Improvements for all users:

• Fix synchronization bugs when merging and overwriting folders.

Improvements for macOS users:

• Better support for APFS

See also known issues.

Synchronization Improvements & TOS Notification

Improvements for all users:

• Improved timestamp conflict handling (see 3.9.0-beta.1)
• New diff-based data comparison algorithm (see 3.9.0-beta.1)
• Improved file move + overwrite handling (see 3.9.0-beta.2)
• New TOS update dialog (see 3.9.0-beta.2)

Improvements for Windows & macOS users:

• Initial scan properly ignores platform-incompatible remote files (see 3.9.0-beta.1)

Note for GNOME 3.28 or later users:

• Better use TopIcons, not TopIcons-Plus (see 3.9.0-beta.1)

Move-overwrite File & TOS Update Dialog

Improvements for all users:

• Moving a file to overwrite an existing one is now effectively synchronized
  as expected.
• Users don't look at the systray popover so often. So people who have not
  accepted the new TOS may be unaware that the synchronization is currently
  paused. The app now shows up a reminder dialog on start when appropriate.

Latest Timestamp, Diff, Incompatible Files & Initial Scan

Improvements for all users:

• When a file or directory exists in the cozy, the app will never try to
  assign it an older timestamp anymore. This will ensure synchronization still
  works, even when the local timestamp is actually more accurate than the remote
  one. We'll later introduce a way to save the correct timestamp without being
  rejected by the Cozy.
• The data comparison algorithm is now diff-based. This will help us investigate
  a very rare (but hard to fix) bug where a file is detected as modified while
  no change is actually visible.

Improvements for Windows & macOS users:

• When a file or directory couldn't not be synchronized locally because of
  some platform incompatibility (e.g. reserved character), it will be properly
  ignored during initial scan after restarting the app.

Improvements for support:

• Summarized and detailed traces are now always stored together to make
  analysis easier.

Note for GNOME 3.28 or later users:

• You may have to switch from TopIcons-Plus back to good old TopIcons in case
  the app doesn't show up when clicking on the tray icon, whatever the app
  version.

Overlapping file updates, Office temporary files, macOS favorite

There was no 3.8.0 stable release since we had to release a 3.8.1-alpha first.
So 3.8.1 is the first stable release since 3.7.0.

Improvements for all users:

• When a change could not be applied on the other side, the document was not
  considered up-to-date anymore on the source side. This was fixed as part of
  the 3.8.0-beta.1 release.

Improvements for Windows users:

• Office temporary files should be effectively ignored since
  3.8.0-beta.1 too.

Improvements for macOS users:

• In macOS 10.13 (High Sierra), Apple removed the feature we were using to add
  the Cozy Drive directory to the Finder's favorite items. We had to find
  another way to bring it back. It should work as expected now.

Improvements for developers / contributors:

• One step less to build the app: yarn build:core is not needed anymore. If
  you were using yarn build, it should work the same as before. But now you
  won't have to rebuild in case of a core change before running the GUI.
  Less dependencies. Shorter stacktraces. This also fixed a few oddities.
• We also improved logs and jq filters.

Required user action completion

3.7.0-beta.3 - 2018-06-12

Improvements for all users:

• The app should detect (may take between 5 seconds and 1 minute according to
  elapsed time between click inside the app and completion) when required user
  action has been completed (i.e. new TOS validation) and restart
  automatically.

Improvements for developers:

• New jq file extension/gui/issues filters for logs
