Memospot

Version History

0.1.3 - 2024-02-26

Changed

  • (Memos) Bundled version: v0.20.0.
  • Updated UI wording and color scheme.

Added

  • (Memos) Handle Memos versions with loose front-end files (sidecar dist folder; v0.18.2+) - (a385616).

  • (Memos) Disable Memos metrics (metrics were removed from Memos v0.20+).

  • Add database checkpoint on closing: ensures changed data is persisted.

  • Database migrator: It makes the database and assets portable between any system. The internal resource path migration will run only once when you first start this new version. It will create a new table memospot_migrations to keep track of migrations. This won’t affect Memos at all.

    The path migrator can migrate 300k resources in less than 30 seconds on a modern machine. If you see the “Something went wrong” message, just wait a minute and click the “Check again” button.

    This feature was added to address issues with the built-in Memos database migration system, which was really slow to the point the related migration was completely removed at some point.

  • Database backup system: Runs automatically before database migrations. Backups are created using a zip file container, but compression is in Zstandard format (due to a better speed/compression ratio). If needed, you can decompress those files with WinRAR, 7-Zip-zstd, or p7zip.

  • (Memos) Lots of new settings: allows using a custom folder for Memos data and allows fine-grained control of the server.

    Sample memospot.yaml file:

    memos:
      # Use this to spawn a custom Memos binary.
      binary_path: null
    

      # Memos working dir. This is where the `dist` folder must reside.
      working_dir: null
    

      # Memos data storage. Where the database and assets are stored.
      data: null
    

      # Mode: [prod] | dev | demo. This affects the database used on startup.
      mode: prod
    

      # Address where Memos will listen for connections.
      addr: 127.0.0.1
    

      # Memos port. Managed by Memospot. You can set a custom port, but it
      # will be automatically changed if the port is in use at Memospot startup.
      port: 0
    

      # Custom environment variables for Memos. Custom keys will be automatically uppercased and prefixed with "MEMOS_". Make sure to always quote custom env values, so they get parsed as strings.
      # env:
      #   NEW_ENV_VAR: "my value"
      env: null
    memospot:
      backups:
        # Enable backups [true]. Currently, backups only run before
        # database migrations and there's no retention management.
        enabled: true
        # Backup directory.
        path: null
      migrations:
        # Enable migrations [true]. Currently, there's one migration available that will change local resource paths from absolute to relative, making your data fully portable.
        enabled: true
      log:
        # Enable logging [false]. Used for advanced debugging.
        # A new file called `logging_config.yaml` will be created next to this file.
        # You can change `root.level` from `info` to `debug` to increase the logging level.
        enabled: true

Removed

  • (Memos) No more output logging: log is now available only for debugging Memospot itself.

0.1.2 - 2023-12-25

Changed

  • (Memos) Bundled version: v0.18.1

  • (Windows) UPX is no longer used; this should reduce false-positive detections by AV software.

Added

  • (Memos) Server port is now persisted via the memospot.yaml settings file: The port will only change if it’s in use during a next application start. This will increase WebView cache reuse and circumvent an issue that arose with Memos v0.18.0, where the user’s language and theme are not retrieved from the database.

  • (Windows) Custom installers: Selecting “Delete the application data” on uninstaller will delete Memospot WebView cache, Memos and Memospot binaries, but never the database, assets or settings. This will also prevent undesired behavior in case Tauri upstream changes.

  • A ‘Try again’ button will appear if the Memos server takes too long to respond: This allows the server to take its time to load when running in low-end or heavily loaded systems.

0.1.1 - 2023-11-28

  • (Memos) Bundled version: v0.17.1.

Fixed

  • (Windows) Resolve proper data directory on Windows (#5) - (aa6bf92)

  • (Linux) Add GStreamer to the AppImage bundle.

0.1.0 - 2023-11-27

  • (Memos) Bundled version: v0.17.1.

Known issues

  • (Linux)(AppImage): If a video is uploaded, it may not play or the WebView may hang. This is due to GStreamer not being bundled. It will be fixed in the next release. This does not affect the deb package (as long as you have GStreamer installed).
