Note: If you are updating from v570 or earlier and you use the Windows or Linux .zip or .tar.zst 'Extract' releases, you have to do a clean install one time to get v571 or later! (https://github.com/hydrusnetwork/hydrus/releases/tag/v571, https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/getting_started_installing.html#clean_installs). If you are a Windows installer/macOS App/source user, you do not need to do a clean install to get over the v570->v571 bump; just update as normal.

I had a good week. The database has some new repair tech, and the new default twitter downloader now gets full-size images. The update this week may take a minute due to some database maintenance.

highlights

For some time, some users who sync with the PTR have had sporadic '404' errors that interrupt downloading/processing. We never pinned down exactly what was causing or fixing this (a bunch of different maintenance routines seemed to fix it eventually) until this past week. Long story short is there was a SQLite issue that was crossing a wire on some program crashes, and a bunch of new repair code now detects and fixes this situation. Several rare 'this file appears to be this file' issues are fixed as a result. Your 'local hashes cache' will do some work on update, but the new code should run pretty fast, so even if you have millions of files, it shouldn't take too long to finish. If you have had PTR syncing problems, please try unpausing after updating this week--while it may fail one more time, the new repair code should be able to fix it now. Let me know how you get on!

I screwed up the new default twitter downloader last week--it was not getting the full-size versions of images! This is fixed today, so if you spammed a bunch of tweet URLs last week, please do this to fix it: do a search for 'imported within the last 7 days/has a twitter tweet url/height=1200px' and then copy/paste the results' tweet URLs into a new urls downloader page. The full-size images should download. Once done, assuming the file count is the same on both pages, go back to your first search page and delete the 1200px tall files. Then repeat for 'system:width=1200px'! Sorry for the trouble!

If some of your files get an odd colour tint, is it always on files under 'system:file properties->has icc profile'? If so, try unchecking the new 'apply image ICC Profile colours adjustments' checkbox under options->media. Let me know what you see.

next week

I blinked and it is May already. I think I have four more releases before my vacation week, and it feels like I haven't done anything, so I'd like to get a larger job done. I want to try the first framework of an automatic duplicate pair resolver.
