Build 1.24.2434
--------------------------------
Configurable mount points:
All currently configured mount points for existing filespaces (e.g. using auto connect option, or windows services) will be preserved.
Each filespace can now be configured with a custom OS-specific mount point (see `lucid config`) - currently configurable through CLI only. Upcoming UI configuration capabilities:
Filespace administrators can set a default mount point per filespace for all users by using the `lucid config --global` flag. Note that users can overwrite the setting for their machine.
All new filespaces initialized with Lucid version 1.24.2434 onward, will have new default OS specific mount points:
- Windows - L:\ - when no explicit mount point is configured and drive letter is taken, Lucid will attempt to mount to the next free drive letter.
- macOS - /Volumes/FILESPACE_NAME
- Linux - /media/FILESPACE_NAME
[Windows][experimental] Network share support (e.g. “\\server\lucid”)
`lucid link` CLI command now has a “--no-mount” option.
If the filespace mount point is configured incorrectly, LucidApp will still link to the filespace but will show “Filespace not mounted” error. The `lucid mount` CLI command should be used to overwrite the wrong mount point. No filespace disconnect is required.
[Windows] New LucidFS driver:
[Critical] Fixed a memory leak in a 3rd party library, which in rare cases may lead to a blue screen.
Added support for Adobe Lightroom.
One-time Windows reboot will be required upon upgrade to this version.
Object store connection quality UI indicator:
Object store connection quality shown via the tray icon and in the dashboard:
- Excellent connection - all is ok
- Good connection - indicative of low latency issues
- Fair connection - indicative of medium latency issues
- Poor connection - indicative of severe latency issues
- Disconnected - no connection to the object store
The indicator signals latency issues that affect consuming data from the object store (e.g. watching videos, real time editing or other active workloads).
Unfinished uploads shown via the tray icon.
Other improvements:
[Windows] Order of magnitude improvement of global file locking performance. Note that all clients that need to use locking should upgrade to this version or later.
LucidApp shows a confirmation dialog before disconnecting from a filespace.
LucidApp shows a warning dialog if attempting a disconnect before all data is uploaded in the object store (“Remaining upload” > 0B).
[Windows] Disabled \System Volume Information\ folder to avoid conflicts with multiple users.
Optimized the default output metrics of the `lucid perf` command.
Bug fixes:
[CRITICAL] Improved crash resilience to possible metadata corruption after system reboots or power outages.
[Windows] Fixed a bug where Windows installer would uninstall the lucid service. This upgrade will uninstall the service one last time.
Fixed a bug where username and shares were truncated in the CLI output.
Critical filespace configuration settings can now be modified only by the root user.
