Bulk importer support Google Photos format already, and in 3.17 it supports more Metadata formats.

I see, didn't think of google takeout
There's an additional release note.
- Deprecated album thumbs on listings (performance)
I've removed the small thumbs shown below each album on listings as the query became very expensive when the album holds lots of images. This caused a severe performance problem making the system unusable under the described use case. For now I've removed the functionality and the query, which nows only makes a reference query for the album cover id.
Perhaps I add this later on by using a cache strategy for these images, but for now I will remove it to avoid interruptions in production systems.

Sure. Just be sure to follow the guidelines posted in the beta section.

Just wondering, will it be possible to change cover images of albums in future versions?

call me blind, but, uhm, where do I find the option?
I've withdraw the following feature that was previously announced for 3.17:
- Improved third-party login system
I don't see any relevant interest in this and I don't think that is any efficient to re-do login for V3 then do it again for V4. Due to that, I won't work in improving the third-party login providers for V3 and I will just skip it for V4. There are many systems that require more attention at this time, specially image processing which is now mission critical for me to fix within this year.

Today I got an email from Google about "Google will discontinue support for sign-ins to Google accounts from embedded browser frameworks, starting January 4, 2021." The email also stated the one I am currently using for my site is affected. Will this affect Chevereto Google sign in?
Chevereto uses OAUTH 2. Is not affected, at all.Today I got an email from Google about "Google will discontinue support for sign-ins to Google accounts from embedded browser frameworks, starting January 4, 2021."

I'm fine with this decission. Third-party login may be convenient to some degree but also offers the risk of loosing access to an arbitrary number of services when a login provider is shut down/hacked or the like.

I wanted to ask a question about nested albums behaviour: just updated and tried this feature (was looking forward to that one for a looong time!)
So, if I create sub-album and move some images from parent album into it, they dissapear from count and are not displayed in a parent album (probably expected behaviour as image currently can't belong to multiple albums), but this creates a problem - if all images from a parent album belong to subalbums - it shows 0 images and no album image cover in album listing, giving an impression of no content lurking underneath.
Probably more expected would be to display all public images from all sub-albums?
