📄 Full Changelog

v1.11.8...v1.11.9

v1.11.8

==== 🇧🇷｜Português Brasil ====

Notas de Lançamento — v1.11.8

Destaques

• Novo fluxo de edição com IA: botões "Editar com IA", "Gerar variação" e "Criar nova imagem" disponíveis para imagens recebidas e compartilhadas.
• Opção de copiar imagens preservando qualidade enquanto aplicamos compressão seletiva em metadados EXIF, reduzindo tamanho sem perder dados essenciais.
• Aperfeiçoamos o service worker para ignorar requisições /api/ai/image, garantindo respostas em tempo real da IA.
• Refinamos a compressão de metadados EXIF em arquivos baixados/compartilhados, mantendo informações críticas e removendo redundâncias.
• Melhorias gerais de estabilidade, traduções e logs para depuração do fluxo de IA.

O que mudou

• Adicionamos ai-image-client.js para consumir o endpoint /api/ai/image e converter respostas em arquivos reutilizáveis.
• Botões de IA aparecem automaticamente quando imagens são enviadas ou recebidas; o diálogo de recebimento compartilha thumbnails com o novo botão "Editar com IA".
• Ajustamos o botão "Copiar imagem" para respeitar o novo pipeline de compressão de EXIF, entregando imagens leves sem sacrificar qualidade perceptível.
• Service worker ignora /api/** e responde a Web Share Targets sem interferir nas chamadas de IA.
• Traduções atualizadas em múltiplos idiomas para os novos textos de IA e para mensagens relacionadas à cópia/metadata.

Como atualizar

1. Limpe caches do navegador ou force a atualização do service worker (Ctrl+Shift+R) para carregar os novos assets (cacheVersion v1.11.8).
2. Verifique a presença da variável de ambiente POE_API_KEY no backend para habilitar a geração de imagens via IA.
3. Revise integrações que dependem do botão "Copiar imagem" ou de compressão de arquivos para garantir compatibilidade com a nova política de metadados.

Agradecimentos

Obrigado por acompanhar o desenvolvimento contínuo do ErikrafT Drop! Feedbacks sobre a nova versão e as extensões 9.0.5 são muito bem-vindos.

Release Notes — v1.11.8

Highlights

• Brand-new AI editing flow: "Edit with AI", "Generate variation", and "Create new image" buttons are now available for shared and received images.
• Copy Image keeps visual fidelity while applying selective EXIF metadata compression, shrinking payloads without stripping critical fields.
• Service worker now bypasses /api/ai/image so AI responses are fetched live without redirection issues.
• Enhanced EXIF compression pipeline for downloads/shares to remove redundant metadata but keep important camera information.
• General stability, localization, and logging improvements around the AI experience.

What's Changed

• Added ai-image-client.js to consume the /api/ai/image endpoint and transform AI outputs into reusable File objects.
• AI buttons auto-display for image-only shares/receives; the receive dialog now exposes "Edit with AI" alongside thumbnail previews.
• Updated the "Copy image" button to comply with the new EXIF compression policy, keeping images lightweight with intact essential metadata.
• Service worker skips /api/** requests and still processes Web Share Targets without interfering with AI calls.
• Localization files refreshed across multiple languages for the new AI and copy/metadata strings.

How to update

1. Clear browser caches or hard-refresh the service worker (Ctrl+Shift+R) to load the new assets (cacheVersion v1.11.8).
2. Ensure the POE_API_KEY environment variable is present on the backend to enable AI image generation.
3. Validate any automations that rely on "Copy image" or metadata-heavy workflows to align with the refined EXIF compression defaults.
