It's OK not to be present

Improvements for all users:

• 🐛 We fixed another issue with the latest data migration. It affected users who
  had deleted directories which were still known to the local PouchDB database.
  Missing directories will now be handled appropriately.

Slowing down

Improvements for all users:

• 🐛 We fixed an issue with a data migration shipped with the previous release. It
  affected clients connected to Cozies with a large number of directories.

Who needs conflicts?

Improvements for all users:

• ✨ The client should create fewer conflicts on files as we've improved the
  decision logic when dealing with conflicting local and remote changes. If the
  local content can be found in one of its old versions stored on the remote
  Cozy then the client will overwrite it with the remote content instead of
  creating a conflict.
  If that decision was not the one the user expected then the overwritten
  content can still be retrieved from the remote Cozy via the file's versions.
• ⚡ Fetching new remote changes will now be faster as we've removed some network
  calls that are not necessary anymore.
• 🐛 We fixed a bug affecting sub-directories of sub-directories of directories
  moved on the remote Cozy. These could not be updated from the local filesystem
  anymore, triggering Invalid Metadata errors when the client would try to
  synchronize the local modifications (e.g. a move).
  All directories that were affected will be fixed by a data migration upon
  restart of the client.
• 🐛 During the client's on-boarding process, clicking on the ToS link (or any link
  pointing to a URL ending with .pdf) will open the pointed URL within the
  external browser rather than the on-boarding window.
• 🐛 Network errors during the synchronization of a change should not result in a
  blocked synchronization anymore.
• 🐛 Network errors during a file transfer either from or to the remote Cozy will
  now be handled properly, restarting the transfer until too many errors are
  encountered and the global error handling mechanism takes over.

All the things!

Improvements for all users:

• ✨ The URL validation step of the on-boarding wizard is now able to detect your
  Cozy root URL in more complex URLs (e.g. a photo album URL copied from your
  Cozy Photos app in your browser).
• ✨ When the server hosting your Cozy experiences issues, the Desktop client will
  display a specific error message instead of telling you that no internet
  connection is detected.
• ✨ Files being transferred to or from your Cozy will now be displayed in the main
  window's Recent tab with progress information.
• ✨ You will now be able to completely reinitialize your Desktop client's
  synchronization from the Settings tab without having to disconnect and then
  reconnect your remote Cozy. Your selective synchronization configuration will
  thus be kept.
• ✨ You can now open your Cozy within a Desktop window with a Ctrl-click
  (Cmd-click on macOS) on the "Open Cozy" button in the main window. You will
  have to enter your credentials the first time.
• ✨ You can now open folders in your Cozy with a Ctrl-click (Cmd-click on macOS)
  on folder paths in the Recent tab of the main window or the "Open folder"
  button.
• ✨ Paths displayed in synchronization error messages for changes coming from the
  remote Cozy will now open in Cozy Drive Web since they might not exist on the
  local filesystem and the solution probably resides in remote actions.
• ✨ Confirmation dialogs for reinitializing the synchronization and unlinking the
  remote Cozy are more homogeneous and will prevent the main window from closing
  until the requested action is confirmed or canceled.
• 🐛 Sub-directories excluded from a Desktop client's synchronization and their
  content won't be fetched anymore when their parent directory is re-included.
• 🐛 Old files with a creation date seemingly more recent than their last
  modification date can now be moved or renamed. Their last modification date
  will be updated in the process to match the most recent date available.
• 🔧 Re-included directories that need their content to be fetched manually will be
  marked as such until their content is actually retrieved so we can resume the
  operation in case Cozy Desktop is stopped in the middle.

Improvements for macOS users:

• 🐛 You should not see conflicts created anymore when a remote document whose name
  contains multiple utf-8 characters encoded with NFC and NFD norms is
  downloaded and saved on your local filesystem.
