3.120 & 3.122
Released: 19.03.2025

- removal of Pika Core landing - index of the system redirects to Pika Core Browser
- minor fixes (updating links, removal of unused, outdated script files/HTML blocks etc)
Note: Version 3.121 was intentionally skipped, because the build was cancelled, because it didn’t include all mandatory changes.
3.118 & 3.119
Released: 18.03.2025
Second and third recorded version. Too small to record them separately, but still adding them for the sake of accuracy.
Major (actually minor changes)
- Fix issue with mobile upload (upload partial wouldn’t ever show up)
- Minor changes (tighten up security for Upload endpoint, configuration tweaks for WWW proxy)
3.117
Released: 17.03.2025
First version to be recorded into this changelog. There will be a bigger, note-to-self post about 3.117. This changelog will be updated accordingly.
Major changes:
- Support for more than one MinIO instance
- Support for streaming bigger multipart payloads aka files (with complete UI change)
- Event hooks for MinIO events through Redis relay instead of in-library event hooks
- Memory optimization (less string duplicates, read/write cache operations are using byte-level structures instead of strings, ca. 200MB less heap usage)
- Minor optimizations on CPU-extensive workloads
- Database backups automated and set up
- Minor UI fixes - some icons changed in favour of Material Icons from Google etc
Pika Chat
This sections records whole app changelog. For now, the versions are just the dates at which the app was released, hence that the system is not deployed automatically. When it will get automated, the versions will be visible in the system itself. To keep everything consistent, the date versions will be assigned a version in format used in other systems: x.y.z.
Note: The system is in BETA stage, thus some views are just placeholders, some features won’t work the way they should or won’t work at all.
