Changelog — Media Booster

All notable changes to Media Booster for end users.

1.3.8

Released 2026-07-09

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed out-of-memory crash during SEO optimization when a media file is linked to many products — the plugin no longer loads every product assignment into memory, so large catalogs process without stalling the queue worker
  • Fixed a compatibility error with newer Shopware versions that could prevent the storefront image URL filter from loading

1.3.7

Released 2026-06-09

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed image processing running out of memory and stalling the queue (and all scheduled tasks) during large AVIF conversions — per-process Imagick memory is now bounded
  • Fixed dashboard statistics showing wrong or reset numbers — progress now reflects the actual processing log, so percentages stay correct across reruns, partial runs and worker restarts
  • Fixed broken (404) storefront images after a media file was replaced — the converted WebP/AVIF version is now verified on disk per request instead of trusting a stale 1-hour cache
  • Fixed broken product gallery images whose thumbnails could not be resolved — invalid and duplicate srcset entries are no longer emitted, so the image correctly falls back to the original

1.3.6

Released 2026-03-20

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed non-transparent PNGs (e.g. technical drawings) being corrupted during WebP/AVIF conversion — alpha channel was incorrectly activated on RGB images, making output nearly invisible

1.3.5

Released 2026-03-06

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed admin dashboard progress not updating in real-time during processing — switched to direct SQL reads for consistency with background worker writes and added cache-busting to status polling
  • Fixed "Last Run" timestamp showing stale or missing values after starting a new processing run

1.3.4

Released 2026-03-06

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed sparse images (technical drawings, diagrams) being destroyed by lossy AVIF/WebP compression — now uses lossless mode which is both smaller and pixel-perfect
  • Removed unused media_version_id column from log table (media entity has no versioning)

1.3.3

Released 2026-03-06

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed "Convert All Again" not regenerating AVIF/WebP files — conversion was skipped when the target file already existed on disk, so redo operations had no effect

1.3.2

Released 2026-03-06

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed queue messages being processed synchronously in the HTTP request instead of in the background — admin UI no longer blocks until all batches complete

1.3.1

Released 2026-03-06

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed reset task endpoint not dispatching batches after resetting, leaving processing stuck
  • Fixed footer buttons overflowing and reset being blocked after a completed run
  • Renamed buttons for clarity and added confirmations for destructive actions

1.3.0

Released 2026-03-06

Improvements

  • Replaced fragile chain-dispatch queue architecture with pre-dispatch — all media IDs are now queried upfront, split into batches, and dispatched at once so each batch is independent and the queue can no longer stall mid-run
  • Processing progress is now tracked at batch level instead of per-item, reducing database writes during processing
  • Running state auto-clears when all items are handled, and stuck-state timeout reduced from 30 to 10 minutes for faster recovery

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed potential queue stall where a single failed batch could stop all subsequent batches from processing

1.2.1

Released 2026-03-06

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed admin dashboard crash ("createNotificationError is not a function") caused by missing notification mixin
  • Improved progress card footer button layout — actions are now grouped logically with proper spacing

1.2.0

Released 2026-03-05

New Features

  • Added configurable frontend extension priority setting — choose whether AVIF, WebP, or original format is served to visitors
  • Processing errors are now persisted to the database and survive across queue worker restarts, making them reliably visible in the admin dashboard
  • Renamed Twig filter from webla_as_webp to webla_as_converted to reflect AVIF/WebP support

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed extension priority setting not working due to missing SystemConfigService injection
  • Fixed error timestamps not displaying in admin dashboard (key mismatch between storage and template)
  • Fixed various pipeline issues: infinite loops, race conditions, query performance, data safety, UI polish, deduplication, UTF-8 safety, and dead code cleanup

Improvements

  • Reduced database queries during batch processing by ~80% — progress counts are now accumulated in memory and flushed once per batch instead of per item

1.1.1

Released 2026-03-05

New Features

  • Sparse images (diagrams, technical drawings, line art) are now automatically detected and converted at higher quality (minimum 95) to preserve thin lines and text
  • Added per-task "Redo" buttons in admin dashboard — reset and reprocess just Resize, Convert, or SEO individually without clearing all data

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed AVIF/WebP conversion destroying thin lines on technical drawings and diagrams due to aggressive lossy compression at moderate quality settings

1.1.0

Released 2026-03-05

New Features

  • Error notifications in admin dashboard now show as user-facing alerts instead of silent console errors

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed out-of-memory crash (2GB limit) on large media libraries by clearing Doctrine's entity manager between batches
  • Fixed entire processing run aborting when a single batch fails (e.g., due to special characters in filenames) — failed batches are now skipped and processing continues
  • Fixed total media count query triggering Flysystem path validation on media with special characters

Improvements

  • Shopware Context is now properly passed through the entire service call chain instead of creating default contexts
  • Processing automatically stops after 3 consecutive batch failures to prevent infinite loops

1.0.8

Released 2026-03-05

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed processing crash when media filenames contain special Unicode characters (soft hyphens, non-breaking spaces) that Flysystem rejects during entity loading — affected items are now skipped and marked as failed

1.0.7

Released 2026-03-05

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed batch processing getting permanently stuck when a single image fails (corrupted file, unsupported format) — failed items are now logged and skipped instead of causing infinite retry loops
  • Fixed misleading progress display showing "32 / 3468 (41.5%)" — now shows handled/total with breakdown of processed, skipped, and failed items

1.0.6

Released 2026-03-05

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed SQL syntax error on MariaDB when fetching unprocessed media IDs (LIMIT parameter was quoted as string)

1.0.5

Released 2026-03-05

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed 500 error on status API caused by missing DBAL Connection dependency in ProgressService

1.0.4

Released 2026-03-05

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed memory exhaustion on large media libraries by replacing PHP-loaded ID lists with SQL subqueries
  • Fixed memory accumulation in long-running worker by replacing entity search+write with DBAL UPSERT
  • Fixed memory pressure from batch processing by explicitly releasing entities and forcing GC between batches
  • Fixed Imagick pixel cache memory leak by calling clear() before destroy() on instances
  • Fixed infinite processing loop when media files are missing from disk (now logged as skipped)
  • Fixed infinite partial batches when lock failures were not counted toward batch size
  • Fixed slow status API polling by using SQL aggregation instead of loading all log entries
  • Fixed stuck processing state by auto-clearing isRunning state after 30 minutes
  • Fixed counter corruption from concurrent run requests (now rejected with 409)
  • Fixed incorrect AVIF convert total count due to wrong extension list
  • Fixed premature polling stop due to race condition in runTask()
  • Fixed repeated processing of already-converted files (now logged to exclude from future runs)
  • Fixed repeated processing of within-bounds images during resize (now logged to exclude from future runs)
  • Recent processing errors are now collected and surfaced in the status API response

1.0.3

Released 2026-01-23

New Features

  • Automatic AVIF/WebP delivery: Logos and theme images now automatically use converted versions without requiring template changes
  • AVIF support in Twig filter with priority order: AVIF > WebP > Original
  • Warning in server status when GD is used for AVIF conversion (recommends Imagick)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed progress counters resetting on every batch instead of only at run start
  • Fixed total counts changing mid-run when new media is uploaded
  • Fixed PHP timeout during AVIF conversion with GD library on large images (>4 megapixels now skipped)

Improvements

  • Dashboard labels now clearly distinguish "All-Time Statistics" from "Current Run Progress"
  • Twig filter now checks for AVIF first, then WebP, for optimal compression

1.0.2

Released 2026-01-23

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed "Palette image not supported by webp" error when converting PNG images with indexed colors (logos, icons, simple graphics)
  • Fixed GIF to WebP/AVIF conversion (GIF images are always palette-based)
  • Fixed progress percentage showing >100% when running conversion multiple times
  • Fixed progress not updating when all images are already converted (skipped)
  • Improved alpha channel handling for transparent PNG images

New Features

  • Display failed image count in admin dashboard progress section
  • Error message when resize is started without max dimensions configured

Improvements

  • Progress counters now reset when starting a new processing run
  • Enhanced error messages for conversion failures now include the actual warning
