Prior to this release, instances that used the automatic version check feature would send HTTP requests to github.com. Now, we have set up a small service at version.immich.cloud to handle these types of requests. This avoids any privacy implications of connecting to github.com , as well as moves the request load to our own infrastructure.

Notable fix: live photo and video download in Safari

When downloading files in Safari with the same name, it will simply overwrite the file instead of automatically renaming it. In this release, the still and motion parts of a live photo are now named differently to prevent this from happening.

Notable fix: escape HTML in panorama photo viewer

In v2.6.0, we added the ability to show/view clip text in the panorama viewer, but introduced an XSS vulnerability, which has been fixed in this release. Interestingly, this was XSS using text in the image, which would then get read by OCR.

Notable fix: Immich User Agent for external requests

Similar to the mobile app, the server now sends a custom User Agent header. The format for the User Agent is immich-server/{version}. For example, immich-server/2.7.0.

v3.0.0

Just a heads up that this is the likely to be the last release before v3.0.0. Being a major release there will be a handful of breaking changes, although it's worth noting that nothing is currently planned that requires user intervention. It is mainly changes that impact 3rd party developers. More information and details should be available in the coming weeks.

Full Changelog: v2.6.0...v2.6.1

v2.6.0

v2.6.0

Welcome to Immich v2.6.0, This release is a collection of more than 350 commits over 6 weeks. I know, it is an eternity between releases compared to our previous era. This version focuses on bug fixes and enhancements across the app to provide a more delightful and smoother experience to you. This release also prepares for the next major release in the coming month, which will remove the old timeline implementation. Let's dive into the highlights of the release:

Warning

For those who are still using the old timeline, please switch to the new timeline to avoid interruption, as the old timeline will be removed in the next release.

ps: The old timeline has an exclamation icon next to the logo.

Highlights

• Map side panel (web)
• Pick album cover (mobile)
• Shared link slugs (mobile)
• Shared link presets (web)
• Native HTTP clients (mobile)
• Video player and asset viewer improvements (mobile)
• Improved search results (mobile)
• schema-check: a new immich-admin command
• Read profile claims from ID token (OAuth)
• Notable fix: cast videos now automatically loop
• Notable fix: correctly extract make and model from Sony XAVC video files
• Notable fix: escape key handling on web
• Notable fix: healthcheck endpoint in maintenance mode
• Notable fix: timeline rendering for RTL languages like Arabic and Hebrew
• Notable fix: prevent server crash when extracting invalid metadata

Map side panel (web)

The map view on the web now opens a mini-timeline component as a side panel when you click on a cluster of assets. This makes it easier to view the cluster at a glance and enables bulk actions, such as adding to favorites and adding to an album.

Pick album cover (mobile)

Users can now pick a new album cover directly from the mobile app.

Shared link slugs (mobile)

The mobile app now also supports setting a shared link slug, a feature that's been available on the web for a while.

shasre-slug.mp4

Shared link presets (web)

The expiration form input on the web was always a bit confusing, but it's been updated to make it easier to see and understand when a shared link will expire.

Native HTTP clients (mobile)

The mobile app now uses native HTTP clients across both Android and iOS, with support for mTLS, self-signed certificates, basic auth, and custom headers. These features should now be more reliable and extend to background tasks, video playback, and other parts of the app. This also improves the app's overall network request performance thanks to HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, multiplexing, and caching.

Video player and asset viewer improvements (mobile)

The asset viewer has undergone many improvements under the hood to make it simpler, faster and more reliable. We've also added playback support for GIFs, enabled video zooming, and made many more bug fixes and tweaks.

The asset viewer now uses a gradient for actions, and video controls have been restyled

Inline asset details

This used to be a bottom sheet and had a lot of glue for alignment. The new version is much more responsive and less buggy.

After

Improved search results (mobile)

The search results page now loads more results without rebuilding the entire grid, and should now load much faster. There are also new screens for when there are no search results and when all results have been loaded.

screen-20260224-231550-1771974915747.2.mp4

schema-check: a new immich-admin command

A new immich-admin command has been added in this release: schema-check. The command runs a report on the database to check if any indexes, constraints, tables, or columns are missing. This check also runs automatically on startup.

Read profile claims from idToken (OAuth)

Prior to v2.6.0, Immich resolved the email and other claims from the userinfo endpoint. Now, Immich also supports reading those claims directly from the idToken. This makes it possible to use providers such as Microsoft ADFS that do not support the userinfo endpoint.

As always, there are many more QoL improvements, bug fixes, and enhancements in this release. Please find the full release note below
