Platform Enhancements

Search & filtering:

  • Transcription search functionality enables searching within transcribed content

  • Extension-based filtering now available for organizing assets by file type

  • New search implementation substantially faster for drives of all sizes

Collaboration & organization:

  • Collections feature rolled out with custom icon and background customization

  • SCIM directory sync added for permissions management at scale

  • Drive templates introduced for custom metadata attribute management

  • Improved onboarding, especially for bring-your-own S3 configurations

Reliability: Fixed high-latency issues that could cause web uploads to fail on publish links, improving overall upload reliability.

Infrastructure & Media Processing

Job completion times are now consistently maintained below target threshold through autoscaling infrastructure. Facial recognition processing speed has been substantially improved, and we've improved handling of unusual or invalid asset types with multiple optimization fixes.

ShadeFS Performance

The downloader continues to improve with faster transfer speeds. We've made massive backend scaling improvements that enable support for larger drives and continued improvements to sync with expanded support for edge cases.
