Nov 1, 2025November 2025 in dainst/idai-field focused on performance, localization, and settings improvements. Key outcomes include faster IIIF image delivery via a one-year cache-control header; expanded localization with Portuguese/Spanish UI enabled (French/Greek UI deprecated due to translation gaps) through core updates; and a settings overhaul adding multilingual imprint management and renaming the imprint setting to :contact with improved routing. Business impact includes reduced image load times and server load, broader language support, and a scalable, translation-friendly settings framework. Technologies demonstrated include HTTP caching headers, IIIF optimizations, localization/i18n work, dependency upgrades (idai-field-core 1.5.0), and UI/routing refactors.
