Keep tryin', you'll make it
Improvements for all users:
- Some synchronization errors will now be notified to you within the main window
with information about the error itself and how to fix it. Although automatic
retries will be performed in the background, you'll have the opportunity to
request an early retry via the interface.
Know that the synchronization will be blocked by the failing change until it
can finally be applied. This should avoid a lot of automatically dropped
changes as we would otherwise stop retrying after the third failed attempt. - We upgraded the framework upon which our application is built, Electron, to
v11.1.1 which is the latest stable version. This should bring more stability
to the application overall and fix an issue on macOS Big Sur which was
preventing the application from restarting after an upgrade. - We've changed the way we handle the simultaneous deletions of the same
document on the remote Cozy and the local filesystem so that any resulting
synchronization conflict is only temporary (i.e. you would see an error
message but it should be resolved during the following retry). - Clients can now be disconnected from the remote Cozy even if it is no longer
reachable (e.g. completely deleted or deleted after being moved to another
domain). The local configuration and database will be wiped out. - We'll now verify if the Cozy has enough space before uploading files to avoid
wasting time and resources to get an error at the end of the upload. - Sometimes, the creation and modification dates of documents created on the
remote Cozy at the initiative of the desktop client are different from those
supplied by the client. This can come from the presence of EXIF metadata in
photos for example. To avoid any refusal by the Cozy to apply future actions
on these documents, we will now always pass the most recent modification date
between that of the file system and that of the Cozy in requests sent to the
Cozy. - We're now making sure the list of recently synchronized files persisted to
disk includes only one occurrence of each file since we display only one of
them. With this change, the displayed list will always contain 250 elements
once this number is reached.

Happy syncing!
