Release notes not mentioning docker compose file changes
Dear immich community
is there an easy way to find out if Docker compose file has changed with a new release?
Up to now, I always download the latest YML file and compare it to my existing one, but I find this a bit cumbersome.
It would be great if there was a separate line in the release notes saying like "you can re-use the YML file from last release" or "must use the latest".

Okay, great. So no news are good news and otherwise you will let us know.
Thanks a lot for the fast response and for the great work you do👏🙏✌️
just make sure to read the github release notes for all the updates you are updating to
ie if going from 1.125 to 1.128 you should look at 1.128, 1.127, 1.126
Yes, right. This is what I do anyway.
Just noticed a few releases ago (can't remember which one) the database image name changed. But I suppose this was not a breaking change then.
If you really want to watch the file at all times, just look at the changed date top right:
https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/main/docker/docker-compose.yml

Oh, right!
And just found that clicking the clock icon shows the history details! Very useful!
Thanks a lot!
