Release 0.6 ("Cannon Beach")

2013-12-25

Happy Holidays! Sorry, it's been over 3 months since our last release, but it's worth it. This release is awesome.

I'm giving this release the codename "Cannon Beach", where I've done a bunch of hacking on Camlistore over the years, and in the past few months.

What is Camlistore?

See the docs and overview.

New in 0.6

• New beautiful web UI with infinite scroll of photos
• Search! Search by tag, photo location (using GPS info in JPEG EXIF + geocoding lookups), photo orientation, size, format, ...
• Websocket-based live updating of search results (see new photos appear on the web as they're uploaded from Android or other clients)
• Notable bug fixes: corruption fix for cznic/kv (for the "kvfile" index type), fd open/close race in diskpacked, etc.
• camlistored --reindex
• Start of OS X GUI and iPhone app. (no binary releases yet)
• Bunch of internal cleanups

My apologies if I forgot something in this summary.

Get involved!

We welcome feedback, feature requests, bug reports, and code contributions!

Feel free to email us on our mailing list, and/or file a bug (or see existing bugs).

While we welcome user bug reports, we also welcome code contributions. See the Contributing page for details. While most the codebase (the server and command-line tools) are written in Go, there's also a lot of JavaScript which needs love, as well as Java (for Android) and Objective C (for OS X and iOS). Or anything useful you'd like to contribute.
