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

Make Auto-Update Error Transparent

Improvements for all users:

• The app won't display an error in case of an auto-update failure. Errors
  are logged anyway and auto-update will be retried automatically at some
  point.

Improvements for developers:

• Developers won't have to wait for the above error to disappear.

Handle Emptied Folder & User Action Required

Improvements for all users:

• The app now detects when the Cozy Drive folder was made empty while it
  used to have contents before. Synchronization is stopped. User can either
  restart later in case the folder is a mount point that was not available
  yet, or delete the root folder before restart to actually restart from
  scratch.
• Warnings from the Cozy instance (e.g. TOS updates) are now detected.
  A bottom banner is shown in the UI prompting the user to read the detail
  before the deadline. After the deadline, synchronisation is stopped and
  reading the detail will be mandatory.
• We also fixed an issue that was preventing some errors to be correctly
  written in logs.

Improvements for developers:

• Logs are dumped on failing test (will help debugging random CI issues)
• Upgrade to Go 1.9 & Couchdb 2.1 on Travis CI

Recently moved/renamed files & renewed Windows code-signing certificate

Improvements for all users:

• Moved & renamed files are now listed in the Recents tab.

Improvements for Windows users:

• Starting from this beta release, the app should be signed with our renewed
  certificate.

Recents tab

Improvements for all users:

• The Recents tab is now clearer and more reliable.
• The app will suggest sending support requests from each desktop device you own
  so we can pinpoint multi-device issues.

Improvements for developers & support team:

• You can now filter log entries on multiple path fields (e.g.
  yarn jq 'filter_path("pattern")')
• User-sent logs archive extension now matches the actual format.
• Logs also include less noise.

Improved polling, trashing, error handling & UI fixes

Improvements for all users:

• The app won't poll the Cozy anymore when descendant synchronization is
  already in progress.
• Errors occurring during auto-update are now properly reported to the user,
  with a generic message by default and a more specific one whenever possible
  (e.g. permission issue or disk full).
• The app also properly waits for dir trashing to succeed (issue introduced
  in 3.6.0-beta.1).
• The icon used in the systray window header is now the official blue one on
  Windows and GNU/Linux (we still use the symbolic icon on macOS since it
  integrates better with the overall desktop environment).

Improvements for Windows users:

• We set up a temporary workaround for a bug in electron that is preventing
  notifications to show up on Windows.

Improvements for i3wm (and possibly other tiling window managers) users:

• You can now force an option so the systray Window stays visible when loosing
  focus (please look at the GNU/Linux documentation
  for more details). Please tell us whether or not it also helps with other
  tiling window managers.

Improve startup

Improvements for all users:

• The app won't recompute the checksum of a file when its last modification
  date has not changed.

Improve moved dir/file synchronization

Improvements for all users:

• Electron was upgraded from 1.7.9 to 1.8.3 (including quite a few security and
  bug fixes).
• The file/directory move synchronization logic (the part that takes
  already-merged metadata changes and turn them into actions on the other side)
  was substantially rewritten to make it more robust and handle more complex
  cases (e.g. moving a/ to b/ then c/ to a/, or moving a/ to b/ then
  deleting b/).
• A file won't be updated when only its mtime changed. This is a first necessary
  step to later stop computing checksums for files with unmodified mtime, making
  the initial scan faster.

Improvements for macOS and BSD users:

• We fixed a weird recurring error that was generating useless logging on every
  run.

Improvements for developers and support team:

• ES6 modules were replaced with node.js ones. This is a first necessary step
  to get rid of Babel, simplify our build process and make stacktraces smaller
  and easier to read.
• The app now waits for the configuration to be loaded before logging full
  client information (not just some part of it).
• We introduced a few jq filters to help
  filtering huge logs. Those should work well with multiple huge log files
  (e.g. > 1GB).
