Also:
- Remove last-sync-time mechanism for both WebDAV and ZFS, since it can
be determined by storage properties (mtime/md5) in data sync
- Add option to include synced storage properties in item toJSON()
instead of local file properties
- Set "Fake-Server-Match" header in setHTTPResponse() test support
function, which can be used for request count assertions -- see
resetRequestCount() and assertRequestCount() in webdavTest.js
- Allow string (e.g., 'to_download') instead of constant in
Zotero.Sync.Data.Local.setSyncState()
- Misc storage tweaks
Improves UX of sync authentication.
The account is now linked and unlinked and an API key related to
the client is generated transparently in the background.
The API key is deleted on unlinking.
No sync options are allowed before linking an account.
There's a lot more to do, and this isn't ready for actual usage, but the
basic functionality is mostly in place and has decent test coverage. It
can successfully upgrade a library last used with classic syncing and
pull down changes via the API. Uploading mostly works but is currently
disabled for safety until it has better test coverage.
Downloaded JSON is first saved to a cache table, which is then used to
populate other tables and later for generating PATCH requests and
automatically resolving conflicts (since it shows what was changed
locally and what was changed remotely). Objects with unmet dependencies
or unknown fields are skipped for now but don't block the rest of the
sync.
Some of the bigger remaining to-dos:
- Tests for uploading
- Re-do the preferences to get an API key
- File sync integration
- Full-text syncing integration
- Manual conflict resolution (though this already includes much smarter
conflict handling that automatically resolves many conflicts)
Adds a 'foreground' flag to Zotero.HTTP.promise() options
Also, can now pass successCodes: false to always resolve the promise and never
throw UnexpectedStatusException
Deleted files are purged at the end of every sync, without any delay.
(If there's a conflict, it will be resolved before the file is deleted.)
Orphaned files are deleted once every 10 days, since it's a potentially
expensive operation for the server.
Prefpanes are now in separate overlays, which fixes the age-old resizing
bug when switching between panes (at least on OS X) that varied
depending on the initial pane. Code has also been moved into
pane-specific files and objects, with strict mode enabled. When calling
code from another pane (e.g., for a UI update in another pane), first
check whether the Zotero_Preferences.[Pane] object exists--if it doesn't
then nothing needs to be called.
This change breaks the word integration plugin pref overlays, which
hopefully can be rewritten to work with either overlay format.
There is a good chance that this breaks some other things in the
preferences too.
