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.
- No longer deleted files are not clickable in the Global History pane.
- Diff view now uses more specific classes (#803).
- A message of configuration mismatching slightly added for better understanding.
- Now it says `When replication is initiated manually via the command palette or ribbon, a dialogue box will open to address this.` to make it clear that the user can fix the issue by themselves.
### Refactored
- `ModuleRedFlag` has been refactored to `serviceFeatures/redFlag` and also tested.
- `ModuleInitializerFile` has been refactored to `lib/serviceFeatures/offlineScanner` and also tested.
- Unexpected errors no longer occurred when the plug-in was unloaded.
- Hidden File Sync now respects selectors.
- Registering protocol-handlers now works safely without causing unexpected errors.
### Refactored
- LiveSyncManagers has now explicit dependencies.
- LiveSyncLocalDB is now responsible for LiveSyncManagers, not accepting the managers as dependencies.
- This is to avoid circular dependencies and clarify the ownership of the managers.
- ChangeManager has been refactored. This had a potential issue, so something had been fixed, possibly.
- Some tests have been ported from Deno's test runner to Vitest to accumulate coverage.
- `ModuleTargetFilter`, which was responsible for checking if a file is a target file, has been ported to a serviceFeature.
- And also tests have been added. The middleware-style-power.
- `ModuleObsidianAPI` has been removed and implemented in `APIService` and `RemoteService`.
- Now `APIService` is responsible for the network-online-status, not `databaseService.managers.networkManager`.
- No longer `No available splitter for settings!!` errors occur after fetching old remote settings while rebuilding local database.
### Improved
- Boot sequence warning is now kept in the in-editor notification area. (#748)
### New feature
- We can now set the maximum modified time for reflect events in the settings. (for #754)
### Refactored
- Module to service refactoring has been started for better maintainability:
- UI module has been moved to UI service.
### Behaviour change
- Default chunk splitter version has been changed to `Rabin-Karp` for new installations.
- Rewrite the service's binding/handler assignment systems
- Removed loopholes that allowed traversal between services to clarify dependencies.
- Consolidated the hidden state-related state, the handler, and the addition of bindings to the handler into a single object.
- Currently, functions that can have handlers added implement either addHandler or setHandler directly on the function itself.
I understand there are differing opinions on this, but for now, this is how it stands.
- Services now possess a Context. Please ensure each platform has a class that inherits from ServiceContext.
- To permit services to be dynamically bound, the services themselves are now defined by interfaces.
- P2P Replication got more robust and stable.
### Breaking changes
- Send configuration via Peer-to-Peer connection is not compatible with older versions.
### Fixed (This should be backported to 0.25.22 if the beta phase is prolonged)
- No longer larger files will not create a chunks during preparing `Reset Synchronisation on This Device`.
### Behaviour changes
- Setup wizard is now more `goal-oriented`. Brand-new screens are introduced.
- `Fetch everything` and `Rebuild everything` is now `Reset Synchronisation on This Device` and `Overwrite Server Data with This Device's Files`.
- Remote configuration and E2EE settings are now separated to each modal dialogue.
- Peer-to-Peer settings is also separated into its own modal dialogue.
- Setup-URI, and Report for the Issue are now not copied to clipboard automatically. Instead, there are copy dialogue and buttons to copy them explicitly.
- No longer optional features are introduced during the setup or `Reset Synchronisation on This Device`, `Overwrite Server Data with This Device's Files`.
- We cannot preform `Fetch everything` and `Rebuild everything` (Removed, so the old name) without restarting Obsidian now.
### Miscellaneous
- Setup QR Code generation is separated into a src/lib/src/API/processSetting.ts file. Please use it as a subrepository if you want to generate QR codes in your own application.
- Setup-URI is also separated into a src/lib/src/API/processSetting.ts
- Some direct access to web-APIs are now wrapped into the services layer.
### Dependency updates
- Many dependencies are updated. Please see `package.json`.
- As upgrading TypeScript, Fixed many UInt8Array<ArrayBuffer> and Uint8Array type mismatches.
