Dark mode calendar

This release adds a bunch of UI improvements. We implement dark mode in the calendar app and fix the event detail and creation popups sometimes going off the screen. The peergos dir chooser when setting up a sync now lets you create new directories inline.

Flatpak is the recommended installation method for Linux: https://flatpak.peergos.org

Features:

• Dark mode in calendar
• Mkdir in sync setup
• Choose your language (overriding the browser setting)
• Support apps writing in secret links, e.g. a writable secret link to a calendar can create events
• Show next charge amount and date in UI
• Confirm any plan change before committing

Optimisations:

• Parallelise S3 partitioning

Fixes:

• Calendar event creation and detail modal don't go off the screen
• User menu doesn't go off the screen
• Handle S3 rate limits better
• Don't proxy version calls in apps
• Use owner is auth read calls!

User partitioned blockstores

This release uses OS managed webviews for the desktop apps, giving a more conventional desktop experience. Blockstores are now partitioned by user. This makes GC scale independently of the number of users on a server. Existing servers are automatically upgraded and partitioned with a live migration whilst still handling traffic. This is a purely server side change, so older clients continue to work.

Flatpak is now the recommended installation method for Linux: https://flatpak.peergos.org

Features:

• Standalone GUI in desktop apps
• Allow pasting a file into the same directory (rename it).
• German translation
• Choose language (override browser setting)
• Support yugabyte DB
• Use sqlite instead of H2 for dht record store
• Generic util to sync a local folder with an S3 bucket
• Support mirroring an S3 based server directly from S3
• Update quic implementation

Optimisations:

• Stream retrieving children in huge dirs in sync client
• Remove unneeded DB connections
• Drop stale DHT peers from routing table

Fixes:

• Drive list view headings
• Fix signup with a network failure
• Handle running out of inodes in file block cache
• Fix bug syncing modified large files
• Incorrect hashtree calculation
• Enforce max follow request size
• Fix inode filesystem cap removal
• Fix ranged webdav PUTs
• Make file block buffer writes atomic
• Fix native crypto libraries on Android. Dropping scrypt from 20s back to 200ms.
• Foregound sync service correctly on Android. Stopping the frequent killing of the sync task.

Features:

• Quic transport enabled
• Thumbnails/icons in list view
• Persist if we are in grid/list view, and sort order
• Persist if sidebar is open

Blazingly fast folder loads

This release makes the ui load directories asynchronously, making them much faster to display. We extend the cryptree format to allow showing the mimetype, creation time and if it is a directory before loading the child. Whilst a directory is loading you can still open a subdir or file. We also show the number of direct children for a dir in list view, or "> 500 items" for the size.

Features:

• Lazy loading directories
• Show count of children in directory for size in list view

Optimisations:

• Blazingly fast dir loading
• Parallelise block gets in S3 mirror

Fixes:
None

Features:

• Video thumbnail generation in android sync
• Much more reliable p2p http requests
• Improve sync instructions

Adios bitswap

This release stops using bitswap to retrieve blocks, instead using p2p http requests. We still serve blocks over bitswap for now. We also have a universal debian build. This means we don't need separate Ubuntu and Debian installers, and the deb has no dependencies. The deb is also more compatible across major versions of Ubuntu, Mint etc.

Features:

• Retrieve blocks over http not bitswap - much more reliable p2p logins
• Support S3 glacier storage for write only live mirrored backups. GC can run without restoration from Glacier
• Upload rate limit - a configurable upload limit per user of their quota per month
• S3 read bandwidth and request count rate limits, both per user and per server
• Return BATs in Nabu block.stat call
• Support edn clojure mimetype used by Logsec

Optimisations:

• Much faster p2p server mirror
• Cache empty champ.gets which happen on most dir listings

Fixes:

• Fix sync host dir chooser on windows
• Fix webp thumbnail creation in native image sync
• Don't update mod time when creating a thumbnail
• Always show sync icon with message to use desktop and mobile app if not already
• Add sync to tour
