A bookmark you keep on one computer is on the others.

0.4.7 shipped the plumbing that carries browser settings and bookmarks between
your computers and the bars that draw them, but nothing a person did reached it:
the console kept bookmarks in its own storage. This release closes that, so the
sentence the last two release notes had to take back is true now.

Changed

  • Bookmarks follow the account. The star writes to the rows the daemon keeps
    on disk, which is the store the sync note reads, so a page kept on this
    computer appears on the account's other computers and comes back if you keep it
    again. Removing a bookmark removes it everywhere: the deletion travels as its
    own row, so a computer that was switched off cannot bring it back.
  • A computer that was reset catches up. A device whose browser store started
    again used to have every note it sent ignored, silently, because its sequence
    began at one again. A note now says which run it came from, and the receiver
    reads it rather than skipping it.
  • The bar tells you when it is a memory. If the daemon refuses a bookmark
    write or does not answer in time, the row goes back and the bar says the list
    is what this window last saw, instead of showing a save that never happened.

Known

  • Your reading history, cookies and the tabs to restore stay on the computer that
    made them. They are not part of the account.
  • Browser settings have the same plumbing and nothing in the console writes
    them yet, so in practice they do not travel: only bookmarks do.
  • An installed app still does not look for a newer version. Moving to a newer
    release means running a newer installer over it, or openremote --update if
    you installed through npm.
