This updates focuses on bug fixes and performance improvements. Notably, it reduces the memory usage of the GUI by ~ 30MB. If you are upgrading from v0.2.4 or earlier, please perform an incremental update to v0.4.3 first (see Removed section).

Changed:

  • Show a progress dialog while checking for updates when requested by the user.
  • Show an error message when the GUI cannot connect to or start a sync daemon.
  • Reduces the memory footprint of the GUI by ~ 30 MB by avoiding Dropbox API imports and deleting QWidgets when they are not visible.
  • Changing the log level (e.g., maestral log level DEBUG) no longer requires a restart of the maestral daemon to become effective.
  • maestral set-dir now takes the new path as an argument: maestral set-dir PATH. If not given, the user will be prompted to input a path or use the default.
  • Migrated from Pyro4 to Pyro5 for communication with sync daemon.

Fixed:

  • Fixes an unhandled error when trying to upload changes to a file which is not currently indexed by Maestral.
  • Fixes an unhandled error when attempting to calculate the content hash of a file which has been deleted locally. This can occur after Maestral has been notified of remote changes to a file which is deleted locally before comparing file contents.
  • Fixes a bug which could result in multiple false "conflicting copies" of a file when the user modifies the file while it is being uploaded.
  • Fixes a regression bug which would prevent the creation and selection of new configs for different Dropbox accounts.
  • Fixes a bug that would prevent Maestral from properly shutting down a sync daemon which was started from the GUI. This was a result of the daemon's sync threads not exiting as long as a parent process from the same process group is still alive (the GUI in our case). We prevent this by using "double-fork" magic to properly orphan the daemon process so that init will perform its cleanup. See Stevens' "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" for details (ISBN 0201563177).
  • Fixes an issue where the application launcher which is used to start Maestral on login in Linux may be untrusted.
  • Fixes an issue where maestral set-dir would fail if the new directory is the same as the old directory.

Removed:

  • Removed code to migrate config files and sync indices from Maestral versions prior to v0.2.5.
  • Removed code to migrate authentication keys to the system keyring when upgrading from v0.1.2 or earlier.
