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.
- 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.
- We can now configure hidden file synchronisation to always overwrite with the latest version (#579).
### Fixed
- Timing dependency issues during initialisation have been mitigated (#714)
### Improved
- Error logs now contain stack-traces for better inspection.
- Fixed a bug that caused wrong event bindings and flag inversion (#727)
- This caused following issues:
- In some cases, settings changes were not applied or saved correctly.
- Automatic synchronisation did not begin correctly.
### Improved
- Too large diffs are not shown in the file comparison view, due to performance reasons.
Fixed
- No longer unnecessary acknowledgements are sent when starting peer-to-peer synchronisation.
Refactored
- Platform impedance-matching-layer has been improved.
- Some UIs have been get isomorphic among Obsidian and web applications (for `webpeer`).
Improved
- New Translation: `es` (Spanish) by @zeedif (Thank you so much)!
- Now all of messages can be selectable and copyable, also on the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. Now we can copy or share the messages easily.
New Feature
- Peer-to-Peer Synchronisation has been implemented!
Fixed
- No longer memory or resource leaks when the plug-in is disabled.
- Now deleted chunks are correctly detected on conflict resolution, and we are guided to resurrect them.
- Hanging issue during the initial synchronisation has been fixed.
- Some unnecessary logs have been removed.
- Now all modal dialogues are correctly closed when the plug-in is disabled.
Refactor
- Several interfaces have been moved to the separated library.
- Translations have been moved to each language file, and during the build, they are merged into one file.
- Non-mobile friendly code has been removed and replaced with the safer code.
- Started writing Platform impedance-matching-layer.
- Svelte has been updated to v5.
- Some function have got more robust type definitions.
- Terser optimisation has slightly improved.
- During the build, analysis meta-file of the bundled codes will be generated.
- 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.
