Recent releases are focused on stability and speed. This has lead to significant improvements in the platform and ShadeFS mount.
The lag for large mount/platform operations from performing an action to the action reflecting in the platform has been significantly reduced. This includes operations like renames and deletes
Latencies have been reduced across the app, including navigating folders
Folders can now be copied and pasted, including between drives in the same region
Lots of UI fixes in column view, drives views and asset views
True folder searching. Now on most drives, all folders will show up when searching rather than just folders with contents
Version comparison
Compare 1-4 assets of images, videos, audio files
Fixed SMB connectivity issue. SMB should no longer be inaccessible whilst using a shade mount on some macOS versions
Finder tags and MacOS metadata are now persisted across all clients (seemingly a shade mount exclusive feature)
New version of our syncing engine leading more reliable syncing
When mounts conflict they will resolve their conflicting changes much more quickly
Fixes for sudden crashes happening in rare cases / specific operations
