Hello everybody,

From the blog: Hello, Chevereto V5

Added password hide/show toggle to login and signup forms

Password field for login and signup now shows an "eye" icon enabling to view the password you have just entered. There's also a button now for all this kind of form boxes (no more arrow right circle button).

Improved "Create album" button for user profile

The button now display the label "Create album", making it easier to locate and understand.

Removed password strength meter bar and message

Dropped the client-side password strength indicator (progress bar + accompanying message) from the signup/password form.

Fixed translation placeholders for "album"

Placeholders for album have been normalized for the plural form, this way translations work better with translations with several plural forms.

Fixed race condition bug on JavaScript image load

Resolved a race condition in the image viewer that could cause progressive loading to get stuck on the blurry placeholder when loading large images with no maximum file size limit configured. This occasionally triggered a TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'is_360') in CHV.fn.viewerLoadImage. Most commonly seen on setups using external object storage (e.g., S3, Cloudflare R2) with the "Image load max. filesize (MB)" setting left unset under Dashboard > Settings > Theme.

Many thanks to @user_83d32 for reporting this.
