CHANGELOG.md

0.5.0 (2020-10-12)

Hello and welcome to the new and improved Qri Desktop 0.5.0! We've listened to your feedback and have a new and improved Collection view, a dynamic progress viewer, as well as some new functionality built into the app!

Collection

The collection view can now do so much more than before! You can quickly filter between datasets that you own and datasets that you have cloned. You can view high level stats on each dataset, such as the last update, the size, the number of versions, and whether the dataset is published to the cloud or checkout out to the filesystem. You can also export or remove any dataset from the collection view by clicking the additional options at the end of the row.

Pull (or Update/Sync) a dataset

We’ve made it very easy to sync a dataset that you have previously added from the Qri Cloud to the latest version! Just use our new Pull action on the Collection page to make sure you are always up to date with the latest data.

Multi-Select/Batch Actions

We are very excited about the multi select functionality that we've added to the Collection view, and we will probably be expanding it down the line to do even more! From the collection view you can now quickly select multiple datasets and perform batch actions on them, such as removing them or pulling down the latest version from the cloud.

We hope this new batch ability and the remodeled collection page will make it easier and more enjoyable to browse your datasets in Qri!

Transfers/Progress

We wanted to clean up the story around transferring datasets, aka, pushing a dataset to or pulling a dataset down from Qri Cloud. When you push or pull a dataset, Qri can track its progress and update you as it’s working. We've added some progress indicators to the navigation bar that you can expand to see the progress of your transfers! This will also track progress for multiple pushes and pulls so you are aware of all the actions the app is currently taking.

Updated New Dataset Flow

In prior iterations, we’d try to name your dataset for you based on the file name you selected. But this left most datasets ‘title-less’, since we did nothing to encourage the user to add a title before publishing. And since it’s so important, we wanted to make it easier for you to lead the process. Now, when you add a new dataset, you specify a title and we infer the dataset name based on that!

Dataset Page Layout

We've incorporated a lot of user feedback into our new Dataset page layout. When you open up a dataset, the sidebar now contains a 'History Track' - a visual indicator of all the versions of this dataset. Clicking a stop on the track will bring you to that version of the dataset. If you are looking at a dataset that you yourself created, then you will also see (as the most recent version) a 'working dataset' stop. This is where you can craft the next version of your dataset!

Expanded Export options

Previously, we offered no flexibility when it came to exporting a dataset, you just chose a location and we added the exported zip file there. We've added an export modal that allows you to be more specific about what you want to export from that dataset version!

We made a large number of bug fixes based directly on your feedback (you can view them below under 'Bug Fixes'). Thank you! Please keep it coming :)

2. a fix to a bug that was preventing clicking on the status tab, if your dataset history was longer than the lenght of the sidebar

Bug Fixes

• long dataset history overlaps status button (af8af55)

0.4.4 (2020-08-10)

Quick release to upgrade to the latest qri backend! Fixed a bug some users were experiencing when downloading Qri Desktop for the first time.

Be sure to check out the latest qri backend release to see the other fixes we inherit.

0.4.3 (2020-07-28)

Our latest release for desktop has improved stability, added support for backend migrations, upgraded api calls to match the latest qri backend release, and reduced the codebase without losing functionality!

refactor to match the new 0.9.10 qri api

Changes made to match the latest qri api:

• use /get?format=zip instead of /export
• use /pull instead of /add
• use /push instead of /publish
• use /remove?remote=registry to unpublish a dataset
• rely on log data to determine if the dataset is published, not on the dataset itself

dev/codebase improvements:

We've got storybook back up and running! This involved refactoring certain components to ensure that they can still function as expected inside and outside of the electron framework (so they can be potentially be used in other webapps).

We've solidified terminology in the codebase: anything prefixed with Working indicates that has to do with editing a dataset. We've also removed the History prefix from components dealing with historical dataset versions.

We've gone through an entire component/container overhaul:

• We've removed every container file.
• All connecting of components to react redux and the router happens in the same file that the component is defined.
• The "component" version of this file is exported and has the suffix "Component".
• The "containerized" version of this component is the default export.
• The custom connect functions are connectComponentToProps and connectComponentToPropsWithRouter.
• They take the same parameters and have the same expectations as the redux connect function.

readme markdown

Make sure you take a look at the improved styling in our readme markdown editor!

New backend launch process

We've got a revamped backend launch process that coordinates version verifications, migrations, and communication to the user.

We check and inform the user if the backend version they are using in incompatible. We check and inform the user if the backend needs an update. We initiate the update and inform the user if there were any migration errors. And if everything goes well, we launch the backend!

New Components:

• IncompatibleBackend
• MigratingBackend
• MigrationFailed

Be sure to check out the latest qri backend release to see the other fixes we inherit.

Bug Fixes

• Storybook: get all Storybook stories to render (47621a3)
• Storybook: re-enable Storybook to build (a177512)
• set correct link to github org on welcome screen (ba13ef7)

Features

• migration: adjust BackendProcess, main.dev.js & App.ts so we can coordinate migrations! (#571) (41cf068)
• migration components: add migration components to conditionally render on app-launch (866a9e4)
• readme: improve markdown css (2956882)

0.4.2 (2020-04-20)

The Qri Desktop 0.4.2 patch fixes a major export bug! It also fixes two minor bugs surrounding fetching datasets for display in the Workbench.

Be sure to check out the latest qri backend release to see the other fixes we inherit.

Bug Fixes

• workbench: adjust action to fall through and load history dataset if path is provided (a16367b)
• workbench: if we are given a path, fall through and allow the commit to be fetched (73277ec)

0.4.1 (2020-04-07)

This release is all about minor bug fixes, clean up, stabilization, and updating the desktop app to work with the latest qri release!

Be sure to check out the latest qri backend release to see the lovely fixes we inherit.

Export

In a combined effort from the backend and desktop, we've fixed the export bug! Right-clicking the version you want to export, and clicking 'export this version', opens the save dialog, prefilled with a default zipname.

API changes

This desktop update adjusts our requests to meet the expectations of the latest qri backend's API

Reloading

Because of those wonderful backend api changes, we were able to fix a long-standing bug where re-loading on the workbench page broke the app. Now you can reload to your heart's content

Websockets

Combining websockets and the backend status request changes, we are able to more intelligently re-fetch fsi linked datasets as you make changes to them using a text editor and the qri desktop app.

Editing

Cleaned up a whole lotta bugs surrounding ui flickering in meta and structure editing. Also, all meta and structure fields are now tested in our visual end to end tests.

Bug Fixes

• export: send correct path for export (726e0eb)
• fetchWorkingDatasetDetails: don't fetch status unless dataset is linked (04625de)
• mappingFunc: account for different expected history response behavior (32f757a)
• MultiStructuredInput: fix bug that caused component flickering (5e52a7f)
• selectStatusFromMutations: corrently pull or create a status (028f40b)

Features

• selections: adding workbench selections and actions (d32d201)

0.4.0 (2020-03-05)

Release notes 0.4.0

Welcome to the Qri Desktop App version 0.4.0!

This version is one of our biggest to date. We've got a whole slew of new features for you to explore & a number of bugs have been squashed. With this release you can now browse, search, and clone datasets, all within the app. We’ve brought dataset editing in-app, and we’re premiering our first visual diffing tool with the compare section.

Network Explorer

The first big feature we’re showing off is our new Network page. Browse the Qri network in app! Preview featured and recently published datasets without having to download the full dataset. Find a dataset you want to view in its entirety? Clone the dataset! That will download it from the network to your computer.

This also means that when you publish, other users will be able to see your work directly in-app. More people will see your work!

Dataset Search

And what browsing experience would be complete without search? We put a navigation bar at the top of the app so you can search the Qri network or your own local Qri repo for datasets, no matter where you are in the app.

There is also a back and forward button in the nav bar so you can walk back through your browsing history.

In-App Editing

You can now edit your dataset in app without having to checkout your files to the file system! This streamlines and simplifies iteration for those who don't need the feature of linking your dataset to a folder on your computer.

You can edit the Readme, Meta, and Structure component in the Status tab of the Workbench. To make changes to the Body, edit the file using an appropriate app (text editors, Numbers, Excel, etc.), save (as .csv), and drag and drop the new version of the body file onto the Body component. When you make your commit, your new version will contain that updated body!

Diff CSV’s with the Compare View

The next phase of features for Qri involve heavy use of structured data diffing, and we’re starting with an experiment. Use the compare view to generate a diff of any two csv files. This feature is very much a work-in-progress. If you have any feedback while you use the compare view, please let us know by filing an issue!

In the future we plan to expand to other file formats, dataset comparison, and up the size limit. We plan to make diff display one of the central things Qri does, and once we’re sure we have a stable, accurate compare view, we’ll start adding it more and more places throughout the app.

Bug logging

If you are having a problem with the app and you want to file an issue, you can now get a copy of your app's debug log by navigating to help -> Export debug log. This will give the developers more insight into what may have gone wrong.

0.3.0 (2019-12-12)

Welcome to Qri Desktop 0.3.0! We've made a huge overhaul on our UI and UX design in this release as well as streamlined some key flows in the app.

Redesign

We've changed the layout of our app to switch between two main views: the Collections view and the Dataset view. On the Collections page, you can view a list of all your datasets, get important key details about them, and use drag and drop functionality to create a new dataset from an existing file easily. The Dataset page is where you can view and edit a specific dataset. The 'Status' pane reflects the status of the dataset as it exists now, highlighting changes you have made since your last commit and allowing you to make edits to the structure, metadata, and readme portions of your dataset. The 'History' pane allows you to explore previous versions of your dataset, so you can see what has changed over time.

We've also adjusted the commit message view. We want to encourage you to write detailed messages that describe the work that went into creating the latest version of the dataset and what has changed. To help that, we've moved the commit message to its own page to give you the room to write down all the helpful information that's in your head.

Import

One important flow that has been redesigned and streamlined is the import flow. It's incredibly easy to add a dataset to Qri: all you need to do is drag and drop the main file over the app and Qri Desktop will add the file to Qri and create an initial commit, giving you a starting point as you work on your dataset. We now have a progress bar that estimates the time needed to add your dataset. Once it has been imported, if you want to edit the dataset and make further changes or improvements, you can do so on the 'Status' pane. Just 'Checkout' the dataset to a folder on your computer and you can make edits in the Qri Desktop app, or in any other program. As long as those files remain in that folder, Qri can pick up those changes for you and display them in the Qri Desktop app.

Rename

We wanted to make changing your dataset's name as easy as possible. Once you import a dataset using the drag and drop functionality, Qri will guess the dataset name based on the file name. You can easily re-name it when you are on the Dataset page by clicking on the name!

Bug Fixes

• bodyValue: account for null or undefined previous body values (f9a93e0)
• readme: add readme to commitDetails reducer (38e545d)
• StatsChart: fix rename bugs (ccadc62)

Features

• add dataset rename (a505582)
• add dataset rename (6f993f4)
• add streamlined import flow (2de9a51)
• commit: add commit tab and page to display commit message in history view (8ad25a0)
• transform: initial support for transform display (7797cad)

0.2.1 (2019-11-18)

This release cycle we focused on two features (Readmes and Stats), various bug fixes, and bringing storybook into desktop for development:

Readmes

Now you can create Readme markdown files with Qri Desktop! Qri Desktop will also automatically pick up a readme.md file that exists in the dataset folder, if you have connected the dataset to a folder. It will also pick up any changes to that file. You can also preview the rendered and formatted readme before saving your changes to the dataset.

Stats

Qri can now automatically generate useful stats based on your dataset. If you're dataset is tabular, you can view these stats by clicking on a column header. Different column header types generate different stats, eg, numeric column types will generate averages and medians, string column types will generate a max length and min length, etc. These stats give you an overview of what is happening inside your dataset and can be used to spot check your data!

Bug Fixes

• BodyTable: if we've fetchedAll, do not fetch another page (2f5a954)
• bodyValue: account for null or undefined previous body values (afef2ed)
• ComponentList: right-click to discard change from ComponentList works again (d6dfef7)

• drag-and-drop: drag and drop a data file to create a dataset (1f121fe)
• fetchStats, fetchCommitStats: add api call to get stats! (aae9e29)
• ReadmeHistory: create component that shows versioned Readmes (0dd5619)
• stat: add numeric stat, quick stats component (ee26539)
• storybook,Stat: initial string Stat component with story (2f9443d)
• transform: initial support for transform display (08464af)

0.2.0 (2019-11-06)

Hello friends! This is our first major change to the Qri Desktop since release!

This release comes packaged with the latest version of Qri (check out more about that in the Qri v0.9.1 release docs).

We've fixed some major bugs that our lovely betas have requested (learn how to become an official beta here) and we've made improvements based on how we've seen the app get used.

Adding Structure to Schema

We've moved the schema component into structure. This change lets you configure how formats like CSV are interpreted from within Qri Desktop!

If you were having trouble with header rows showing up in Body before, you'll see new options in the structure component that let you fix the issue. We've also renamed the file where this is stored from schema.json to structure.json, and moved schema inside the structure.json file.

🏎 Faster Data Views!

We've updated our csv and json viewers to be snappier and better formatted! This should make working with large datasets much easier.

You can now export your dataset (and get the underlying data and files) at any version by right-clicking the version, in the History and clicking Export Version

The app is now notarized for macOS 10.15.1

Thanks!

v0.1.0-rc1 (2019-09-4)

Welcome to the Qri Desktop release candidate! Qri Desktop is an app for creating and managing datasets and versions (meant to replace the Qri Frontend app). It gives a UI to our qri commandline tool. This is a release candidate, so all features have not been perfected yet. Qri Desktop will make it easy for you to create and version datasets, look back through the history of your datasets to see what has changed, and to double check your changes before you commit them! You can also publish your datasets and add colleagues datasets' that have already been published.

Qri is an amalgamation of three hefty areas: a version control system, a network to other data users, and a database for your local data. In order to make working with Qri and it's local database easier, we have implimented a way to integrate your normal filesystem to our database. You can have your working directories where you keep your current workspace and data, but still be able to commit/save to your qri database at important times during your workflow. Using Qri, you can load your data from those specific points if you have made a mistake, or you just want to view the data at a different point in time. The Qri Desktop app gives you the ability to visualize all those different versions and your different datasets from one application.

Even though this is a release candidate, Qri Desktop is extremely functional and can be used right away to begin versioning and publishing your data! The main feature we are missing (which is why we are considering this a candidate and not an official release as of yet) is the ability to delete dataset versions from inside the Qri Desktop app. This functionality exists in the command line client, which comes bundled with Qri Desktop. Check out the Qri CLI reference here if you run into this problem.

We are also currently cleaning up our add functionality. If you are trying to add from the network, you will most likely encounter bugs. This will be cleaned up by the next release.

On our immediate roadmap:

• the ability to delete versions of a dataset
• basic metadata editing within the app
• adjustments to onboarding, specifically how a user goes from zero to one dataset
• tuning the file system integration for easier/more expected use
