Release v3.23.0-beta.5 (#1954)

Improvements for macOS users:

• The order in which changes fetched from the remote Cozy were processed could
  hinder the paths normalization and lead to issues like conflicts.
  We're now sorting changes before the normalization to make sure the process
  will complete as expected.

Release v3.23.0-beta.1 (#1946)

Improvements for all users:

• We upgraded the framework upon which our application is built, Electron, to
  v9.2.1 which is the 2nd latest major version (v10.0.0 was released 4 days
  ago). This should bring more stability to the application overall and prevent
  some crashes. We can also expect smaller bundles. This upgrade brings us
  official support back for a while.
• Data migrations run after some client upgrades should not prevent not fully
  synchronized changes from being detected and synchronized after the
  migration.
• Documents added on your remote Cozy, detected by the client but not fully
  synchronized before it is stopped should be synchronized correctly after the
  next client launch. The client should not try to delete them on your Cozy
  because it does not find them locally (the deletions never went through
  fortunately).

Improvements for Windows users:

• With the Electron upgrade, you should be able to disconnect your client from
  your remote Cozy via the client interface.

Improvements for Linux users:

• If you have disabled the client autolaunch upon your computer startup it
  should not be re-enabled during your next application launch anymore.

Improvements for all users:

• As a multi-device platform, Cozy Cloud tries to keep the modification dates of
  documents in sync across all your devices (i.e. Drive Web, Drive Mobile,
  Cozy Desktop, other people's Cozies…). When modifications happen on the Cozy
  itself, the modification date is set by the server. On the other hand, when
  the modification is made on on your computer, we get the date from your
  filesystem. We were using the most recent date between the content
  modification date and the metadata modification date but we think the content
  modification date is the most important and that it should not be affected by
  movements, renamings, permission changes, etc.
  For this reason, from now on we will only use the content modification date on
  Cozy Desktop.
• Files with remote creation or modification dates in a timezone other than UTC
  would raise an error in the remote watcher when converting them into PouchDB
  records.
  We're now rounding those dates with a timezone agnostic method and those
  errors should not happen anymore.
• When you start your Cozy Desktop client, we scan the whole synchronization
  folder on your computer to detect document additions, modifications,
  movements… The file modification detection is done in 2 steps to avoid time
  consuming computation:
  1. we compare the modification date fetched from your filesystem with the one
     we last saved in our database
  2. if and only if they differ, we compute the file's checksum to compare it
     with the one saved in the database
     Our modification date was not completely reliable, especially on Windows and
     Linux so we were computing a lot of checksums for files that were not modified
     while the client was stopped.
     We're now using the local file state which holds a reliable content
     modification date and we should avoid a lot of checksum computations thus
     saving you a lot of time during a client start and a lot of CPU resources.
• The list of recently synchronized files and the linked Cozy information would
  sometimes not be displayed after a client restart, especially on Windows.
  The data was correctly persisted though and we've made sure it is correctly
  loaded and displayed now.
• The list of recently synchronized files could be persisted multiple times
  concurrently, leading to malformed JSON content which could not be loaded back
  into the client's GUI during the next start.
  We're now making sure each write is done sequentially so that the list is
  always saved as valid JSON.
• The list of recently synchronized files could contain folder items when their
  parent was moved or renamed.
  We're now making sure only file items will be displayed in this list until we
  officially support folder items.
• We increased the number of file types that will be displayed with a specific
  icon to help you check more easily which elements were synchronized. This
  includes 2 new icons for links (i.e. .url files) and contacts (i.e. .vcf
  files).
• The autolaunch setting could be displayed as enabled when it was disabled from
  the OS settings panel instead of the Cozy Desktop client settings.
  We've made sure the interface shows the actual value of this setting and the
  switch is off when the autolaunch is disabled.

Improvements for Windows and macOS users:

• A file name case change on the remote Cozy followed by a remote content update
  could lead in some situations to the local file being trashed on the computer.
  On macOS this could also happen if the renaming was simply a normalization
  change or there was a normalization difference in the name of one of its
  ancestors.
  We've changed the way we handle the conjunction of those 2 changes to make
  sure case and normalization changes don't affect them. The file should now be
  properly moved and updated on the local filesystem.

Improvements for Windows users:

• Some Windows software save modifications made on a file by moving this file to
  a backup location before writing the new version in its stead. The events
  received by Cozy Desktop in this situation were not correctly interpreted as
  we did not expect it and the client would trash the file on the remote Cozy
  before uploading the new version. If the client were to be stopped before the
  new version was uploaded, the file could stay trashed until the client was
  started again.
  We're now expecting this suite of events to happen and are applying a specific
  behavior to transform them into a file update that will be correctly
  propagated to the remote Cozy as one change thus avoiding situations where the
  file is trashed.
• The local file state introduced in the previous release was not fully
  populated on Windows when propagating the addition of a file from the Cozy to
  the local filesystem due to a bug.
  While it should have been without consequences, the bug was fixed and the
  features requiring this local state to be populated (e.g. limiting the number
  of file checksum computations during a client start) should be fully
  functional.

Improvements for macOS users:

• A lot of improvements around the support of NFD/NFC UTF-8 normalizations for
  document paths, especially when they differ between the remote Cozy and the
  local filesystem.
  You shouldn't see synchronization errors due to the renaming, movement,
  addition, modification of files and folders with accented names.
