All notable changes to Local Lens will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[2.3.0] - 2026-04-03

Fixed

  • Fixed critical backend crash on macOS Apple Silicon (M-series) caused by numpy dependency incompatibility.
  • Resolved Tauri auto-updater code signing failures during the build process.
  • Hardened PyInstaller build spec to properly bundle native C-extensions.

Added

  • Added background backend smoke tests in CI/CD pipeline to verify build integrity prior to packaging.

[2.2.1] - 2025-12-31

Added

  • Homebrew Cask Support: macOS users can now install via brew install ashesbloom/locallens/local-lens
    • Homebrew automatically handles Gatekeeper - no manual steps needed
    • Auto-generated cask formula included in each release
  • macOS Gatekeeper Fix Script: Fix_Local_Lens.command included in releases
    • Double-click to automatically remove quarantine, apply ad-hoc signature, and set permissions
    • Supports both /Applications and ~/Applications install locations
  • Improved release notes with clear macOS installation instructions

Changed

  • Updated README with Quick Install section for all platforms
  • Release workflow now generates Homebrew cask formula automatically
  • Enhanced macOS installation documentation with multiple fix options

Fixed

  • Fixed macOS "App is damaged" error by providing proper workarounds
  • Fixed path escaping issues in terminal commands (use quotes instead of backslashes)

[2.2.0] - 2025-12-24

Added

  • macOS Support (Apple Silicon): Full native support for M1/M2/M3 Macs
    • DMG installer for easy installation
    • Auto-updater support for macOS
  • Cross-Platform GitHub Actions: Automated CI/CD builds for both Windows and macOS
  • Custom save preset modal dialog (replaces browser prompt that didn't work on macOS)
  • Health check endpoint for reliable backend startup detection

Changed

  • macOS Build Architecture:
    • PyInstaller now uses one-folder mode on macOS for faster startup (avoids extracting 140MB on every launch)
    • Smart wrapper script detects development vs production environment
    • Backend bundle stored in app Resources folder
  • RAW image processing now uses ImageMagick (Wand) on macOS/Linux instead of rawpy
  • Improved backend startup with retry logic and health checks
  • Updated Tauri configuration for cross-platform resource handling

Fixed

  • Fixed "With Others" folder incorrectly created when photos only contained unknown faces
  • Fixed face enrollment not loading on app startup
  • Fixed save preset dialog not appearing on macOS (Tauri doesn't support browser prompt())
  • Fixed multiprocessing freeze issue in PyInstaller builds (added freeze_support())
  • Fixed sidecar executable not found in macOS .app bundle

Technical Notes

  • Python 3.11 required (dlib compatibility)
  • macOS users: First launch requires right-click → Open to bypass Gatekeeper
  • Windows build process unchanged - existing installations will auto-update normally
