Improvements for all users:

  • The client will only trigger one synchronization retry loop when encountering
    an unreachable Cozy error in both the synchronization process and the remote
    watcher very closely.
  • New remote documents whose path would be incompatible with the local
    filesystem will not be ignored anymore.
  • Local documents who've been moved or renamed remotely to a path that would be
    incompatible with the local filesystem won't be trashed anymore.
  • Changes that can't be synchronized because the document has an incompatible
    name or path with the local filesystem will now suspend the synchronization
    and an error message will be displayed so you can take action.
  • Moves for which the destination path is exactly the same as the source path
    will now be treated as modifications rather than triggering errors.

Improvements for Windows and macOS users:

  • After the remote Cozy has been found unreachable because of a network error
    such as a interface change, the subsequent requests won't fail anymore with
    the same error once a stable connection is back.

Improvements for Windows users:

  • The client should not create conflicts anymore when propagating on Windows the
    combination of the move/renaming and the modification of a Cozy Note (via the
    Notes web application).
  • It seems that paths on Windows created by the Desktop client can actually
    exceed the 259 characters limit. Therefore we've increased the limit defined
    in the client itself to 32766 characters.
    Documents that had been previously found incompatible with the local
    filesystem because of the previous path length limit will be updated to take
    the new limit into account. Most of them should thus become compatible.
  • Synchronization error messages displayed in the main window will now only
    contain the name of the document involved instead of its complete path.

Improvements for macOS users:

  • Custom folder icons will now be ignored to avoid blocking the synchronization
    as their name contains a character forbidden on remote Cozies.
  • The app dock icon should now only be visible when an app window other than the
    main window is open. This should also prevent blocking the computer shutdown.

Improvements for Linux users:

  • The client won't show a popup error message anymore when automatically
    starting with the computer.

Happy syncing!
