#Improve Canister downloads
This release should increase file and folder related experience significantly for many non-Bot-backed Zones.
Internet Computer Canisters are used to provide always-one file caching for Zones, thereby replacing some of the Bot functionality without requiring a self-hosted always-on device. Canister file caching logic had a number of edge cases in it, and this release addresses those.
#Chat display issue on broken folder zones
There was an edge case that could break the ability of a chat to display encrypted chat attachments for a given DM if a file was added and then removed or changed rapidly. This display issue has been fixed.
#Stop creating ephemeral database files (Windows clean up)
In order to verify on-disk encryption is supported on a given device, the system was creating an ephemeral encrypted database file, and then removing it, before proceeding with encryption operations. On Windows, which loves to lock files, particularly depending on Defender or other virus scanner software, this could create a growing number of these ephemeral files because the removal step could not complete. The method of testing encryption has now been moved to volatile memory, and legacy zombie files on impacted systems should be cleaned up.
