1.11.0 Release Notes
Table of Contents
This release mostly focuses on various internal improvements and minor additions that exisited in some shape or form, and that are now polished enough for release. For example, it introduces a simple way of executing interactive rclone commands and uses that to finally fix OneDrive access.
On the side of visible changes, rcx will now automatically look for local storage locations when starting and add them as remotes. You can disable this in the settings. There’s also a few quality of life improvements, like the new remote properties dialog. Android will now display a settings shortcut ⚙️ when you go to the application info:
Changes in Google Play distribution
This release marks the end of the Google Play distribution alpha test. If you are currently in the alpha test, you can either switch to the new Beta channel or stay in the alpha channel. Unfortunately, Google does not provide an option to move you from the closed alpha channel to the open beta channel.
Future Alpha channel: You will receive all versions of rcx, including pre-release versions (currently only released as preview on GitHub).
Future Beta channel: You will receive release versions.
