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.
- 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.
### New Features
- Automatic display-language changing according to the Obsidian language
setting.
- Now we can limit files to be synchronised even in the hidden files.
- "Use Request API to avoid `inevitable` CORS problem" has been implemented.
- `Show status icon instead of file warnings banner` has been implemented.
### Improved
- All regular expressions can be inverted by prefixing `!!` now.
### Fixed
- No longer unexpected files will be gathered during hidden file sync.
- No longer broken `\n` and new-line characters during the bucket
synchronisation.
- We can purge the remote bucket again if we using MinIO instead of AWS S3 or
Cloudflare R2.
- Purging the remote bucket is now more reliable.
- Some wrong messages have been fixed.
### Behaviour changed
- Entering into the deeper directories to gather the hidden files is now limited
by `/` or `\/` prefixed ignore filters.
### Etcetera
- Some code has been tidied up.
- Trying less warning-suppressing and be more safer-coding.
- Dependent libraries have been updated to the latest version.
- Some build processes have been separated to `pre` and `post` processes.
- Now, we can send custom headers to the server.
- Authentication with JWT in CouchDB is now supported.
### Improved
- The QR Code for set-up can be shown also from the setting dialogue now.
- Conflict checking for preventing unexpected overwriting on the boot-up process has been quite faster.
### Fixed
- Some bugs on Dev and Testing modules have been fixed.
### Fixed
- Resolving conflicts of JSON files (and sensibly merging them) is now working fine, again!
- And, failure logs are more informative.
- More robust to release the event listeners on unwatching the local database.
### Refactored
- JSON file conflict resolution dialogue has been rewritten into svelte v5.
- Upgrade eslint.
- Remove unnecessary pragma comments for eslint.
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.
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.
