Version 6

v6.3.0

Released on Feb 14, 2025

Localization Reset !

With the version 6, a lot of the strings were still hard coded in the front-end. We have now moved all the strings to the back-end and we have had to reset the localization. This means that all the strings are now in English and you will have to re-translate them.

If you would like to help us have a look at your language files in the resources/lang folder and submit a PR. Please ignore the lychee.php file as it is the Legacy file and will be removed in a future version.

Caching for performance improvements

Lychee version 6.3 provides significant performance improvements by adding support for caching the API GET request. This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled in the settings.

If you would like to use redis as a cache driver, you can set the following values in your .env (or similar):

CACHE_DRIVER=redis REDIS_URL=redis://default:@127.0.0.1:6379 REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1 REDIS_PORT=6379 REDIS_PASSWORD=

We also recommend that you set in order to retain access to your logs if the redis connection is broken:

LOG_VIEWER_CACHE_DRIVER=file

v6.0.0

Released on Oct 26, 2024

Dropping Livewire for Vue3

When we released version 5, we did not realize how much of a mistake switching to Livewire was. Lychee's front-end became slow and sluggish, plagued with issues. Most of the time as a work around, we had to advise users to disable version 5 of the front-end by setting the environment variable LIVEWIRE_ENABLED=false.

With this in mind, at the end of June we came to the conclusion that we needed to build a new front-end from scratch. We decided to go with Vue3, as it is a more mature framework and has a lot of support. This marks the begining of the Lychee version 6.

For more context on those changes, see our blog posts:

Introducing Lychee SE

For the past few years, Lychee has been developed by a small group of people who have been working on it in their free time. We are proud to offer this software for free and we will continue to do so. However with time our team has decreased to the point where maintaining Lychee has become a challenge. We have been thinking about ways to keep Lychee alive, to be able to keep providing support, and to add more features.

We have come to the conclusion that we need to add a sponsor tier system. We have extended Lychee with a new version called SE (Supporter Edition) which will be available for our GitHub supporters. This SE version comes with enhanced features and configurations, helping us fund ongoing improvements while offering a bit extra to our supporters. The free version of Lychee will continue to be available but with a more streamlined feature set.

We strongly encourage you to check the full comparison between the free and supporter edition.
If you enjoy using Lychee, please consider supporting us.

Thank you for helping us keep Lychee alive and growing!

Important Docker Changes

If you are consuming Lychee via Docker, you will probably need to update your docker-compose.yml file. In order solve the issue of temporary folders in the container, we added an extra volume /lychee-tmp which by default with the updated docker-compose.yml will be mapped to ./lychee/tmp, see here.

This volume allows you to control the temporary folder and avoid the issue of running out of space in the container.

Changes

SE refers to functionalities that are aimed at the Supporter Edition.

  • new #106 : have "Search" on all views by @ildyria.
  • fixes #126 : Add (optional) lossless rotation by @ildyria.

    Add the ability to over-write the original image with a temporary backup if the image was rotated. All the smaller sizes are normalized but the original is reverted back. Effectively, this is not lossless rotation, this is just no rotation for the original.

  • fixes #226 SE : Add counters for total pictures and subalbums by @ildyria.

    We added a statistic page, allowing the users to check how much space they are using and the total number of pictures and album that are in the library.

  • new #520 SE : Show and limit the space used by @ildyria.

    We introduced a quota system, allowing the admin to set a limit on the space used by each user.

  • fixes #987 : Open image in new tab by @ildyria.

    With the switch to Vue3, this feature is now fully functional.

  • new #1420 : Album name in link preview by @ildyria.
  • new #1641 SE : User note (only available to admin) by @ildyria.

    Admin can now add notes to users. Those are only visible to the admin users.

  • fixes #1987 : No space left on device by @ildyria.

    This error was mostly due to having temporary folders in the containers but without any ability to empty them. We now provide a UI to clean those folders, furthermore, those can now be mapped to a host directory.

  • new #2082 : SEO optimization 1/3 - Setting <title> and <meta> tags by @ildyria.

    The title and meta tag are directly fetched from the album targetted by the link.

  • new #2086 : Feature request: light theme for Lychee by @ildyria.

    Lychee now comes also with a Light theme, the user no longer needs to tweak their custom.css as there is now a native support for both dark and light sides.

  • fixes #2168 : Universal Drag & Drop and Paste to upload no longer work when using Livewire by @ildyria.

    When moving to version 5, this functionality was lost. We now re-introduce it.

  • fixes #2194 : Change album cover picture creates a slide show of all the picture after the selected one by @ildyria.

    Version 5 had this annoying re-rendering of the album when changing the cover picture which was completely messed up. By switching to Vue3, this is now fixed.

  • fixes #2361 : Image selecting does not work on chrome + MacOS by @ildyria.

    One of the main complaints of MacOs user was that CTRL was also opening the context menu. We now support the CMD key for MacOs users, this should fix this issue.

  • fixes #2495 : Inverted date on album tiles with multiple months by @ildyria.

    We provide the ability to change the order of the dates displayed both in the thumbs and hero on albums, cathering to either user preferences.

  • dropped : API Documentation.

    We have decided to drop the API documentation end-point as it was not working anymore. Read more.

v5.1.1

Released on Jan 22, 2024

Thank you @qwerty287

It is with great regret that we see one of our core contributors leave for personal reasons. Their critical mind was really appreciated and they will be sorely missed. We wish them success in all their future endeavors.

Import From Dropbox

This functionality is back, you will need to add your token and authorize your app on dropbox. See more here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/saver

Redirection of legacy links

We now provide the possiblity to redirect when using old links such as https://lychee.test/#albumID/photoID. To enable this add LEGACY_V4_REDIRECT=true in your .env. Do note that this relies on a javascript hook and therefore page reload. If you did not share any links that way, leave as is. Default value is false.

  • fixes #2215 : Fix import from Dropbox from Livewire side by @ildyria.

You will need to register your app to those providers and get your client id and secret. Those should then be placed in your .env file. See .env.example for templates.

Note that Oauth is only usable once the user exists in Lychee database; it is not possible to register directly via Oauth.

v4.6.2

Released on Nov 12, 2022

IMPORTANT

  • This update contains an upgrade of U2F packages with a very different core, as a consequence any U2F credentials stored have been destroyed and will need to be registered again.

Changes

  • new #1519 : Adopt new modern dialog
  • fixes #1494 : Consolidate localization
  • new #1558 : Add option to skip diagnostic checks
  • new #1469 : Upgrade to Laravel 9 + switch to Laragear/WebAuthn
  • new #1564 : Add option to append tags
  • fixes #1581 : Fixes files installation if no Git repo is available
  • fixes #1478 : Fixes smart albums rights

v4.6.1

Released on Oct 08, 2022

IMPORTANT

  • This update contains a Security Update which fix multiple XSS vulnerability and update the Content Security Policy.
  • This update will drop the API key in favor of Authorization token. As a result, once the migration is applied the old API token won't work anymore.

Changes

  • new #1489 : Drop page support

    This functionality was not known by 99.9% of the users of Lychee. We decided to drop its support in favor of more targetted development in the core.

  • new #1443 : Add user and better structure to session json
  • new #1153 : Support for multi path on server import
  • fixes #1508 : Ensure that Admin rights are overloading others
  • fixes #1366 : Improve config options
  • fixes #1514 : 32 bits system improved support

    For 32bit systems and time-based, legacy IDs we must catch failing inserts due to duplicate legacy ID when insertions is running too fast. In the past it was sufficient to check for MySQL error codes 23000 and 23005 as integers and then pause for a short period of time.

  • fixes #1480 : Shared albums should not consider the require_link property.
  • new #1368 : Improve API client usability
  • fixes #1528 : Improve CSP and fix XSS vulnerability

    See advisories

v4.6.0

Released on Sep 04, 2022

IMPORTANT

Once the migration is applied, should you wish to rollback, you will need to reset your admin user otherwise it will not be possible to log as admin anymore.

Changes

  • new #1453 : Provide an ASCII fallback for multibyte filenames
  • new #1403 : Use Laravel Auth facade instead of home-brewed authentication layer

    This change will prevent the rollback as the Admin now follows proper username - hashed password values in the database (previously was hashed username and hashed value).

  • fixes #1472 : Fixes major bug with relation to Tag albums
  • fixes #1495 : Solve minor bugs in the installation procedure

v4.5.3

Released on Aug 07, 2022

IMPORTANT

  • The internal representation of Albums changed with version 4.5.0.
    We strongly recommend that you BACK UP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE UPDATING.
  • The folder structure changed for images; please check the required directory permissions.
    Read more here ».

Changes

  • new : New ID scheme. Albums and photos are migrated to a new ID scheme. Previously, albums and photos used time-based integer IDs. The new IDs are truly 144bit of randomness encoded in Base64 as a 24-character string; e.g., if your photo had the URL https://my-domain.tld/r/16102925744307/16102927818284 before, it may have the URL https://my-domain.tld/r/GTqZfSso3nPeCnTNW4ovisgC/jM6KkmlK7X0LtVas5MjrHtTO after the migration. This means, external links to your albums or photos will stop working. However, we implemented a redirection service. You can enable/disable the re-direction service under Settings > More > legacy_id_redirection. This gives you time to migrate any external reference to the new IDs. We also generate a log entry every time the redirection service is used. This log contains the legacy and new ID as well as information where the request came from. This may help you with the migration of your external links.

  • new : New folder structure for images:

    • Deep directory structure. Instead of all images of a certain kind residing in a single, flat directory (potentially containing thousands of files), we now have two additional two-letter directory levels under each kind (e.g., images are stored as medium/ba/d0/9a28ec995ead4877dfa1befa2d3b.jpg).
    • HiDPI (@2x) variants now reside in their own directories.
    • big has been renamed to original.

    Note that this only affects newly added photos; those added in the past are not moved to new locations. Also, see the note above about directory permissions.

  • new : Refactoring of the internal architecture and the representation of albums. While this didn't add any major new features, a number of optimizations have been put in place to speed up various operations, e.g., on installations with many hundreds of albums. Because this requires a particularly complex database migration, those with existing installations should pay attention to the note above about backing up their database.

  • new : Refactoring of error handling and reporting. This should result in more meaningful error messages both in the web front end and in the server logs (instead of the old cryptic "Server error or API not found" messages).

  • new :Refactoring of the file handling during upload/import. Instead of using temporary files and (re-)reading them many times, we now rely on file streams. This not only speeds up processing during upload/import (by around 50% in our tests), but is also an important step towards future support for the use of AWS S3 as image storage.

  • new : Addedfeatures in the web front end :

    • QR code added in the sharing menu.
    • GPX tracks can be added to albums for displaying together with photos on the map.
    • Drag/drop support added for albums and photos to facilitate more intuitive Move/Merge

  • new : ZIP compression level can now be changed and the compression can be disabled.

  • new : Support of Vietnamese language.

    • Send an email when new photos were added to albums that have been shared.
    • Use the laravel notification system to send via SMTP, env settings will need to be set up.
    • It is set to send out emails once a week via cron, so the laravel cron job would need to be set up.
    • Neither is required so if people don't want to set those up then it won't affect the operation of Lychee.
    • Add admin setting to toggle the notification option, which enables a user level menu item to change their email. This is purely opt-in, so users can clear their email if they don't wish to receive the emails anymore.
    • The email that gets sent out has been branded lychee, and will group the last week's worth of notifications and send them all out in one email to each user that has an email set up.

  • new #1071 : Avoid git rebase conflicts during development on other branches

  • fixes #932 : Public photos hidden

    It adds a new config variable public_photos_hidden, which defaults to 1 (preserving the current behavior). If set to 0, photos individually made public (rather than through an album) will be included in the results of a public search or in public tagged albums. Basically, they will no longer be treated as hidden (even though they still won't be findable through browsing; we could address that as well by making the Public smart album, well, public -- I welcome your input if we should, and if so, what to name the config variable to enabled that, other than public_public wink).

BREAKING CHANGE: REQUIRE PHP 7.4

  • fixes #783 : Can't rename tag album

    Tag-albums were not accessible by albums.getByID

    This rare bug was only triggered if a non-admin user was sharing an album with another user.

  • fixes #779 : Fixes some missing information on Tag Albums in the front end.
  • fixes #766 : It is no longer possible to use the 'photo rotation' functionality

    While the buttons are still accessible we now return an error instead of filling up the entire disk space of the server.

  • fixes #751 : In some rare instance, it was not possible to generate video thumbnails

    this is fixed. We try to reextract the 'aperture' property to get the thumbnail. We also added a warning in the case where FFmpeg was not enabled.

  • fixes #769 : when moving pictures in Image view, the second try resulted in failure

    we no longer clear the content of json.album when moving an image. This ensure that the required properties are still accessible

  • fixes : Settings are accessible in Image view

    There were rare sequence of events which prevented the settings view to open.

  • new : /Frame will now display a warning if no pictures are found.

    instead of staying a black screen, we now send an alert()

v4.0.7

Released Oct 9, 2020

  • fixes #584 : Albums that do not allow photo downloads cannot be included as enclosures.

    This checks album permissions before creating the enclosure to add to the feed.

  • new #616 : Add picture rotations

    As known improvements, this code will rotate all images.

  • fixes #621 ( #623 ) : Original migration from v3 is less prone to break
  • new #625 : Better new smart albums

    this allows the ability to add more smart albums and more flexibility in using them.

  • new #749 : Add webp support to the GD handler

v4.0.6

Released May 26, 2020

  • new #588 : add an option to the sync command to 're-sync' images that already exist.

    Since XMP sidecars are now allowed, images with the same checksum will not get updated metadata if the sidecar changes but the checksum remains the same. This adds an optional flag to the lychee:sync command that forces existing images with no change in checksum to get updated metadata from XMP files (if they exist). It only updates the image if the metadata read in differs from the metadata that the image aleady has.

  • new #599 : Added method to get the full path of albums.

    Specifically in the sharing screen, when albums are sometimes named the same (if they are organized by Year and Month), then it is impossible to tell which album you are actually sharing. This adds the ability to get the album's "full path" and sends it down for the sharing settings.

  • fixes #596 : Failing xmp file read results in fallback to native exif extraction.

    If the EXIF succeeds but sidecar fails, it reverts falls into the catch.

  • new #574 : Support of HEIC files and subsequently convert raw files (e.g. .NEF) into jpeg.

    if a raw file is imported such as .nef, php-imagick will try to generate a thumbnail jpeg for it. Note that the extension still needs to be added in your advanced settings.

    Important: Lychee was never meant to convert RAW files such as .nef, .cr2 .arw etc. If you shoot RAW, it is to be able to change exposure, dodge&burn, crop etc. later in a proper image processing software such as Lightroom, > Photoshop, Capture One, Luminar, Darktable … otherwise you better shoot JPEG. Lychee does not intend to provide those functionality.

  • new #594 : Add debug bar for dev install.

    It is disabled by default, even in debug mode. To enable it, set DEBUGBAR_ENABLED to true in your .env file.

  • new #579 : Ghostbuster command to clean up dead symlinks.

    The ghostbuster command also parses the database and see if some symlinks are dead. It will delete the photo from the database in such case. As this behaviour can modify the database, we disable it by default.

  • new #577 : Parse additional xmp sidecars files to update metadata.

    This reads in XMP sidecar files (if they exist). Thankfully, exiftool supports reading in sidecars, so we can use the same technique we're using to read the files. We merge both file and sidecar metadata, taking priority based on user settings (default to prefer image metadata)

  • fixes #581 : Undefined property errors when migrating from 3.1.6.

    The missing license, lens are now taken care off.

  • fixes #565 : No Dropbox Import with Lychee 4.0.0.

    The CSP was a bit too tight, preventing the execution of the script from dropbox.

v4.0.5

Released May 15, 2020

  • new #551 : Add RSS module.

    we provide a RSS feed, available at the /rss address. it will contains the last rss_max_items (default: 100) over the last rss_recent_days (default: 7) days.

  • fixes #557 : report files not imported by sync.

    When using the command lychee:sync if a file is not imported for some reason, the Log will contains more detailed information instead of just an error message.

  • fixes #550 : Version 4.0.4 database is not updated.

    Simply forgot to add the bump version.

  • fixes #460 : Wrong rotation of photos when imported from server via symlink.

    thumbnails are now also rotated in the proper direction.

v4.0.4

Released May 11, 2020

  • new #543 : More idiot proof safeties (and avoid some 404 errors complaints).
    • We add a check in the public directory that composer has indeed been run.
    • We add a check that if apache is being used, the rewrite module is enabled (avoid silly 404 error when redirected to /install).
  • new #541 : Better support for SQLite

    We create a file in database/database.sqlite to avoid issues in the case where some user decides to use this type of database without giving a path.

  • fixes #539 : Invalid exif geolocation causes db error

    We now check that the latitude is between -90 and 90 degrees, we also check that the longitude is between -180 and 180 degrees. Any other values are discarded.

  • fixes #533 : Add LYCHEE_UPLOADS_URL to secure-headers.php

    This allows the use allow images to be loaded from another server (CDN).

  • fixes #529 : Footer linkable.

    With the update to Laravel v7, the footer was not html html tags anymore. We fix this. This allows the use of links in the footer, for e.g. legal stuff in Germany.

  • fixes #525 : The config from the v3 was not migrated

    We now also migrates most of the configuration from the v3 if the lychee_settings table if found.

v4.0.3

Released April 29, 2020

  • fixes #498 remove Lychee-front version number alltogether

    add Diagnostic information:

    • Composer install type
    • release type (git vs release)
    • add button to allow migration for users using the release channel instead of master.
  • fixes #508

    Diagnostic was checking the existence of mysqli only if postgresql is not used. With the added support of SQLite we now thoroughly check each possibilities.

  • fixes #510

    add SQLite3 to the travis build check.

v4.0.2

Released April 22, 2020

  • fixes #488

    Error in the migration which made the script some files were existing.

  • fixes #485

    Align lychee-front version number, remove error when not provided.

  • fixes #487

    add missing files (css) to the installer.

  • new : "one click update"

    Admins can update their installation in one click in the Diagnostic interface if their installation has been done with git. This also support composer updates but this is more risqué.
