Is the new encryption algorithm using AES128 or AES256? Thanks

It's 256

On 3.2.1 under MacOS (Intel), drag/drop of pdf files onto the note fails to create a linked file. Might be due to the Rich Markdown plugin I'm using, but it's the same in Markdown or Rich Editor mode.

This should be fixed by this PR:

If you open a note with a file in the new window and then open the file for editing and navigate to another note in the main Joplin window, the file is no longer monitored and all changes are lost.

It should be a little easier and there should be a shortcut to open the note in a new window.

But otherwise the whole thing looks very good :slight_smile:

For those that have seen the comment about OneDrive sync being deprecated the GitHub Commit has the reason shown as:

Too slow, changes too often and as a result is unreliable. There is a risk of losing notes with this sync method.

It also has the below clarification from @laurent.

The sync method will stay indefinitely, so you can keep using it. We're marking it as deprecated and removing it from the sync wizard to discourage new users from using this sync method

So although it is being removed from the sync wizard it will not stop existing connections and it will still be available as an option in the sync settings:

In the latest version, when mermaid uses graph, the Render using ELK will not take effect, and only the original Render will be used.

@laurent @JackGruber dpoulton ymzk64 cleterrier You Are Awesome Thank You for developing native Joplin muliple window feature.

How to zoom out in the new multiple windows, the three windows on the right in the photo below. When attempting to zoom out on new windows, the new window remains the same but the main Joplin window shown in the left in the below photo zooms out.

That might be related to the upgrade to Mermaid v11 — see elk renderer dont work in mermaid 11.0.2 version · Issue #5782 · mermaid-js/mermaid · GitHub.

That's a bug! I've opened an issue:

I've opened an issue for this as well.

As noted by Laurent, since this is updated by Microsoft regularly, if these changes aren't tracked then this sync method is guaranteed to break permanently in the near future. I'm not sure I would call this an 'improvement'. I understand the reason, but this sync target was the last commercial service that has free access and universal mobile and desktop support :frowning:

Does Dropbox not offer the same? (for a smaller 2GB limit, than OneDrive's 5GB limit - which I'm still salty I didn't boost to 40GB for free when that used to be a thing!)

As I understand it, when using Dropbox properly as a Joplin sync target, rather than file system sync with the Dropbox client, the API usage doesn't count as a machine license on their free tier, so you can use it for Joplin on as many machines as you'd like.

16

Hm. Last time I tried this it didn't distinguish between API usage and machine usage, but maybe this changed.

I'm trying Nextcloud now, which is even slower than OneDrive, lol.

17

If you self host Nextcloud it should be a lot faster than OneDrive or Dropbox, since you won't throttle yourself

18

I've just discovered that support for OneDrive has been deprecated and I'm very sad to read this as it was the only free option with more than 2GB (Dropbox). Hopefully this decision can/will be reversed :frowning: Otherwise I will have to start looking for a new notes app as the current implementation will surely break sooner or later. But I doubt that there will be another app as good as Joplin, because I already searched a long time until I found Joplin, which is the perfect notes app for me.

19

It has been reversed.
