vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync 1.0.41 on GitHub

26th October, 2026

Rapid edits can produce fewer intermediate versions on other devices while LiveSync mode remains active.
- Enable Batch database updates in LiveSync mode to group successive local edits.
  - Disabled by default; each synchronisation mode keeps its own choice.
  - Updates reach other devices later. Batching does not detect template completion or prevent genuine concurrent-edit conflicts.
CouchDB synchronisation no longer looks idle while it is comparing change history.
- A ⏩ icon and comparison count show activity before documents are transferred.
  - This count represents history entries, not files remaining to synchronise.
Status counts are easier to follow, with less movement as values change.
- CSS snippets can hide unwanted items or style individual livesync-stat- items, including inactive ones.

Recent Vault edits remain recoverable after an interrupted local database save.
- This includes edits whose modification times compare equal to the database copy, and pending Hidden File Sync and Customisation Sync changes.
Manual synchronisation no longer starts before already accepted local changes finish saving to the database.
- Settings application also waits for those saves. Failed saves stay pending and report a failure.
Text from third-party tools is handled more robustly.
- Characters split across Chunks no longer trigger false corruption warnings.
Start-up integrity checks use less memory for healthy Vault files. (#1283)
Start-up checks avoid false repair warnings for files that change during inspection. (#1283)
- This applies when the final size matches the database and there are no conflicts.

Applying a multi-file customisation no longer skips files after the list is refreshed. (#1271)
Choosing Automatic now explains a missing Hidden File Sync prerequisite instead of proceeding into a failed initialisation. (#1270)
- Enable and initialise Hidden File Sync on this device first. The current mode is kept when the prerequisite is missing.
Initialising a whole plug-in in Automatic mode no longer omits its selected MAIN or DATA files.

Setup URI generation can avoid shell-variable collisions and unintended use of the operating-system username. (#817, #1274)
- Use LIVESYNC_HOST, LIVESYNC_USER, LIVESYNC_PASS, LIVESYNC_DB, and LIVESYNC_PASSPHRASE for connection and encryption values.
  - Existing scripts remain supported: the previous names are used when the corresponding prefixed value is unset or blank.

Thank you for your contributions!

@rwbru, for the original Setup URI environment-variable fix (#817).
@junkerderprovinz, for adapting that fix to the current generator while preserving compatibility with existing scripts (#1274).
@s-qin, for reducing memory use during start-up checks and avoiding repeated content decoding in Commonlib (#1283, Commonlib #184).
