[BUGS.md](BUGS.md), which is the authoritative ledger; this page groups what is left by theme.

Nothing here is a promise of a date.

## Sync engine
|
||||
|
||||
3.0.0 records changes made through the mount locally and sends them from the queue
|
||||
([MILESTONE-3.0.0.md](MILESTONE-3.0.0.md)). What comes after it:
|
||||
|
||||
| Item | State | Notes |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Remove the online path | Not started | The old way of sending a change before the syscall returns, and the `local_first` switch that brings it back, go in the release after 3.0.0 |
|
||||
| One applier for remote changes | Not started | Phase 4 of the milestone: a remote tree, and remote changes applied through the same planner as local ones |
|
||||
| Synced folders on the queue | Not started | Phase 5: synced folders sent by the same planner and executor as the mount |
|
||||
| Batch trashes and moves | Deferred | See below |
|
||||
|
||||
**Batching trashes and moves.** `trash_nodes` and `move_nodes_streaming` take up to 150 nodes per
|
||||
call, but the queue still sends one node per call. It was left out of 3.0.0 on purpose:
|
||||
|
||||
- The speed target of the milestone (§7) is met without it. Making 1,000 files in 100 folders
|
||||
takes 5.2 s on a LAN and 5.0 s on Wi-Fi.
|
||||
- What the queue spends its time on is the creates. Each one waits for Drive to list the new node
|
||||
before it counts as landed (250 ms, then 1 s), and batching does not help with that.
|
||||
- Sending many ops in one call means splitting one answer back into many results. Races in
|
||||
exactly that step were the largest class of bugs found for 3.0.0 (B15x to B17x).
|
||||
|
||||
Before building it, measure `rm -r` of a folder with 1,000 files on Wi-Fi. If that is slow, the
|
||||
cheaper fix is to drop the queued trashes of the files in a folder when the folder itself is
|
||||
trashed, since trashing the folder takes its contents with it.
