+# pict-rs 0.5.12
+
+pict-rs is a simple image hosting microservice, designed to handle storing and retrieving images,
+animations, and videos, as well as providing basic image processing functionality.
+
+## Overview
+
+pict-rs 0.5.12 is a bugfix release to remove two issues that, when compounded, would cause pict-rs
+to fail to process media.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- [Panic Handling in Background Jobs](#panic-handling-in-background-jobs)
+- [BytesStream Divide-by-Zero](#bytes-stream-divide-by-zero)
+
+
+## Upgrade Notes
+
+There are no significant differences from 0.5.11. Upgrading should be as simple as pulling a new
+version of pict-rs.
+
+
+## Descriptions
+
+### Panic Handling in Background Jobs
+
+pict-rs makes an effort to never use explicitly panicking code, but since there's no static way to
+guarantee that a given function wont panic, pict-rs needs to be able to deal with that. pict-rs
+0.5.12 now wraps invocations of jobs in spawned tasks, which can catch and report panics that happen
+in background jobs.
+
+Previously, a panic in a background job would bring down that thread's job processor, which resulted
+in future jobs never being processed. Now job processing should properly continue after panics
+occur.
+
+
+### BytesStream Divide-by-Zero
+
+Part of my rework of BytesStream recently included adding debug logs around how many bytes chunks
+were in a given stream, and their average length. Unfortunately, if there were no bytes in the
+stream, this would cause the "average chunk length" calculation to divide by 0. In previous versions
+of pict-rs, this would generally result in a failed request for processed media, but in pict-rs
+0.5.11 this would end up killing the background jobs processor.
+
+This specific panic has been fixed by ensuring we divide by the number of chunks or 1, whichever is
+greater.
