[Bug]: synchronisation does not stabilize

[umlaeute]

Bug description

when synching two devices multiple times (without changing the actual databases), they keep adding/deleting entries.

Expected outcome

after a successful sync, i expect the two devices to have the same state.
so re-synching should neither add nor remove any entries.

Steps to reproduce

0. setup two instances of Passy, e.g. one on the phone (f-droid), the other on the laptop (flatpak)
1. add some entries on the phone
2. sync the two devices (laptop=host, phone=connect). you should see something like this on the laptop:

   Synchronisation completed
   Entries added: 6
   Entries removed: 2
   

   and something like that on the phone:

   Synchronisation completed
   Entries added: 0
   Entries removed: 0
   

3. sync the devices again (laptop=host, phone=connect). you should see something like this on the laptop:

   Synchronisation completed
   Entries added: 2
   Entries removed: 0
   

   and something like that on the phone:

   Synchronisation completed
   Entries added: 6
   Entries removed: 0
   

4. sync the devices again (laptop=host, phone=connect). you should see something like this on the laptop:

   Synchronisation completed
   Entries added: 6
   Entries removed: 2
   

   and something like that on the phone:

   Synchronisation completed
   Entries added: 0
   Entries removed: 0
   

5. repeat ad lib.

obviously the synchronisation does not stabilize.

That is a known issue, apologies, I haven't created a github issue for it yet. It is already fixed on the dev branch 👍

Do note, your entries are completely safe for now, for as long as you're using less than 3 devices. This will no longer be a problem with the next release.

[umlaeute]

is there hope that the "next release" is the one you are preparing right now?
(I'd really like to sync more than 2 devices, and your last statement has put this on hold)

Hello @umlaeute ! Indeed it is. In anticipation for the next release you can go through the issues with the next-release label. I must note that some features (attachments-related ones in particular) may be cut from the next release due to their unfinished state, but all the bug fixes will be present, along with new synchronization features (standalone server) and optimizations.
