0.22.0

A few years passed since Self-hosted LiveSync was born, and our codebase had been very complicated. This could be patient now, but it should be a tremendous hurt. Therefore at v0.22.0, for future maintainability, I refined task scheduling logic totally.

Of course, I think this would be our suffering in some cases. However, I would love to ask you for your cooperation and contribution.

Sorry for being absent so much long. And thank you for your patience!

Note: we got a very performance improvement. Note at 0.22.2: Now, to rescue mobile devices, Maximum file size is set to 50 by default. Please configure the limit as you need. If you do not want to limit the sizes, set zero manually, please.

0.21.0

The E2EE encryption V2 format has been reverted. That was probably the cause of the glitch. Instead, to maintain efficiency, files are treated with Blob until just before saving. Along with this, the old-fashioned encryption format has also been discontinued. There are both forward and backwards compatibilities, with recent versions. However, unfortunately, we lost compatibility with filesystem-livesync or some. It will be addressed soon. Please be patient if you are using filesystem-livesync with E2EE.

    • This has been fixed in this version.
  • Fixed:
    • No longer files are broken while rebuilding.
    • Now, Large binary files can be written correctly on a mobile platform.
    • Any decoding errors now make zero-byte files.

    • All files are processed sequentially for each.

    • The V2-Format has been reverted.
    • New encoding format has been enabled in default.
    • WARNING: Since this version, the compatibilities with older Filesystem LiveSync have been lost.

0.20.0

At 0.20.0, Self-hosted LiveSync has changed the binary file format and encrypting format, for efficient synchronisation.
The dialogue will be shown and asks us to decide whether to keep v1 or use v2. Once we have enabled v2, all subsequent edits will be saved in v2. Therefore, devices running 0.19 or below cannot understand this and they might say that decryption error. Please update all devices.
Then we will have an impressive performance.

Of course, these are very impactful changes. If you have any questions or troubled things, please feel free to open an issue and mention me.

Note: if you want to roll it back to v1, please enable Use binary and encryption version 1 on the Hatch pane and perform the rebuild everything once.

Extra but notable information:

This format change gives us the ability to detect some marks in the binary files as same as text files. Therefore, we can split binary files and some specific sort of them (i.e., PDF files) at the specific character. It means that editing the middle of files could be detected with marks.

Now only a few chunks are transferred, even if we add a comment to the PDF or put new files into the ZIP archives.

• 0.20.7
  • Fixed
    • To better replication, path obfuscation is now deterministic even if with E2EE.
      Note: Compatible with previous database without any conversion. Only new files will be obfuscated in deterministic.

  • Fixed
    • Now empty file could be decoded.
    • Local files are no longer pre-saved before fetching from a remote database.
    • No longer deadlock while applying customisation sync.
    • Configuration with multiple files is now able to be applied correctly.
    • Deleting folder propagation now works without enabling the use of a trash bin.
• 0.20.5
  • Fixed
    • Now the files which having digit or character prefixes in the path will not be ignored.

0.19.0

Customization sync

Since Plugin and their settings have been broken, so I tried to fix it, not just fix it, but fix it the way it should be.

Now, we have Customization sync.

It is a real shame that the compatibility between these features has been broken. However, this new feature is surely useful and I believe that worth getting over the pain. We can use the new feature with the same configuration. Only the menu on the command palette has been changed. The dialog can be opened by Show customization sync dialog.

I hope you will give it a try.

0.18.0

Now, paths of files in the database can now be obfuscated. (Experimental Feature)

At before v0.18.0, Self-hosted LiveSync used the path of files, to detect and resolve conflicts. In naive. The ID of the document stored in the CouchDB was naturally the filename. However, it means a sort of lacking confidentiality. If the credentials of the database have been leaked, the attacker (or an innocent bystander) can read the path of files. So we could not use confidential things in the filename in some environments. Since v0.18.0, they can be obfuscated. so it is no longer possible to decipher the path from the ID. Instead of that, it costs a bit CPU load than before, and the data structure has been changed a bit.

We can configure the Path Obfuscation in the Remote database configuration pane.
Note: When changing this configuration, we need to rebuild both of the local and the remote databases.
