Release 0.10 ("Bellingham")

2018-05-02

We're happy to announce Perkeep version 0.10, arriving about one year (too long!) after our last release. It's named after Bellingham, WA, home of LinuxFest Northwest, where Mathieu and Brad just met up in person and gave a talk on Perkeep. [slides] [video].

This is our first release with the name Perkeep since we renamed the project from Camlistore.

Some notable highlights of 0.10 include:

• New name, new mascot (thanks, @AshleyMcnamara!)
• Map view in the web UI
• Initial support for iOS HEIC images
• Migration from SHA-1 to SHA-224 blobs

See below for the more complete list.

Docker

This is our first release with an official Docker image. It contains the server and client binaries, but comes with no documentation. We assume for now that you know Docker enough to use it:

$ docker pull gcr.io/perkeep-containers/perkeep:0.10

Android

Our Android app has been updated on the Google Play store.
