### Media Variant Retention
Similar to the new proxy feature, pict-rs 0.5 now sets a time limit on media variants, and discards
them if they are not accessed within that time limit. Since variants can be regenerated on request,
there's no harm in removing them to save on storage space.
For configuration information, see the example
[pict-rs.toml](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/src/branch/main/pict-rs.toml).
### Configurable Temporary Directory
pict-rs now supports using a non-default temporary directory. Previous versions of pict-rs have
resorted to the operating system's defined temporary directory, and that is still the default
behavior, but this can now be overridden from pict-rs' configuration.
For configuration information, see the example
[pict-rs.toml](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/src/branch/main/pict-rs.toml).
### Serve From Object Storage
pict-rs 0.5 now supports serving images directly from object storage. This is achieved by telling
pict-rs the public URL at which your object storage is available in the object storage
configuration. When this is set up, any existing image requested from pict-rs will be served with a
redirect to the object storage URL. Since pict-rs is not intended to be exposed directly to the
internet, any proxy between the internet and pict-rs must be configured not to follow redirects, or
else that proxy will end up fetching the image from object-storage itself. In some cases, this might
be reasonable (e.g. if Web Access is cheaper than S3API access for fetching files).
For configuration information, see the example
[pict-rs.toml](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/src/branch/main/pict-rs.toml).
