drive v0.3.3 Release Notes

Release Date: 2015-11-21 // over 8 years ago

  • 🚀 This release contains a bunch of features and bug fixes:

    • pulling starred files: This issue/feature was requested in issue #431 by @ManuCart. The need for pulling starred files was addressed by PRs #476 and #467.

      $ drive pull --starred --all $ drive pull --starred --matches influx png dogm

    • return an error code to the env if the user rejects/cancels an operation: This was reported by @smblott-github in issue #460. It was addressed in PR #466.

      $ echo "n" | drive push information && echo "done" || echo "never went through"never went through

    • 🛠 fixed up unequal traversal depths for local and remote traversals. This issue was reported by @csaleman in issue #462. What was happening was that because a decremented traversal depth assignment after getting remote children passed to the local traversal meant that local files would not be found. This issue was fixed by PR #465.

    • star + unstar files implemented: This feature was a spin off after the realization from #431 that there wasn't a utility to manage starred files. This feature was added in PR #470.

      $ drive star highlights/game10 "Vic Mensa-U-Mad.mp3" Fall2015/ECE_487/assignments $ drive unstar oldContent influx/p1/p2A

    • no need to retry operations on permanently mutable root file: This bug was noticed by @colinkeenan in issue #472. Previously the retry mechanism for errors was relying on unknown errors' error codes, however any mutation on '/' (root) is forbidden.
      This made the need to actually catch immutable error reports. This was addressed by PR #473.
      🐧 Along the way, @colinkeenan figured out how to make proper locales and terminal encoding for Linux and gave me an education, and gave a potential solution to #406 and @colinkeenan then made a wiki entry at https://github.com/odeke-em/drive/wiki#linux-terminal-character-encoding.

    • ensuring that in trash, users can get a preview of the operations to be performed: This was added in, in #474.

    • 🛠 learnt that any mod inside a directory modifies its modTime and causes spurious changes with drive. This behaviour was firstly noticed by issue #463 and then made apparent by ensuring that even dirModTimes were reported in #464. This behaviour spread over and was also noticed by @cdown in issue #471. It was then fixed in PR #478.

    • 👍 touch can now take --depth and --verbose: This allows better control for touch. It was requested in issue #481 and addressed by PR #482.

      $ drive touch --depth 3 Fall2015 Photos/shared $ drive touch --verbose --depth -1

    • 👍 better unshare + share: Previously unsharing only involved --role yet sharing involves roles, emails and accountTypes. This awkwardness was reported by @bdlow in issue #484. Also only one role, and one accountType could be applied during share/unshare. This called for a revisit of share/unshare and was addressed by PR #486

      $ drive share --emails [email protected],[email protected] --role reader,commenter --verbose kevin-hart-roasts.mp4 statistics $ drive unsahre --emails [email protected] --role commenter --verbose lattices intro/term1/locks

    🚀 This release has been a great one, lots of interactions with users and lots of bugs fixed, lots of learning and new engagement. drive continues to mature and this is good news for everyone.
