2.0.5.0-2.0.5.0_experimental_2020-01-03

This is once again a cumulative release for more than 6 months of hard work.
This release has a large number of stability improvements and speed optimizations.

If you are using macOS, please re-install from the .dmg or .pkg, as the launcher has been updated to work with GateKeeper.
Using the built-in update mechanism will not update the launcer and will not work well with GateKeeper on macOS Catalina.

A big thanks to the community members who work hard with fixing issues and responding on the forum:

Thanks! Glad I could move away from canary now! Working great, as usual!

Is this build the same as Canary v2.0.4.38?

Looks like it, except of course for a change log update and a numbering change. Use this to see all:

@kenkendk, should we edit the announcement to mention that this requires mono 5.0 or greater?

@kenkendk :
Again, I ask you to please state the db versions in the release notice. It is crucial to know when and upgrade will also upgrade one or both db versions.

7

Yes, we can edit the forum and github messages. The update notice is signed, so it is problematic to update it.

I will forget this many times, so I suggest we make it automatic. The build script can read the database version from the schema file and inject it into the release note text. If we keep a text file with the previous version, we can automatically add a warning if the database version increases.

Sources URLs look like:

2.0.4.5/2.0.4.23 backup DB had Version 7 in schema file, but should have had 8. The DB itself gets 8.
Generally I think the plan is to have the Version track the update steps, but this didn’t, back to 2.0.3.7.

A big thank you to all the contributors! Switching from the last beta to this release was seamless via the web ui on Windows. Seems to be working well.
