Now, Self-hosted LiveSync has finally begun to be split into the Self-hosted LiveSync plugin for Obsidian, and a properly abstracted version of it.
This may not offer much benefit to Obsidian plugin users, or might even cause a slight inconvenience, but I believe it will certainly help improve testability and make the ecosystem better.
However, I do not see the point in putting something with little benefit into beta, so I am handling this on the alpha branch. I would actually preferred to create an R&D branch, but I was not keen on the ampersand, and I feel it will eventually become a proper beta anyway.
### Refactored
- Separated `ObsidianLiveSyncPlugin` into `ObsidianLiveSyncPlugin` and `LiveSyncBaseCore`.
- Now `LiveSyncCore` indicates the type specified version of `LiveSyncBaseCore`.
- Referencing `plugin.xxx` has been rewritten to referencing the corresponding service or `core.xxx`.
### Internal API changes
- Storage Access APIs are now yielding Promises. This is to allow more limited storage platforms to be supported.
### R&D
- Browser-version of Self-hosted LiveSync is now in development. This is not intended for public use now, but I will eventually make it available for testing.
- We can see the code in `src/apps/webapp` for the browser version.
Rewritten
- Hidden File Sync is now respects the file changes on the storage. Not simply comparing modified times.
- This makes hidden file sync more robust and reliable.
Fixed
- `Scan hidden files before replication` is now configurable again.
- Some unexpected errors are now handled more gracefully.
- Meaningless event passing during boot sequence is now prevented.
- Error handling for non-existing files has been fixed.
- Hidden files will not be batched to avoid the potential error.
- This behaviour had been causing the error in the previous versions in specific situations.
- The log which checking automatic conflict resolution is now in verbose level.
- Replication log (skipping non-targetting files) shows the correct information.
- The dialogue that asking enabling optional feature during `Rebuild Everything` now prevents to show the `overwrite` option.
- The rebuilding device is the first, meaningless.
- Files with different modified time but identical content are no longer processed repeatedly.
- Some unexpected errors which caused after terminating plug-in are now avoided.
-
Improved
- JSON files are now more transferred efficiently.
- Now the JSON files are transferred in more fine chunks, which makes the transfer more efficient.
- Vault History can show the correct information of match-or-not for each file and database even if it is a binary file.
- `Sync settings via markdown` is now hidden during the setup wizard.
- Verify and Fix will ignore the hidden files if the hidden file sync is disabled.
New feature
- Now we can fetch the tweaks from the remote database while the setting dialogue and wizard are processing.
Improved
- More things are moved to the modules.
- Includes the Main codebase. Now `main.ts` is almost stub.
- EventHub is now more robust and typesafe.
