Immich vs NetNewsWire: at a glance
What is Immich?
Immich's 3.4 candidate adds passkeys and built-in backups.
Immich is in its v3.4 release-candidate cycle. rc.1 added passkey sign-in, built-in backups using restic's parallel scan, JPEG XL decoding and encoding, mobile tags and workflow filters, plus security fixes around shared links, partner timelines, symlinks and OAuth cookies; rc.2 on 4 November contains bug fixes only. The v3.3 cycle before it brought people management, TensorRT-RTX acceleration and lighter ML models.
What is NetNewsWire?
NetNewsWire 7.3 beta starts showing media: enclosures, Media RSS and timeline thumbnails.
NetNewsWire shipped 7.2 on Mac and iOS in mid-October with a column timeline layout and unread-count controls, followed by a 7.2.1 Mac patch. The 7.3 Mac betas first restored the status bar, and 7.3b3 now renders enclosures and Media RSS in the article view, plays YouTube enclosures in the no-cookie player and adds optional timeline thumbnails.

Immich
5.0COLLAB
Immich's 3.4 candidate adds passkeys and built-in backups.
◆ Current state
Immich is in its v3.4 release-candidate cycle. rc.1 added passkey sign-in, built-in backups using restic's parallel scan, JPEG XL decoding and encoding, mobile tags and workflow filters, plus security fixes around shared links, partner timelines, symlinks and OAuth cookies; rc.2 on 4 November contains bug fixes only. The v3.3 cycle before it brought people management, TensorRT-RTX acceleration and lighter ML models.
◆ Where it's heading
Each minor now runs through three or four public candidates before release. The 3.x line moved from discovery features (search, faces, memories) toward running Immich safely as a household's primary photo store: sharing controls, authentication and backups.
◆ Prediction
v3.4.0 stable should follow after one or two more candidates. Restoring from the new backups inside Immich is the natural follow-up if it isn't already part of 3.4.
NetNewsWire
5.0COLLAB
NetNewsWire 7.3 beta starts showing media: enclosures, Media RSS and timeline thumbnails.
◆ Current state
NetNewsWire shipped 7.2 on Mac and iOS in mid-October with a column timeline layout and unread-count controls, followed by a 7.2.1 Mac patch. The 7.3 Mac betas first restored the status bar, and 7.3b3 now renders enclosures and Media RSS in the article view, plays YouTube enclosures in the no-cookie player and adds optional timeline thumbnails.
◆ Where it's heading
The 7.3 cycle is widening what a feed item can show, from text-only articles to images, audio and video carried as enclosures, which matters for Mastodon and podcast feeds. The project still ships through frequent public betas and keeps a server-friendly stance, now rate-limiting image downloads per host.
◆ Prediction
Further 7.3 Mac betas are likely before a final release; the entries do not show whether enclosure and thumbnail support will reach iOS in the same cycle.
