Duplicati 2.0.4.5_beta much slower than 2.0.3.3_beta

Although I’m not sure how good overall 2.0.4.10 is (I’d favor 2.0.4.22 - see below), speed boost was:

Release: 2.0.4.10 (canary) 2018-12-29

  • Improved performance of filters by around 10x, thanks @warwickmm

Release: 2.0.4.21 (experimental) 2019-06-28 would be an alternative, if the idea of canary feels risky.

This is a cumulative release for more than 6 months of hard work.
Most of these are speedup improvements, error handling and general quality fixes.

and above hints at long intervals between beta releases. Fixes don’t help much until they’re released. Above Experimental didn’t make beta due to an FTP bug and test need. Someday new Beta will ship. Release process improvements are also being proposed to see if the release rate can be increased.

Release: 2.0.4.22 (canary) 2019-06-30 has more fixes and runs well, but stability of canary may vary.
Settings in Duplicati can change your update channel, if you don’t want to risk a worse one arriving…

Whether Experimental or Canary, it’s a move forward, due to DB upgrades. If you revert, do it quickly.
