digiKam 8.1.0 is released

From what I can see, this years student will not implement the highly desirable grouping of similar unknown faces (ref. Picasa) when running a face recognition scan. It seems it will identify objects and put them into categories, but faces will be presented in the same unorganized mess as before. I find it strange that Picasa got this right 20(?) years ago and Digikam is still struggling how to solve this. I understand that people are working on this for free and I am grateful, but I find it strange that this is given such low priority. I hope I am wrong and that unknown faces will be grouped automatically because the face rec. workflow today is just horrible.
