Version 11.0.0 - 14.02.2026r

Breaking changes

Users

  • The Czkawka GUI config file was migrated from a custom, broken format to JSON. All settings must be configured again. The old TXT file is not removed and can be used as a reference.
  • In broken files mode, file type is no longer stored in cache. Existing cache files are incompatible with this version and will be automatically regenerated.
  • The Similarity Preset enum in similar images mode was replaced with an integer argument Max Difference in range 0-40.
  • HEIF images are now rotated only once instead of twice. Existing cache may contain incorrectly rotated images and should be regenerated by removing cache(but this requires manual intervention).

Devs

  • Public API functions were slightly adjusted to avoid unnecessary cloning and referencing of copyable types.
  • Similarity variables were renamed to Difference.
  • Applications must call register_image_decoding_hooks(); at startup to enable reading HEIF and JXL images.
