Preferences gets a switch that asks GitHub once a day for the latest
release and shows a banner over the sidebar when it is newer. Off by
default. Packages whose package manager brings updates install the
marker share/proton-drive-linux/managed-updates, which hides the switch.

The spec builds from the tag archive and a vendored crates tarball when
git_dir is not defined, so COPR can build it without network access.
release.yml publishes the vendor tarball and submits the build to COPR
after the release is published.

Removing the package left the user service running from the deleted
binary, with ~/ProtonDrive still mounted. A user who then deleted the
folder to clean up had every file in it moved to the Proton Drive trash,
as any delete through the mount is.
The .deb (prerm on remove), the .rpm (%preun on erase) and the Arch
packages (pre_remove) now stop proton-drive.service for every user with
a running user manager, through runuser with that user's
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, so no systemd-machined is needed. Upgrades are left
alone. Queued writes stay in the state directory for a later install.
The pacman install script lives once in packaging/ and the AUR
directories link it; push.sh copies its content into each AUR
repository. The uninstall guide now warns not to delete the mount point
while the service runs.
Reported on Reddit by a user who restored the files from the trash.
The RPM recommended both gnome-keyring and kwallet unconditionally, and
dnf installs weak dependencies by default, so a GNOME install on Fedora
pulled in KWallet and KDE Frameworks with it. The recommendations are
now rich dependencies: KWallet only with plasma-workspace, GNOME Keyring
only without it, and the AppIndicator extension only with gnome-shell.
RPM does not accept `unless` in a weak dependency, so the keyring uses
the equivalent `(gnome-keyring or plasma-workspace)`.
Reported on Reddit by a Fedora GNOME user.
The About dialog's website link, the README, and the package metadata
(Cargo, PKGBUILDs, AUR .SRCINFO, .deb, .rpm) now use the project
homepage. Source code, issue, and release links stay on GitHub.
The release job never hit a cache: its rust-cache key contained the job
name, tags cannot restore caches of earlier tags, and rpmbuild rebuilt
the whole workspace under its own compiler flags.
CI on main now saves shared debug and release caches that the release
workflow restores. Quality gates and the package build run in parallel,
and the GitHub release is created once both pass. The RPM spec skips
its cargo build when the caller passes --define "prebuilt 1".
Photos now know where they were taken. proton-drive-rs 0.7.0 reads the
Location from a photo's extended attributes, and the timeline refresh stores
it with the photo (schema v33). The migration marks every photo unresolved
once, so the next refresh backfills locations from node metadata without
downloading anything.
Towns are looked up offline: pdfs-core bundles GeoNames' cities15000 table,
trimmed by scripts/geonames-cities.py, and files each photo under the
nearest town within 50 km. The new PhotoPlaces and PlacePhotos requests list
the towns and page one town's photos.
The Photos page gets a third view, Places, with a card per town (newest
photo, town, country, count). A place opens in the gallery like an album.
Country names come translated from the iso-codes catalogs, now an optional
dependency. The About dialog credits GeoNames (CC BY 4.0).
The app, the tray and the search prompt route every user-visible string
through GNU gettext in the `pdfs` text domain, with named placeholders and
plural forms. po/ holds the template, update and build scripts, and catalogs
for de, en_GB, es, fr, it, nl, pl and pt_BR. Preferences gains a Language row
that overrides the system language from the next start (config `language`).
Packages compile the catalogs into /usr/share/locale and the desktop files
carry translated descriptions and keywords. docs/TRANSLATING.md describes
the workflow.
Remove the local proton-sdk path patch so the workspace builds from published crates, and document Fedora 44 build/runtime plus a local RPM spec.
