The sync engine has been rewritten to improve the user experience when using external editors in your vault (e.g. agents). Disk edits are now ingested and merged automatically. Canvases sync is now enabled by default, and continuous background sync makes Bases stay in sync across devices.
New features
- Rewritten sync engine: changes made directly to files on disk are picked up and merged, so external tools and agents can edit your vault safely
- Continuous background sync
- folders stay up to date without notes open, and recover on their own from server restarts and network blips
- Canvases Sync is now enabled by default
- Bases are now synced by default (requires storage)
- Your display name and avatar can be customized at console.relay.md
- Streamer mode hides your personal information (behind a feature flag)
- Draft mode makes it easy to stage up your changes before sending them (behind a feature flag)
- A new Plugin API so other developers can create collaborative experiences using Relay as a platform. See Relay Comments as an example.
Fixes
- Undo history is local to each editor. Ctrl-Z no longer reverts a collaborator's edits.
Performance
- Large vaults load faster and stay responsive
