Summary

Sync notifications – You’ll now see “sync in progress” and “sync complete” alerts on Android and iOS
Search improvements – The app remembers the last folder you searched in, shows folder paths in results and lets you search for folders.
Feedback – Submit one‑off feedback directly from the app.
Messaging – TLS is now mentioned in the E017 explanation.
Sync logic – Fixed issues with reorders, concurrency and continuation handling during interrupted syncs.
Account progress – Cache and mappings now persist for atomic backends.
Browser tree – Concurrency limited to 1 to avoid race conditions.
Localization – Added translations for many languages (ro_RO, el, it, fi, cs, pl, sv, tr, et, ko_KR, ru, de, ja, pt, zh_CN, fr, es).
Scrolling – Capacitor status bar plugin now prevents content from scrolling under the status bar.
Local tabs – New tab groups stay alive long enough for tabs to be added.
General – Cancelled local tree operations, ensured skipped reorders are retracted and cleared continuations properly.
Overall sync performance has been optimized, reducing wait times and resource usage.
