v3.40.0-beta.2

Improvements for all users:

• Desktop will now track local deletions in a way that permits cancelling the
  deletion if the document is brought back before the deletion could be applied
  on the remote Cozy.
• We've activated the realtime retrieval of changes from your Cozy that was
  hidden behind a flag.
  You should now see great improvements in the synchronization of remote
  changes, especially small ones.

Improvements for macOS users:

• Some close movements of the same document could be interpreted as a deletion.
  This is now fixed and Desktop will synchronize a movement from the source
  path of the first movement to the destination path of the last one.

Let's be real

Improvements for all users:

• ✨ We will now fetch the latest changes from your Cozy as soon as they've been
  made (with some delay in case many changes were made).
  This feature is hidden behind a flag so we can do more tests in live
  conditions before releasing it to everybody.
• ✨ OpenOffice lock files won't be synchronized anymore.
• ✨ The onboarding window will now honor _blank link targets during the
  onboarding process by opening the targeted URL in a default browser tab
  rather than a new Cozy Desktop window.
• 🐛 Cozy Desktop will now stop its processes when power is suspended and restart
  them when power is resumed. This should speed up suspension and prevent
  unwanted wake ups in some situations but, mostly it will ensure that
  processes are fully functional when power is resumed (we could lose the
  remote watcher leading to missed remote changes).
• 🐛 We fixed an issue in the detection of changes to synchronize (i.e. after
  they've been detected either on the local filesystem or the remote Cozy)
  which could lead to the synchronization process hanging until the application
  is restarted.
• 🔧 We fixed our network configuration as it was preventing the realtime manager,
  responsible for fetching changes from your Cozy as soon as they've bee made,
  to create a connection with the Cozy.

Improvements for macOS users:

• 🐛 We've made improvements to the local changes watcher to make sure that
  detected changes batches are not processed concurrently as this could lead to
  unexpected behavior. These also ensure that stopping the application while
  the initial local synchronization directory is being scanned will not lead to
  documents being sent to the trash without reason.

Release v3.39.0-beta.6 (#2328)

Improvements for all users:

• We fixed a regression introduced in the remote watcher that could lead to a
  stuck synchronization process after an error such as failing to create a
  conflict on the remote Cozy.

Release v3.39.0-beta.5 (#2326)

Improvements for all users:

• 🐛 Cozy Desktop will now stop its processes when power is suspended and restart

  unwanted wake ups in some situations but, mostly it will ensure that
  processes are fully functional when power is resumed (we could lose the
  remote watcher leading to missed remote changes).

Release v3.38.0 (#2303)

Improvements for all users:

• 🔧 We've activated the partial synchronization feature by default. It can still
  be disabled by setting the
  settings.partial-desktop-sync.show-synced-folders-selection flag to false
  either in the client's config or on the Cozy itself.
• ✨ Google Chrome's temporary download files will now be ignored by the local
  changes watcher.
  This will prevent synchronization attempts while the file is being downloaded
  as they will most probably fail and are useless since the temporary file will
  be removed in the end.
• 🐛 We'll now try to synchronize documents that were modified even after multiple
  previous failed attempts as the new changes might fix the previous issues.

Improvements for Windows users:

• 🐛 Documents trashed or erased on the remote Cozy will now be erased on the local
  filesystem when they cannot be trashed (because the Trash is configured to be
  skipped or because the synchronized directory is located on a network disk
  without any Trash).
  This will prevent de-synchronization between the local filesystem and the
  remote Cozy and thus prevent future errors.

Improvements for Linux users:

• 🔧 We reverted our build machine Ubuntu version back to v20.04 as newer versions
  make our native addons such as the Linux local watcher incompatible with some
  current LTS versions of popular distributions like Ubuntu and Debian.
  This change does not have short term drawbacks.
