[digiKam-users] 6.0.0-beta1 tarball for testing...

[Pioter Gmoter]

I see. But the 5.x series have serious problems with video thumbnails generation, and time shifting (two hours with every video downloaded from SD card). 6.0 at least resolved the problem with video thumbs generation.

And only 5.6 is available as native on 18.04 kubuntu. Looks like Phill dropped the maintenance of DK packages for ubuntu family.

I have used DK6 on my production DB (well, the only one I have) and no disaster so far, so I guess the changes are quite stable.

Hm, what about situation where I run once 5.6, and once 6.0? Similarity
feature on the 5.6 version is gone? I don't see any side effects
considered that database schema has changed.

No. only the previous fingerprints registered in 5.x database are dropped. The feature still here, but will require to rebuild all fingerprints at the right place in DB.

In all cases, make a DB backup :

1/ 6.0.0-beta1 is... beta with possible bugs. Do not use yet in production.
2/ 6.0.0-beta1 introduce big changes in source code and introduce new important features. All possible side effects are not yet evaluated.
3/ 6.0.0-beta1 come with more than 330 file closed in bugzilla. We hope to not break something somewhere. It's not possible to check all combinaisons.
