Ditto introduced an experimental feature for retrieving, configuring, and restoring default configurations for the Ditto peer-to-peer system at runtime using Ditto Query Language (DQL) syntax.

Through two new statements:ALTER SYSTEM and SHOW, you can change parameters, settings, and configurations while your peer-to-peer system is actively running.



Due to recent improvements to the sync protocol, Small peers no longer accumulate unsubscribed documents when subscription statuses are changed.

This fix ensures that the peer-to-peer system prevents retaining unnecessary data, resulting in optimized resource usage.

Ditto's recent adjustments to the sync protocol have decreased the exchange of redundant data during re-synchronization, improving the efficiency and stability of the sync process.

Ditto decoupled sync protocol from conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs) so peers now prioritize using the latest supported protocol version for data exchange.

Even if your app uses legacy CRDTs, you'll benefit from this backward-compatible change.

The documentation for the sort() API method on cursor operations has been updated to provide clearer explanations of behavior in cases where the specified field for sorting is missing.

Now, parser error messages focus more on indicating the location of errors within the input code, rather than suggesting potential fixes.

With this improvement to the API reference, you have better guidance in debugging your code.

This fix addresses a specific bug where Ditto Link could go into a "forever loop" under certain conditions. This loop, caused performance issues and could potentially lead your app crashing.

Before this fix, there were issues with incorrect casting to boolean values, leading to inconsistent behavior. This update ensures that values are cast properly, resulting in consistency across your app.



If you're using legacy CRDTs in your app, now you can perform comparisons with ATTACHMENT objects.

Previously, DQL queries were limited in their ability to retrieve the pointer that Ditto uses to fetch your ATTACHMENT object.

Now you can query the following additional fields to improve query capabilities:

Following is an example document showing the fields added in this release:



We've improved error handling mechanisms to manage input-output (IO) errors that may result during the creation of ATTACHMENT objects.

Now you'll receive clearer feedback when encountering errors so you can prevent potential crashes and improve the overall stability of your app.



Fixed: Improved internal data decoding functions to prevent API crashes under certain inputs:

We've improved the software component for handling tasks such as byte parsing, character decoding, and data type conversion. Instead of crashing, like before, the API returns an error.



There were issues causing app crashes during the preparation phase for syncing data to remote peers.

With these improvements, the likelihood of encountering errors during syncing has been significantly reduced.
