V210: a rendition says how it crops.
A fixed image rendition is a box: the photo is scaled to fill it and the
excess is cropped. Until now the crop was always taken from the center, which
cuts off a subject standing at the edge of the photo. crop_mode lets a
rendition choose:
center(the default, and what every existing rendition keeps): crop around the middle of the photo;focus: crop around the photo's focal point (Storage.FocalPoint: where its subject is), falling back to the center when none is known.
A rendition that keeps proportions is not cropped, so the column does nothing
for it. Only focus is part of a rendition's spec hash, so no existing
rendition is remade by this migration.
Locks
ALTER TABLE on the (tiny) renditions table; the default is a constant, so
no row is rewritten.
Summary
Functions
Rolls V210 back: the column goes, and every rendition crops at the center again.
