Release notes.

New Features

Iris is now better at noticing when your media changes and refreshes it automatically.

• Files edited on disk in a folder Source are detected and reprocessed — thumbnails, EXIF, and ML output are regenerated.
• Edited Apple Photos assets are detected and reprocessed as well.
• Items you delete outside of Iris from a folder Source or Apple Photos library are also removed from Iris.
• New "Refresh" item added to the Source context menu to manually rescan a Source. (Thanks, JH)

Open Items in other Applications

• Added new "Open" (⌘O) and "Open With..." commands to the "Item" menu that let you open the selected Item in an external app. (Thanks, GM)

Alternate app icons

• Escape from Squircle Jail 🎉 Choose from additional app icons from the Special preferences pane. (Thanks, MG)

Put Faces in the macOS Dock

• Turn on the new "Show Faces in Dock" preference in Settings → Special. Then, you can add pictures of your favorite people to the Dock. Why? Why not.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Re-open the Status Window on launch if previously open. (Thanks, AB)

• Fixed grid/map/list and inspector tab menu items being enabled when they weren't actually available.
• Correctly count the number of times a person appears "Alone" when viewing their statistics.

• Uses the correct Apple Photos capture date when reprocessing changed assets.
• Deceased names are now hidden from an item's "On This Day." (Thanks, MJ)
• Deceased names are now hidden from the "Add to Person" menu. (Thanks, MJ)

This update is focused on fixing crashes found in the first release. Thank you to everyone who has been reporting them.

• Crash could occur when a photo contained non-numeric characters in the EXIF date.
• Crash would occur when performing an advanced search and using "Starts with" or "Contains" on an item's "Filename".
• Crash could occur when scrolling the grid view and quickly switching sidebar nodes.
