Changes in this patch release:

Important: If you're upgrading from v0.13.0 or v0.13.1 you might still be getting an error about not being able to start esearch. In that case please delete the bin/[PLATFORM]/elasticsearch folder found where you installed HPX and reinstall this update.

• fixed bottom drawer button in webclient not working
• fixed error occurring when adding galleries (note that galleries were still being added successfully, if they don't show up, please reindex your library)
• fixed an error occurring during indexing

Hello 😊 it's been a while. I hope you're doing well.

I think you will appreciate this release.

You might also notice that the releases has more than doubled in size. This is because a whole ElasticSearch installation is now also included. This is the cost of wanting everything to be plug and play, please don't mind it.

Highlights

• improved performance across the board 🚀
• Webclient improvements
• Working regex search
• Send galleries to the metadata queue after download 😍 no more manually fetching
