    Release 101: app 0.79.18, library 0.16.5, command line 0.73.24, diagnostic view 0.74.23.

    New

    • Updates without interrupting anything, on a server: after an update, iceblock serve hands over to the new version in its own place. Its ports never close, and an app writing a file through the mount carries on, losing nothing. Stopping the service waits up to 5 minutes for files being written through the mount to be closed.
    • Quitting the app asks first when files are open through your Iceblock folder in other apps, with Wait (it quits once they're closed) or Quit anyway.
    • Diagnostics watches your other devices from one place (w): the devices on your local network, one device wherever it is, that device with those on its own local network, or two devices, one syncing with the other while you watch both sides. Activity shows all their logs as one, in time, each line's device beside it. Only your network's devices with full access can see a device's diagnostics, and where your files are stays on each device. iceblock diag --on <device> asks one from the command line.
    • The sync bar on every page, so a sync under way shows wherever you are.
    • Every page is live, and pulling one down syncs: Your network's storage, Loans, shares, My network and the gallery only reloaded before.

    Fixes

    • Diagnostics says plainly when the Iceblock running the device is a different version, and what to do, with "New version available: Restart" when it's been updated. Its waiting window is clearer too.
    • The log says "couldn't reach" in a few words, and the debug report says how each device is reached and how the latest try went.
