Bi-Weekly Release: HEIC/HEIF support, bug fixes, A3 progress

Official Announcements
#1

Current Focus

We’ve been maintaining our focus on A3 development, with more folks than usual committing to the code base. We’re hoping to provide more context into the details of our A3 work over the next few release cycles, so stay tuned for details to come. Meanwhile, we’ve added support for HEIC/HEIF images in A2, which is the default image format on iOS. These will automatically be converted to JPEG on upload :beers:. Checkout the full release notes below for other bug fixes and improvements.
