Full Release Notes
# đ´đ´đ´đ´đ´đ´ The newest version of Mealie includes several new features and quality of life improvements. We've also got five first-time contributors in this release! ### âšī¸ IMPORTANT NOTICE Included in this release we [updated our image processing algorithm](https://github.com/mealie-recipes/mealie/pull/5883) to improve image quality and compression (thanks @1-tempest!). This improves all _new_ images added to Mealie moving forward. If you'd like to reprocess your _existing_ images, we've included a user script: ```shell docker exec -it mealie bash python /opt/mealie/lib64/python3.12/site-packages/mealie/scripts/reprocess_images.py ``` More information [in the docs](https://docs.mealie.io/documentation/getting-started/updating/), including some configuration options to speed things up if you have stronger hardware. This process could take several minutes depending on how many recipes you have (and your hardware). ## đ Highlights - Updated image processing algorithm improving image quality and compression - You can now choose a snack, drink, and dessert in your meal planner ## ⨠New features - feat: Put calendar directly in the date picker dialogs @noxhirsch (#6110) - feat: Add snack, drink, and dessert @cashpw (#6149) - feat: frontend autocomplete is diacritics/ligatures insensitive @Noneangel (#6169) - feat: Improve Image Minification Logic and Efficiency @1-tempest (#5883) - feat: Reprocess image user script @michael-genson (#6704) - feat: Improve startup workflow UI @miah120 (#6342) - feat: autofill default credentials on first login @hay-kot (#6666) - feat: Add user QueryFilter and improve UI on mobile @p0lycarpio (#6235) - feat: Suggest HTML importer on URL importer failure @michael-genson (#6685) ## đ Bug fixes - fix: change log rotation size from 10kb to 10mb @hay-kot (#6648) - fix: clear cached store data on logout to prevent user data leakage @hay-kot (#6665) - fix: improve password manager autofill compatibility on login page @henricook (#6662) - fix: Reprocess script UUID handling for postgres @michael-genson (#6705) ## 𧰠Maintenance <details> <summary>14 changes</summary> - chore(l10n): New Crowdin updates @hay-kot (#6649) - chore(l10n): New Crowdin updates @hay-kot (#6653) - chore(l10n): New Crowdin updates @hay-kot (#6661) - chore(l10n): New Crowdin updates @hay-kot (#6671) - chore(l10n): Crowdin locale sync @github-actions (#6672) - chore(l10n): New Crowdin updates @hay-kot (#6675) - chore(auto): Update pre-commit hooks @github-actions (#6680) - chore(l10n): New Crowdin updates @hay-kot (#6678) - chore(l10n): New Crowdin updates @hay-kot (#6686) - chore(l10n): New Crowdin updates @hay-kot (#6689) - chore(l10n): New Crowdin updates @hay-kot (#6693) - chore(l10n): New Crowdin updates @hay-kot (#6694) - chore(l10n): New Crowdin updates @hay-kot (#6697) - chore(l10n): New Crowdin updates @hay-kot (#6701) </details> ## đ Documentation - docs: add theming examples to backend configuration guide @n-winspear (#6443) ## đ¨ Internal development - dev: Add `copilot-instructions.md` @michael-genson (#6659) ## âŦī¸ Dependency updates <details> <summary>17 changes</summary> - chore(deps): update dependency ruff to v0.14.8 @renovate (#6655) - fix(deps): update dependency fastapi to v0.123.8 @renovate (#6640) - fix(deps): update dependency openai to v2.9.0 @renovate (#6656) - fix(deps): update dependency fastapi to v0.123.9 @renovate (#6657) - fix(deps): update dependency fastapi to v0.123.10 @renovate (#6660) - fix(deps): update dependency fastapi to v0.124.0 @renovate (#6664) - fix(deps): update dependency orjson to v3.11.5 @renovate (#6667) - chore(deps): update dependency pytest to v9.0.2 @renovate (#6670) - fix(deps): update dependency apprise to v1.9.6 @renovate (#6677) - chore(deps): update dependency coverage to v7.13.0 @renovate (#6683) - chore(deps): update node.js to 9a2ed90 @renovate (#6684) - fix(deps): update dependency sqlalchemy to v2.0.45 @renovate (#6687) - fix(deps): update dependency recipe-scrapers to v15.11.0 @renovate (#6691) - fix(deps): update dependency fastapi to v0.124.2 @renovate (#6688) - fix(deps): update dependency openai to v2.11.0 @renovate (#6696) - chore(deps): update dependency ruff to v0.14.9 @renovate (#6699) - chore(deps): update node.js to 20988bc @renovate (#6698) </details> ## đ New Contributors * @cashpw made their first contribution in https://github.com/mealie-recipes/mealie/pull/6149 * @Noneangel made their first contribution in https://github.com/mealie-recipes/mealie/pull/6169 * @1-tempest made their first contribution in https://github.com/mealie-recipes/mealie/pull/5883 * @n-winspear made their first contribution in https://github.com/mealie-recipes/mealie/pull/6443 * @henricook made their first contribution in https://github.com/mealie-recipes/mealie/pull/6662 # đ´đ´đ´đ´đ´đ´
