- 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.
- The plug-in automatically fetches the missing chunks even if `Fetch chunks on demand` is disabled.
- This change is to avoid loss of data when receiving a bulk of revisions.
- This can be prevented by enabling `Use Only Local Chunks` in the settings.
- Storage application now saved during each event and restored on startup.
- Synchronisation result application is also now saved during each event and restored on startup.
- These may avoid some unexpected loss of data when the editor crashes.
### Fixed
- Now the plug-in waits for the application of pended batch changes before the synchronisation starts.
- This may avoid some unexpected loss or unexpected conflicts.
Plug-in sends custom headers correctly when RequestAPI is used.
- No longer causing unexpected chunk creation during `Reset synchronisation on This Device` with bucket sync.
### Refactored
- Synchronisation result application process has been refactored.
- Storage application process has been refactored.
- Please report if you find any unexpected behaviour after this update. A bit of large refactoring.
- We can analyse the local database with the `Analyse database usage` command.
- We can reset the notification threshold and check the remote usage at once with the `Reset notification threshold and check the remote database usage` command.
### Fixed
- Now the plug-in resets the remote size notification threshold after rebuild.
- 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.
- Now we can switch the database adapter between IndexedDB and IDB without rebuilding (#747).
- No longer checking for the adapter by `Doctor`.
### Changes
- The default adapter is reverted to IDB to avoid memory leaks (#747).
### Fixed (?)
- Reverted QR code library to v1.4.4 (To make sure #752).
#### JWT Authentication
- Now we can use JWT Authentication ES512 correctly (#742).
- Several misdirections in the Setting dialogues have been fixed (i.e., seconds and minutes confusion...).
- The key area in the Setting dialogue has been enlarged and accepts newlines correctly.
- Caching of JWT tokens now works correctly
- Tokens are now cached and reused until they expire.
- They will be kept until 10% of the expiration duration is remaining or 10 seconds, whichever is longer (but at a maximum of 1 minute).
- JWT settings are now correctly displayed on the Setting dialogue.
#### Other fixes
- Receiving non-latest revisions no longer causes unexpected overwrites.
- On receiving revisions that made conflicting changes, we are still able to handle them.
### Improved
- No longer duplicated message notifications are shown when a connection to the remote server fails.
- Instead, a single notification is shown, and it will be kept on the notification area inside the editor until the situation is resolved.
- The notification area is no longer imposing, distracting, and overwhelming.
- With a pale background, but bordered and with icons.
- 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.
- 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.
- Chunk fetching no longer reports errors when the fetched chunk could not be saved (#710).
- Just using the fetched chunk temporarily.
- Chunk fetching reports errors when the fetched chunk is surely corrupted (#710, #712).
- It no longer detects files that the plug-in has modified.
- It may reduce unnecessary file comparisons and unexpected file states.
### Improved
- Now checking the remote database configuration respecting the CouchDB version (#714).
- Property encryption detection now works correctly (On Self-hosted LiveSync, it was not broken, but as a library, it was not working correctly).
- Initialising the chunk splitter is now surely performed.
- DirectFileManipulator now works fine (as a library)
- Old `DirectFileManipulatorV1` is now removed.
### Refactored
- Removed some unnecessary intermediate files.
- We can perform Garbage Collection (Beta2) without rebuilding the entire database, and also fetch the database.
### Fixed
- Resetting the bucket now properly clears all uploaded files.
### Refactored
- Some files have been moved to better reflect their purpose and improve maintainability.
- The extensive LiveSyncLocalDB has been split into separate files for each role.
- CORS Checking messages now use replacements.
- Configuring CORS setting via the UI now respects the existing rules.
- Now startup-checking works correctly again, performs migration check serially and then it will also fix starting LiveSync or start-up sync. (#696)

### Fixed
- Off-loaded chunking have been fixed to ensure proper functionality (#693).
- Chunk document ID assignment has been fixed.
- Replication prevention message during version up detection has been improved (#686).

### New Features
- `Scan for Broken files` has been implemented on `Hatch` -> `TroubleShooting`.
### Refactored
- Off-loaded processes have been refactored for the better maintainability.
- Removed unused code.
- 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
