## [v5.0.0] - 2023-04-16

Note: this is a major release and may introduce breaking changes to your workflow.

- **Feature**: You can now configure Memories from the admin panel.  
  To access the admin panel, go to the admin settings and click on the "Memories" tab.
- **Breaking**: The `memories:video-setup` command has been removed.  
  Transcoding with or without hardware acceleration must now be configured from the admin panel.  
  For running an external go-vod instance, specifying a configuration file is no longer required.
- **Breaking**: The transcoder and exiftool binaries will be copied to the temp directory before execution.  
  Make sure your temp directory is writable by the web server.
- **Breaking**: The `--cleanup` flag to `memories:index` has been removed and is no longer necessary.  
  Folders having a `.nomedia` file will automatically be excluded from the timeline.
- **Feature**: Indexing will now build and check indices automatically in the backgroud.  
  Make sure Nextcloud cron is configured correctly. You can disable automatic indexing in the admin panel.
  Note that files are still indexed immediately on upload.
- **Feature**: You can now choose which folders to index by default.  
  This can be configured from the admin panel. The available options are:
  - All media files (excluding folders with `.nomedia` files, default and recommended)
  - All files in every user's configured timeline folder (not recommended).
  - All files in a given folder for each user (relative path).
- **Feature**: You can now run indexing in parallel on multiple threads.  
  `for i in {1..4}; do (occ memories:index &); done`
- **Feature**: Image editing is now done server-side, and is much faster and more reliable.
  - PHP Imagick extension is now required for image editing.
  - This fixes multiple issues editing images especially in Firefox.
- **Feature**: Significant performance improvements for the timeline view.

## [v4.13.1] - 2023-04-03

- **Feature**: "Direct" video playback will now fall back to HLS (transcoding) if playback fails (e.g. due to lack of browser support).

## [v4.13.0] - 2023-04-03

- **Feature**: Use GPS location data for timezone calculation.  
  Many cameras do not store the timezone in EXIF data. This feature allows Memories to use the GPS location data to calculate the timezone. To take advantage of this, you will need to run `occ memories:places-setup` followed by `occ memories:index --clear` (or `occ memories:index -f`) to reindex your photos.
- **Feature**: You can now specify the user and/or folder to index when running `occ memories:index` ([#184](https://github.com/pulsejet/memories/issues/184)).
