Single change log post/file
« on: June 15, 2025, 03:00:51 AM »
It would be great to have a single post or link to a document with all changes in the new version of PM, rather than having to click through the different releases to see which features have been added/bugs corrected. This would be especially relevant to those users that prefer a perpetual license (like me) and check the list of new features to decide if and when it would be appropriate to update.

This post could look something like
Code: [Select]
Version 2025.6 Build 8612 (June 5, 2025)
• Added: Uploader for new Zenfolio API.
• Added: {filesizebytes} / {sizb} shows file size in exact bytes.
• Added: Preference to enable/disable Recent items in metadata dialog popup menus.
...

Version 2025.1 Build 7955 (January 2, 2025)
• Added: Option to automatically reload Code Replacement files when they are updated.
• Added: {parentfolder} variable for retrieving the name parent of the image's folder.
...
Version 2024.10 Build 7907 (October 30, 2024)
• Added: Metadata dialogs now maintain a list of recent items in the popup menus on the right side of most metadata fields. This feature was previously only present in the Plus edition and is now present in the Standard edition.
• Added: PLUS Other Constraints field, useful with the PLUS Data Mining field.
...

Version 2024.8 Build 7765 (August 26, 2024)
• Added: Data Mining field in the Metadata dialogs where you can state your preference for allowing data mining of your photos, for example to block Generative AI training.
...

Note: Currently I have identified for myself two new relevant features (automatically reloading code replacements and the data mining field). But they do not yet add sufficient value to me to buy a new license. So I am still monitoring for new features and relevant bug corrections (currently I am not affected by any bugs).

The ReadMe.pdf that comes with each installer has the entire release history in it.  A license is not necessary for downloading and installing the build.  One only needs a license to run the program.

We could make the ReadMe.pdf files available for download in the announcements.  I'll start doing that with the next release.
