**Survey:**

I want to answer two questions: What is the best way to implement automatic image captioning, and what systems are the users of LibrePhotos using?

Fill out this questionnaire, to help me out! https://forms.gle/vJjzxwpXf5vwTm9v9

**Upstream:**

- 🚀 LibrePhotos: You can now download a new image captioning model called BLIP
- ✨ Frontend: Shared album will now be visible in URL, which allows for deep-linking. (Implemented by [sickelap](https://github.com/sickelap))
- ✨ Frontend: Tons of maintainability issue fixed by [sickelap](https://github.com/sickelap)
- ✨ LibrePhotos: Progress of downloading models is now visible in the logs
- ✨ LibrePhotos: Updated around a bunch of dependencies and updated language strings from the community
- 🔨 LibrePhotos: Download of pictures should work now, even if the zip file is large. Fixed by [AnkurPrabhu](https://github.com/AnkurPrabhu)
