v0.10.0

4 years ago

I'll be taking a break due to exams.

The auto-updater for this release hangs at "Starting HPX Updater". If this occurs, please manually install the update and overwrite your installation.

Highlights

  • This release brings many changes across the board.
  • The metadata fetcher has been revamped, it should now work more reliably and faster due to its new batching mechanism
  • Auto-backup feature has been added. From this version onward, backups will be made automatically when updating through the application
  • Folder watching, scan on startup, and moving of gallery files on import
  • Filters now update automatically, (though with a bit of delay)
  • Lots of plugin improvements including auto-updates and the ability for plugins to now have their own custom site
  • This allows for several useful plugins to now be bundled with HPX
  • I have created a python client library for HPX that should ease in creating HPX clients, see py-client. A js-client is coming as well
  • Some of you probably miss a dedicated desktop application just like HappyPanda, for this I present HappyPanda X Desktop
  • Lastly, lots of things have changed server-side which might break plugins and clients, see below for a detailed list of these changes
