Improvements for all users:

  • To help you keep your app up-to-date, we have a mechanism that checks for new
    versions every 24 hours. While we do that check, the app does not attempt to
    synchronise anything to avoid stopping the process while the new version is
    installed. We set a maximum wait time of 5 seconds for the check so that you
    won't get stuck in that state for too long. Unfortunately, we've noticed that
    some users hit that timeout because the check was taking too long and don't
    get the new version notification, probably because of a slow Internet
    connection.
    We've decided to increase the maximum wait time to 10 seconds to make sure
    those users are informed that a new version is available. This should have no
    impact for users with a fast Internet connection.
  • In some situations, we can try to reconciliate changes on documents whose
    ancestor we don't know (e.g. a change on directory/file when we've never
    received the creation of directory/). To help merge those changes we try to
    recreate the missing ancestor. However, we found out that recreating a valid
    ancestor for changes coming from your remote Cozy is plain impossible since we
    don't have its remote metadata such as its identifier. This was causing merge
    issues leading to increased merge times for subsequent changes on other
    documents, increased log files sizes and no way to fix the situation.
    We've made the decision to stop trying to recreate missing ancestors of remote
    changes and ignore those issues altogether. This means that the changes won't
    be merged (i.e. this is no different than the current situation) but we won't
    try to merge them over and over, each time we pull changes from the remote
    Cozy (i.e. every minute or so). We will still detect and attempt to merge
    changes on the documents although the situation will be similar until a change
    on the ancestor is made. But this also means we'll be able to merge all those
    changes if you make a change on the ancestor we didn't get the chance to save.

Happy syncing!
