0.25.53

17th March, 2026

I did wonder whether I should have released a minor version update, but when I actually tested it, compatibility seemed to be intact, so I didn’t. Hmm.

Fixed

P2P Synchronisation

• Fixed flaky timing issues in P2P synchronisation.
• No longer unexpected Unhandled Rejections during P2P operations (waiting for acceptance).

Journal Sync

• Fixed an issue where some conflicts cannot be resolved in Journal Sync.
• Many minor fixes have been made for better stability and reliability.

Tests

• Rewrite P2P end-to-end tests to use the CLI as a host.

CLI

We have previously developed FileSystem LiveSync and various other components in a separate repository, but updates have been significantly delayed, and we have been plagued by compatibility issues. Now, a CLI tool using the same core logic is emerging. This does not directly manipulate the file system, but it offers a more convenient way of working and can also communicate with Object Storage. We can also resolve conflicts. Please refer to the code in src/apps/cli for the self-hosted-livesync-cli for more details.

• Add self-hosted-livesync-cli to src/apps/cli as a headless and dedicated version.

• P2P sync and Object Storage are also supported in the CLI.

  • Yes, we have finally managed to 'get one file'.
  • Also, no more need for a LiveSync PeerServer for virtual environments! The CLI can do it.

• Now binary files are also supported in the CLI.

Refactored or internal changes

• ServiceFileAccessBase now correctly handles the reading of binary files.
• HeadlessAPIService now correctly provides the online status (always online) to the plug-in.
• Non-worker version of bgWorker now correctly handles some functions.
• Separated ObsidianLiveSyncPlugin into ObsidianLiveSyncPlugin and LiveSyncBaseCore.
• Now LiveSyncCore indicates the type specified version of LiveSyncBaseCore.
• Referencing plugin.xxx has been rewritten to referencing the corresponding service or core.xxx.
• Offline change scanner and the local database preparation have been separated.
• Set default priority for processFileEvent and processSynchroniseResult for the place to add hooks.
• ControlService now provides the readiness for processing operations.
• DatabaseService is now able to modify database opening options on derived classes.
• Now useOfflineScanner, useCheckRemoteSize, and useRedFlagFeatures are set from main.ts, instead of LiveSyncBaseCore.
• Storage Access APIs are now yielding Promises. This is to allow more limited storage platforms to be supported.
• Journal Replicator now yields true after the replication is done.

R&D

• Browser-version of Self-hosted LiveSync is now in development. This is not intended for public use now, but I will eventually make it available for testing.
• We can see the code in src/apps/webapp for the browser version.
