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.
- 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.
### Improved
#### Peer-to-Peer
- Now peer-to-peer synchronisation checks the settings are compatible with each other.
- Peer-to-peer synchronisation now handles the platform and detects pseudo-clients.
#### General
- New migration method has been implemented, that called `Doctor`.
- The minimum interval for replication to be caused when an event occurs can now be configurable.
- Some detail note has been added and change nuance about the `Report` in the setting dialogue, which had less informative.
### Behaviour and default changed
- `Compute revisions for chunks` are backed into enabled again. it is necessary for garbage collection of chunks.
### Refactored
- Platform specific codes are more separated. No longer `node` modules were used in the browser and Obsidian.
### Fixed
#### General Replication
- No longer unexpected errors occur when the replication is stopped during for some reason (e.g., network disconnection).
#### Peer-to-Peer Synchronisation
- Set-up process will not receive data from unexpected sources.
- No longer resource leaks while enabling the `broadcasting changes`
- Logs are less verbose.
- Received data is now correctly dispatched to other devices.
- `Timeout` error now more informative.
- No longer timeout error occurs for reporting the progress to other devices.
- Decision dialogues for the same thing are not shown multiply at the same time anymore.
- Disconnection of the peer-to-peer synchronisation is now more robust and less error-prone.
#### Webpeer
- Now we can toggle Peers' configuration.
### Refactored
- Cross-platform compatibility layer has been improved.
- Common events are moved to the common library.
- Displaying replication status of the peer-to-peer synchronisation is separated from the main-log-logic.
- Some file names have been changed to be more consistent.
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.
