V2.1.0

Fixed / 修复 / 修正

English

• .eaase.json imports now perform a differential cleanup against the current configuration, and Excel records that no longer exist in the config are removed from cache.db.
• After deleting a workbook from the file management panel, the corresponding cached record is also deleted from the database.
• After deletions and import cleanup, SQLite physical compaction is executed so cache.db does not keep its old file size after records are removed.

简体中文

• .eaase.json 导入现在会按当前配置对数据库做差量清理，配置里已不存在的 Excel 记录会从 cache.db 中删除。
• 文件管理面板删除工作簿后，数据库中的对应缓存记录会同步删除。
• 删除与导入清理后会执行 SQLite 物理压缩，避免 cache.db 只删记录但文件体积不变。

日本語

• .eaase.json のインポート時に現在の設定との差分クリーンアップを行い、設定内に存在しなくなった Excel レコードは cache.db から削除されます。
• ファイル管理パネルでワークブックを削除すると、対応するキャッシュレコードもデータベースから同期削除されます。
• 削除およびインポート時のクリーンアップ後に SQLite の物理圧縮を実行し、レコード削除後も cache.db のファイルサイズだけが残り続けないようにします。
