cozy-desktop

Improvements for all users:

• The remaining files counter didn't update anymore when encountering a
  synchronization error. Everything should work as expected now.
• We also fixed a couple of issues regarding the popover positioning. It should
  now properly detect the systray position and orientation. Please tell us in
  case the popover still shows up at weird locations on your desktop.
• We were using a temporary fix for some third-party component to make sure
  auto-update was working on Windows. The issue was fixed upstream and the
  component upgraded. Please tell us in case you still encounter auto-update
  issues, especially on Windows.

Happy syncing!

Improvements for all users:

• When creating a folder with some platform-incompatible character in the name
  (e.g. :), then renaming to a valid name, its content is now correctly synchronized.

Happy syncing!

Improvements for all users:

• Added more logs to better debug performance and compatibilities issues.
• All improvements from 3.4.3-beta.1

Improvements for all users:

• During onboarding, you can now copy whatever URL from your browser pointing to
  your Cozy-hosted instance and paste it as your Cozy address in the
  configuration window. When submitted, the application will identify the
  corresponding Cozy address and remove the useless parts for you. Please tell
  us in case you find an URL that doesn't work. Also please note that there is
  no such automation for self-hosted users for now.
• You'll get quicker visual feedback when trying to select a non-empty directory
  as your synced location.
• In some rare cases, users ended up with a few files improperly uploaded to
  their Cozy. Those files were never considered up-to-date by the app,
  triggering useless synchronization cycles. They will now be detected and not
  synchronized indefinitely. Final work to improve upload reliability is planned
  for week 7 or 8.
• Support requests sent from the help form will now include more debugging and
  benchmarking information (including the application & OS versions). Please
  note debugging information only include filenames as usual, and benchmarking
  information only include time spent on various operations. This will help us
  to improve the overall performances.
• The documentation now lists the supported
  Windows
  and macOS
  versions. Work was previously done on the
  GNU/Linux
  side.
• An issue was fixed were the application was trying to put the focus

Improvements for GNU/Linux users:

• The application now tries to detect and display a user-friendly message when
  the system glibc is too old to run properly. Please note we may possibly try
  to lower the bar regarding the required version at some point.

Improvements for all users:

• Synchronization & a few performance improvements
• Starting the app when already running will show the popover
• The Cozy configuration should be more user-friendly (including automatic address correction)
• Better support for Windows/macOS workspaces
• And more... Please see the beta releases for more details.

Improvements for all users

• Improvements on synchronization, especially for moves or when changing files
  on both sides.

Improvements for early adopters with old Cozy instances:

• Recover when Cozy contains invalid data

Improvements for GNU/Linux users:

• We are progressively listing
  supported distributions.

Improvements for developers:

• yarn repl works again, with useful helpers, also introduced yarn cozy-stack.

Improvements for Unity users:

• You can now open the application from the tray icon.

Improvements for all users:

• Attempting to restart the application will open the popover.
• Improve the design of error case on Cozy address wizard step.
• Minimal performance improvements. More soon!

See known issues.

Happy syncing!

Improvements for all users:

• To mitigate performance issues, we temporarily prevented choosing a non-empty
  directory to synchronize.
• Heuristic-based Cozy address correction

See known issues.

Happy syncing!

Improvements for all users:

• The onboarding includes a few more improvements for people not familiar with URL.
• We fixed an issue that prevented disconnecting the app from the Cozy.

Improvements for Windows users:

• Files checksum computation will be retried a few times when file is busy.

See known issues.

Happy syncing!

Improvements for all users:

• The app should now log and recover from remote files with an invalid parent
  directory. This issue was happening rarely and only on old Cozy instances.
• Showing up the popover near the systray could fail in rare cases for unknown
  reasons. We temporarily fixed the issue by falling back to showing the popover
  in the middle of the screen. Please send us a support request from the app in
  case it happens to you, so we can get all the information we were missing to
  fix it for good.

See known issues.

Happy syncing!

Improvements for all users:

• The app now shows the popover on the current workspace.
• We fixed an edge case where moving files or folders before or after moving
  their source or destination was generating a conflict.
• We also fixed another case where a folder created or moved locally could end
  up with the wrong last modification date.

See known issues.

Happy syncing!

Improvements for all users:

• It was possible in some specific cases to mess up the synchronization by
  moving around files & folders during the analysis phase. This is fixed now.
  Feel free to move everything around anytime :)
• In some cases, moving then immediately deleting a file was handled as 2
  distinct actions. The file is now directly detected as deleted.
• The Cozy address page shown during onboarding should now be clearer for people
  not familiar with URL.
• When disconnecting then reconnecting to your Cozy, you could eventually see
  your old files for a few seconds in the dashboard. The fix was published in
  an old minor release, but not properly integrated to the subsequent releases.
  This is fixed now.

Improvements for support team & developers:

• Support requests from the app are now sent to the usual support email.
• Code coverage is back

See known issues.

Happy syncing!

See 3.4.1-beta.1 and 3.4.1-beta.2 release notes.

Happy syncing!

Improvements for all users:

• Fix weird packaging issue (detail)

Known issue for GNU/Linux users:

• The systray icon may appear twice (with only one icon actually working).
  Workaround: quit and restart. This should not happen on subsequent updates.

Happy syncing!

Improvements for all users:

• Deleting the synchronization folder will not trash all files on the cozy.

Changes for technical users (contributors, packagers, CLI users):

• Builds are now made in CI, which will allow us to quickly send patched versions for specific issues before they make it to the master, as well as quicker testing, so hopefully quicker releases.

Improvements for all users:

• The new quit button now appears busy once clicked.
• We added a missing french translation for the new message showing when
  selecting your whole system or personal folder to be synced.

Changes for technical users (contributors, packagers, CLI users):

• We moved to a new flat repository layout: single npm package, single runtime
  (electron), single node version (the electron one). This is a first step to
  make development easier and faster. The CLI & code coverage support are
  temporarily disabled. We should bring them back at some point, although the
  CLI will probably depend on the electron runtime for now.

See known issues.

Happy syncing!

Improvements for GNU/Linux users:

• Auto-update works!
• Auto-launch on system startup too!
• The application should now be visible as expected on alt+tab.

Improvements for all users:

• Invalid cozy address detection was improved, including automatic detection of
  mycoSy.cloud with an s instead of mycoZy.cloud with a z (which seems
  to be a common mistake).
• The app also detects and prevent synchronizing your whole system or personal
  folder.
• Auto-update should be more reliable.

See known issues.

Happy syncing!

Improvements for GNU/Linux users:

• First release!
• Download the *.AppImage file for your architecture, move it wherever you want, make it executable and run it (see details).
• Since GNOME 3 doesn't have a systray anymore by default, you may need to install some third-party extension (e.g. TopIcons-Plus).

Improvements for macOS users:

• The previous 3.3.1 fix regarding application visibility only worked when you
  had not pinned the Cozy Drive application in the dock. This should always work from now.

Improvements for all users:

• We upgraded a major third-party component of the application, which may fix
  a few bugs related to the user interface (including the application hanging
  when started multiple times).

See known issues.

Happy syncing!

Improvements for all users:

• The Cozy Drive app now tries to automatically detect and use any configured
  proxy (including authentication, i.e. Kerberos authentication should
  just work).
  We also added a few command-line options and environment variables to force
  the configuration as needed:
  • --proxy-script path/to/your/script.pac or
    COZY_DRIVE_PROXY_SCRIPT=path/to/your/script.pac
  • --proxy-ntlm-domains '*example.com,*foobar.com,*baz' or
    COZY_DRIVE_PROXY_NTLM_DOMAINS='*example.com,*foobar.com,*baz' to specify
    servers for which integrated authentication is enabled (use '*' for all
    servers).
  • --login-by-realm 'realm1:login1:password1,realm2:login2:password2' or
    COZY_DRIVE_LOGIN_BY_REALM='realm1:login1:password1,realm2:login2:password2'
    to pass credentials manually.
  • --proxy-rules, --proxy-bypassrules, COZY_DRIVE_PROXY_RULES and
    COZY_DRIVE_PROXYBYPASSRULES for specifying which proxy should be used in
    which case (see details).
    Please tell us in case you still can't run the Cozy Drive app behind your
    proxy so we can support as many configurations as possible.
• We also fixed an edge case where simultaneous moves ended up with files in the
  Cozy / OS trash. Expect a few more fixes very soon.

Improvements for macOS users:

• The app is not visible anymore in the dock and with Cmd+Tab when running in
  the background or showing the popover from the systray. It now behaves more
  like other systray-running apps. Also expect a few more fixes regarding
  systray integration.

See known issues.

Happy syncing!

Improvements for all users:

• Some miscellaneous style and translations fixes
