There's a new background face recognition process. Faces are recognized as soon as you enter a face name (you can configure whether this is enabled in the digiKam setup). The face detection/recognition option in the maintenance tool is no longer available; only three maintenance options remain. If none of these options are enabled, the maintenance menu will be grayed out and not reactivated. I will fix this. Maik
