Photoview

Summary

This is the 1st release after project restart. It contains a lot of fixes, improvements, and even refactoring. We’ve included the most important changes, contributed by the Photoview Community while the project was on hold and during these few months after the restart.

We hope that future releases won’t take so much time and will contain smaller lists of changes ;-)

IMPORTANT: If you’re using Docker deployment and didn’t use the master branch + image with the new configs, make sure to carefully read the Getting started — Setup with Docker section of the Readme and apply the new config as described there! Simply pulling the new image won’t work!
