This release mostly focused on improving stability
and implementing a few key UI features. This
upgrades us to Electron 5.x which as needed for
some users who were experiencing severe latency
using Polar on Linux. We also resolve a key issue
with non-atomic writes.
This includes a good chunk of the new sharing
functionality but it's not enabled yet.
Big upgrade to latest version of Electron. Electron v5.0.0, Chromium v73.0.3683.119, Node v12.0.0, v8 v7.3.492.27-electron.0. This should hopefully fix a major latency issue some users were seeing on Ubuntu/Linux.
Major performance fix on large PDFs. Scrolling should be dramatically improved. There's still a small latency issue we're seeing but already performance is dramatically improved.
Enabled atomic writes again for all platforms.
Filtering for tags now lists the tags alphabetically
Right click on text highlight now add 'scroll into view'
Upgraded to latest version of Typescript 3.4.3
Fixed regression where progress wasn't being updated when progress messages were being sent from the renderer process.
Fixed bug which resorted in two file uploads to firebase while cloud sync was operational. For large files this was very painful and resorted in 2x data being uploaded.
Fixed bug where the UI would break when both filtering and removing tags on a document that was visible.
Increased the sidebar a bit to accommodate updating comments without overflow of the summernote bar.
Using the same account widget on web + desktop now.
