Back to school, and Fractal is back too! The leaves are starting to cover the floor 
in our part of the globe, but you don’t have to shake a tree to get our goodness:
- We switched to the glycin library (the same one used by GNOME Image Viewer) to load images, allowing us to fix several issues, like supporting more animated formats and SVGs and respecting EXIF orientation.
- The annoying bug where some rooms would stay as unread even after opening them is now a distant memory.
- The media cache uses its own database that you can delete if you want to free some space on your system. It will also soon be able to clean up unused media files to prevent it from growing indefinitely.
- Sometimes the day separators would show up with the wrong date, not anymore!
- We migrated to the new GTK 4.16 and libadwaita 1.6 APIs, including CSS variables, AdwButtonRow and AdwSpinner.
As usual, this release includes other improvements, fixes and new translations thanks to all our contributors, and our upstream projects.
It is available to install via Flathub Beta, see the instructions in our README.
As the version implies, there might be a slight risk of regressions, but it should be mostly stable. If all goes well the next step is the release candidate!
If you have a little bit of time on your hands, you can try to fix one of our newcomers issues. Anyone can make Fractal better!
