0.4.7

vault-sync is a self-hosted replacement for Obsidian Sync. It has two parts: an Obsidian plugin, and a sync server that stores its data in PostgreSQL and S3. This release changes only the plugin. It has a new history window, where you can search the synced files, see the changes of each version, and copy, restore or revert a version. Install the plugin with BRAT from the GitHub releases of this repository. The server image ghcr.io/soliddowant/vault-sync:0.4.7 and the Helm chart oci://ghcr.io/soliddowant/charts/vault-sync (version 0.4.7) have no changes from 0.4.6, so you do not have to upgrade the server.

Plugin

• The history window is new, and it looks like the File recovery window of Obsidian. It shows the synced files with a search, the versions of the chosen file, and the chosen version. Deleted files are in the list too, so you can restore them. The new command Vault Sync: Browse sync history opens the window with no file chosen. (#1479)
• Show changes shows what a version changed from the version before it. Added lines are green, and removed lines are red. Side by side shows the two versions next to each other. Long runs of unchanged lines are folded. (#1479)
• Copy copies the text of a version. Revert this change undoes only the changes of one version, and keeps the changes made after it. If a later change touches the same lines, the plugin does not revert, and a notice says why. Restore this version works as before. Viewers can copy, but they cannot restore or revert. (#1479)
• The command palette shows Vault Sync: Sign in only while you are signed out, and Vault Sync: Sign out only while you are signed in. (#1478)
• If the Sync core plugin of Obsidian is also on in the vault, the Sync section of the settings shows a warning. Two sync services on one vault upload every change twice and can make extra conflict copies. The warning says how to turn off Obsidian Sync. (#1477)

Known issues

• The screenshots of the settings in the user guide still show the text from 0.4.4.
