#New Featured Zones section in the Discover page
The Discover page has a new “Featured” Zones section at the top where trending and interesting Zones can be featured.
#Add laugh emoji to chat reactions
By popular demand, a laugh emoji has been added to chat reactions.
#ICP file system storage GA
Always-on file system storage is now released to general availability. This capability provides a 100MB file syncing cache so that files recently modified or recently transferred can be provided to peers even if there is not another user online. Note that the maximum file size that can be added to the cache is 10MB.
#Reduce power and memory consumption through a new connection pool
A major update to the P2P connection pool is in this release - instead of attempting to connect to other peers in a star topology, a more “token ring” approach is now used. This increases performance and decreases resource usage especially for large zones (>500 users) where the connection pools previously could become quite large.
#Move Zone creation process to the Discover page
Clicking “+” in the Zone Selector bar now takes the user to the Discover page where they can create, join, or find a Zone.
#Fix: Improve chat switching and other visual performance
Many updates were made to improve visual performance.
#Fix: Location setting with duplicated directories
If a Drive was named the same as a Zone, previously the “Move” setting could show the incorrect directory name for the duplicated name. It now displays correctly.
#Fix: Extra migrate calls
Extra migrate calls would sometimes be invoked to ensure the Account’s Zone contracts were up to date - these extra calls have been eliminated.
#Fix: Web link limit in private Drives
Web links were being incorrectly limited in certain private Drives - the Zone’s entitlement now propagates correctly to private Drives.
#Fix: Empty directory zombies
When deleting a folder structure, sometimes the deletion would not be propagated fully to all peers, resulting in an empty directory structure “zombie” that could not be easily removed from the Zone. This has been fixed - empty folders are now fully deleted.
#Fix: Discover card join button not always visible on mobile
The “Join” button is now always visible on all mobile platforms on all Discover page cards.
