We are pleased to announce the Wildbook software release v.2021-10-28, which is reflected in the Flukebook.org platform for cetacean photo ID. Highlights include new machine learning detection and individual ID algorithms for sperm whales, as well as usability improvements in project and bulk import functionality.

BUG FIXES - WB-1854: Encounter Search mark-recapture search includes capture sessions that occur on the same day as the session end time. - WB-1808: The “Add to existing individual ID” function no longer has an unneeded dependency on the ShowTaxonomy configuration option. - SAGE-391: Background subtraction failing with new model files exported with NumPy float64 data type - SAGE-386: Background subtraction added missing support for bottlenose_dolphin+fin_dorsal - WB-1781: User can now self-edit email addresses. - WB-1740: Dates on images in match results now reflect user-provided dates rather than exif. - WB-1479: Scroll wheel actions work with search results tables.
