Build 1.24.2739

Pinning support:

• It is now possible to pin files and folders that will permanently persist in the local cache.

• Pinned data size is limited to up to 80% of the configured total cache size.

• [Windows, macOS] - Three new overlay icons in File Explorer/Finder show the pinning state:

  • pinned (green)

  • pinning (blue)

  • failed (orange)

• A new CLI command `lucid pin` is now available.

• Updated the CLI command `lucid cache` output to include pinning related information.

• Preloading functionality is now obsolete by pinning - `lucid preload` command is no longer available.

Other improvements:

• Configuring cache size no longer requires filespace reconnect.

• Significant improvement in cancelling in-flight operations (e.g. during deleting unflushed data, etc.).

• [Windows] Added a new configuration - FileLockingGC.RetentionTime. Sets the amount of time (in seconds) the lucid service will wait clients to reconnect, before releasing the file locks.

• [Windows] Added a new configuration - FileSystem.MountPointWindowsLabel. Configuration used to label Windows mount points. Also added --label option to the following commands: lucid daemon, lucid link, lucid mount. CLI support only.

• Added a new configuration - FileSystem.ForbidSpecialCharacters - used to prevent special characters to be used in file/folder names. Special characters are allowed by default.

• [macOS] Updated driver to support Big Sur - restart required. This change does not include Apple Silicon M1 chip support.

• Fine tuning the prefetcher - results in faster experience on initial data ingestion (e.g. seek in a video stream).

• Added a new, shortcut, menu “Open control panel” in the Lucid App.

Bug fixes:

• [Windows] Fixed a bug where Lucid App was not clearing all locks on exit.
• [Windows] Fixed a bug in the deinitialization of the Lucid File Explorer extension.
