I had a good week focusing on adding the duplicates system to the Client API. There is nothing else, so today's release is only for advanced users.
Full changelog: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/changelog.html
duplicates with Client API
The main duplicate commands are now available. Obviously check the changelog and Client API help out for full explanation, but the general gist is 1) There is a new 'manage file relationships' permission to gain access, and 2) You can fetch and create relationships, but you can't delete them yet. I will add these commands in the future.

There's some new enums to grapple with, and you can be dealing with two searches at once when fetching potential pairs. Please have a read, try things out, and let me know where it goes wrong. I expose the ugly technical side of things, so if it isn't clear what a king is, I may need to brush up the duplicates help etc...
I expect to keep working on this in the near future, including adding more search tech as I do related 'mulitple local file services' expansions to the Client API, and in the more distant future as I expand alternates. While I was in here this week, I realised I could brush up and clarify some of the edge-case logic too, as I wasn't sure myself on every situation. Again, let me know what seems confusing or wrong for you, and we'll iterate.
next week
A mix of small jobs, and it would be nice to add some remove/dissolve commands for this new duplicates Client API.
On a side note, I migrated to a new dev machine this week, upgrading from a Minis Forum X35G to a TH80. I'm pretty sure the old machine was a 2-core CPU while the new is 8, ha ha ha, so my working session feels super smooth now. I recommend these little machines if you need a decent office computer (the old one also drove two 4k@60Hz monitors no problem), or a younger family member's first big boy computer.
