### 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.
- We can analyse the local database with the `Analyse database usage` command.

- P2P Replication got more robust and stable.
### Breaking changes

- 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.

### Dependency updates
- Many dependencies are updated. Please see `package.json`.

### Refactored
- Removed some unnecessary intermediate files.

- The extensive LiveSyncLocalDB has been split into separate files for each role.
- 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.
