Version 2.3.0

RawCull Changelog: v2.3.0 → Latest Commits

🚀 Version 2.3.0

Updated on Apple App Store.

🧠 Photo Analysis

• Migrated focus masks, sharpness scoring, calibration, saliency analysis, and Vision feature prints to PhotoAnalysisKit.
• Added a RawCull adapter supporting embedded previews and demosaiced RAW inputs.
• Focus analysis now incorporates EXIF ISO, aperture, and autofocus-point information.
• Replaced RawCull’s local focus-analysis engine and Metal kernels with the reusable package implementation.
• Updated photo-type presets and quality settings to use PhotoAnalysisKit configurations.

🔍 Similarity Analysis

• Migrated similarity embeddings and distance calculations to PhotoAnalysisKit’s Vision feature-print backend.
• Replaced archived Vision observations with portable, Codable feature-print data.
• Updated the embedding pipeline to version 2.
• Continued applying subject-mismatch weighting when ranking visually similar images.

💾 Cache Management

• Redesigned Cache Settings with separate In Memory and On Disk sections.
• Added live cache sizes, item counts, configured limits, available memory, and storage paths.
• Added independent purge controls for:
  • Thumbnail cache
  • Full-size JPEG preview cache
  • Burst analysis cache
• Added confirmation dialogs and progress indicators while clearing caches.
• Added disk-usage reporting and full clearing support for burst-analysis snapshots.

📸 Burst Review

• Added an animated progress counter during sharpness scoring and similarity indexing.
• Added estimated time remaining for burst analysis.
• Integrated progress directly into the Burst Home status banner.
• Improved progress accessibility with completed and total counts plus ETA descriptions.
• Moving to the next burst now automatically defers the current group when it has no explicit rating.
• Explicit ratings—including rejected and zero-star ratings—prevent automatic deferral.
• Removed the separate Set pick action from the burst workspace.

🧪 Testing and Reliability

• Added PhotoAnalysisKit integration coverage.
• Expanded sharpness, calibration, cache-purging, cancellation, and burst-navigation tests.
• Added tests ensuring only genuinely unrated burst groups are automatically deferred.
• Updated the test target for Swift 6 with complete strict-concurrency checking.
• Applied SwiftLint cleanup across the new integration.

📚 Documentation

• Reworked the README with updated architecture, dependency responsibilities, analysis pipelines, caching, testing, and build information.
• Added documentation covering the PhotoAnalysisKit integration and future AI architecture.
• Removed obsolete documentation and legacy README images.

⚠️ Upgrade Notes

• Existing similarity embeddings use the previous pipeline format and must be regenerated.
• Legacy sharpness-cache signatures remain readable but are treated as stale, causing analysis to be rebuilt.
• The project identifies itself as 2.3.0, but a v2.3.0 Git tag has not yet been created.
