## Version 6

### v6.8.0

Released on Aug 17, 2025

### Tags refactoring, pinned albums and more!

This release marks a significant change in the way tags are handled in Lychee. Before, tags were stored as a single string, comma-separated in the database.
Now the tags are stored in their own table and linked to the photos via a many-to-many relationship. This change allows us to provide autocomplete for the tags,
and also provide a more efficient way to manage your tag albums. We also added a page which list all the tags in your instance related to your user.
From this page, you can rename, merge and delete tags. It also provides you with an overview of the number of photos related to each tag.

Additionally, @cdzombak has been working on a few new features. It is now possible to pin albums, highlighting them to your users. This functionality is not limited
