0.25.23.beta1

22nd October, 2025

Since several issues were pointed out, our setup procedure had been quite system-oriented. This is not good for users. Therefore, I have changed the procedure to be more goal-oriented. I have made extensive use of Svelte, resulting in a very straightforward setup.
While I would like to accelerate documentation and i18n adoption, I do not want to confuse everyone who's already working on it. Therefore, I have decided to release a Beta version at this stage. Significant changes are not expected from this point onward, so I will proceed to stabilise the codebase. (However, this is significant).

Fixed (This should be backported to 0.25.22 if the beta phase is prolonged)

• No longer will larger files create chunks during preparing Reset Synchronisation on This Device.

Behaviour changes

• The setup wizard is now more goal-oriented. Brand-new screens are introduced.
• Fetch everything and Rebuild everything are now Reset Synchronisation on This Device and Overwrite Server Data with This Device's Files.
• Remote configuration and E2EE settings are now separated into each modal dialogue.
  • Remote configuration is now more straightforward. And if we need the rebuild (No... Overwrite Server Data with This Device's Files), it is now clearly indicated.
• Peer-to-Peer settings are also separated into their own modal dialogue (still in progress, and we need to open a P2P pane, still).
• Setup-URI, and Report for the Issue are now not copied to the clipboard automatically. Instead, there are copy-dialogue and buttons to copy them explicitly.
  • This is to avoid confusion for users who do not want to use these features.
• No longer optional features are introduced during the setup, or Reset Synchronisation on This Device, Overwrite Server Data with This Device's Files.
  • This is to avoid confusion for users who do not want to use these features. Instead, we will be informed that optional features are available after the setup is completed.
• We cannot perform Fetch everything and Rebuild everything (Removed, so the old name) without restarting Obsidian now.

Miscellaneous

• Setup QR Code generation is separated into a src/lib/src/API/processSetting.ts file. Please use it as a subrepository if you want to generate QR codes in your own application.
• Setup-URI is also separated into a src/lib/src/API/processSetting.ts
• Some direct access to web APIs is now wrapped into the services layer.

Dependency updates

• Many dependencies are updated. Please see package.json.
  • This is the hardest part of this update. I read most of the changes in the dependencies. If you find any extra information, please let me know.
• As upgrading TypeScript, Fixed many UInt8Array and Uint8Array type mismatches.
