## Enhancements
- Newly detected variants of an original will now replace it in the workspace view if no other variants exist, yet
- Application restarts due to memory-overuse are now treated as βcrashesβ, allowing to send a crash report for debugging the cause of the high memory use
- macOS/Linux: Metadata/thumbnail cache format files and library catalog files are now written to disk, avoiding potential data loss on non-journalling file systems in case of system crashes or irregularly detached storage drives
## Bug fixes
- Fixed a crash for PSD files for which loading the advertise compatibility image data fails
- Fixed grayscale images with more than 8-bit precision to not be truncated to 8-bit
- Fixed a possible crash caused by truncated EXIF data in JXL or PSD files
- Fixed a possible crash when viewing zero-pixel sized images or non-images in details view
- Fixed a too low memory overuse barrier causing unneeded application restarts on systems with 8 GB or less RAM
Feel free to leave any feedback here or in the [bug reports](https://community.bildhuus.com/t/bug-reports) sub forum. Thanks for helping to shape a new way of organizing photos!

This update instantly crashes on me. It automatically reboots, in unable to send an error report, then crashing again. Iβve had to hard end the program using windows task manager.

Thanks for the heads up, I finally found the issue on an older Windows laptop! Iβm preparing a new build now.
