0.25

Since 19th July, 2025 (beta1 in 0.25.0-beta1, 13th July, 2025)

The head note of 0.25 is now in updates_old.md. Because 0.25 got a lot of updates, thankfully, compatibility is kept and we do not need breaking changes! In other words, when get enough stabled. The next version will be v1.0.0. Even though it my hope.

0.25.36

25th December, 2025

Improved

• Now the garbage collector (V3) has been implemented. (Beta)
  • This garbage collector ensures that all devices are synchronised to the latest progress to prevent inconsistencies.
  • In other words, it makes sure that no new conflicts would have arisen.
    • This feature requires additional information (via node information), but it should be more reliable.
    • This feature requires all devices have v0.25.36 or later.
  • After the garbage collector runs, the database size may be reduced (Compaction will be run automatically after GC).
    • We should have an administrative privilege on the remote database to run this garbage collector.
• Now the plug-in and device information is stored in the remote database.
  • This information is used for the garbage collector (V3).
  • Some additional features may be added in the future using this information.

0.25.35

24th December, 2025

Sorry for a small release! I would like to keep things moving along like this if possible. After all, the holidays seem to be starting soon. I will be doubled by my business until the 27th though, indeed.

Fixed

• Now the conflict resolution dialogue shows correctly which device only has older APIs (#764).

0.25.34

10th December, 2025

Behaviour change

• 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.

0.25.33

05th December, 2025

New feature

• We can analyse the local database with the Analyse database usage command.
  • This command makes a TSV-style report of the database usage, which can be pasted into spreadsheet applications.
    • The report contains the number of unique chunks and shared chunks for each document revision.
      • Unique chunks indicate the actual consumption.
      • Shared chunks indicate the reference counts from other chunks with no consumption.
    • We can find which notes or files are using large amounts of storage in the database. Or which notes cannot share chunks effectively.
    • This command is useful when optimising the database size or investigating an unexpectedly large database size.
• 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.
• Commands are available from the Command Palette, or Hatch pane in the settings dialogue.

Fixed

• Now the plug-in resets the remote size notification threshold after rebuild.

0.25.32

02nd December, 2025

Now I am back from a short (?) break! Thank you all for your patience. (It is nothing major, but the first half of the year has finally come to an end). Anyway, I will release the things a bit by bit. I think that we need a rehabilitation or getting gears in again.

Improved

• Now the plugin warns when we are in several file-related situations that may cause unexpected behaviour (#300).
  • These errors are displayed alongside issues such as file size exceeding limits.
  • Such situations include:
    • When the document has a name which is not supported by some file systems.
    • When the vault has the same file names with different letter cases.

0.25.31

18th November, 2025

Fixed

• Now fetching configuration from the server can handle the empty remote correctly (reported on #756).
• No longer asking to switch adapters during rebuilding.

0.25.30

17th November, 2025

So sorry for the quick follow-up release, due to a humble mistake in a quick causing a matter.

Fixed

• Now we can save settings correctly again (#756).

0.25.28 0.25.29

(0.25.28 was skipped due to a packaging issue.)

17th November, 2025

New feature

• 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.

0.25.27

12th November, 2025

Improved

• Now we can switch the database adapter between IndexedDB and IDB without rebuilding (#747).
  • Just a local migration will be required, but faster than a full rebuild.
• 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).
