Release v2.1.1

Release v2.1.1 (2026-05-16)

Indexly v2.1.1 is a production-hardening release focused on backup restore safety, observer reliability, compare workflows, organizer/lister behavior, rename collision handling, and image metadata coverage.

Highlights

• Backup restore now includes local verification and dry-run restore workflows.
• Incremental backup restore selects the correct base more reliably.
• Restore safety checks allow temp-root registries while continuing to block unsafe external temp archives.
• Semantic observers are more stable, with persisted snapshots and graceful fallback when home paths are unwritable.
• Compare, organizer, lister, and rename workflows have tighter handling around profiles, caches, counters, and database synchronization.
• BMP image metadata extraction is handled consistently with the broader image metadata pipeline.

Reliability Fixes

• Hardened backup restore validation, registry handling, and cryptography dependency coverage.
• Stabilized lister root handling, cache fallback behavior, organizer execution, and profile-specific flags.
• Reserved implicit rename counters for collision cases and avoided reapplying existing date prefixes.
• Hardened rename database synchronization when handing renamed files to organizer workflows.
• Improved compare workflow resilience for file and folder comparisons.

Documentation

• Updated organizer documentation for lister cache and fallback behavior.
• Refreshed release metadata, changelog data, and documentation hub highlights for v2.1.1.
