Release Notes · August 20, 2026

Noodle Gallery v5.4.0

The face release. Recognition is deliberately cautious — a wrong assignment is far harder to untangle than one it never made, so it leaves the doubtful calls unmade and quietly misses a lot of close ones. This release bridges that gap from both ends: Face Suggestions brings the near-misses back to you on the person page, and Face Cleanup finds the clusters that did get mixed up and lets you re-home every face. Both now run on one shared verdict layer, so a decision made in either is permanent and respected by the other. Alongside them, contextual filters turn the viewer’s info panel into a filtering surface, and Shared Spaces close a round of collection gaps across web and mobile.

Add to a Space Album from Anywhere

Adding a photo to an album inside a Shared Space used to depend on which screen you started from, and web and mobile disagreed about which screens worked.

Shared-Space Album Sorting, Unified

Space albums gain the full set of seven sort options on both web and mobile, including a new "Recently linked" that orders by when the album was brought into the space — now the default,…

Optional Derivative Storage Accounting

Storage usage can now count what a library physically occupies — originals plus thumbnails and transcodes — rather than only the originals.
