### Fixed

- Storage scanning no longer occurs when `Suspend file watching` is enabled (including boot-sequence).

### Improved
- Saving notes and files now consumes less memory.
- Chunk caching is now more efficient.
- Both of them (may) are effective for #692, #680, and some more.

### Changed
- `Incubate Chunks in Document` (also known as `Eden`) is now fully sunset.
- The `Compute revisions for chunks` setting has also been removed.
- As mentioned, `Memory cache size (by total characters)` has been removed.

### Refactored
- A significant refactoring of the core codebase is underway (please refer the release-note).
