Overview
Early Access update for Windows focused on desktop workflow refinements, clearer command output, snapshot reliability improvements, and bug fixes across everyday save and review workflows. Rinne remains local-first, with snapshots, save, diff, restore, extract, validate, notes, Spaces, autosave, autonote, and maintenance tools.
Changes in v0.9.5
- Added new desktop UI features and refinements, including log access, additional autosave options, and workflow-related improvements.
- Improved the detail output of the autonote and diff commands to include clearer reporting of mtime-only changes.
- Fixed a Linux-specific timestamp precision issue where nanosecond values could be discarded.
- Improved core snapshot functionality and internal code reliability.
- Fixed bugs found during CLI, GUI, autosave, autonote, diff, and general workflow testing.
Core technology
- Content-addressable storage (CAS): repeated content is reused instead of stored again.
- Content-defined chunking: variable-size chunks help deduplication stay effective even when content shifts after edits.
- BLAKE3-based hashing: fast hashing keeps local saves and validation responsive.
- Zstandard compression: stored chunks are compressed, with adjustable levels for speed or storage efficiency.
- Tunable parallelism: worker parallelism can be adjusted for your machine and workload.
Details
- Version: v0.9.5
- Compatibility: As this is Early Access, internal formats and CLI output may change until v1.x.
- Requirements: Windows 11 (x64) for the v0.9.5 Windows release.
- Distribution: Windows x64 is available now. Linux packages for v0.9.5 are planned for a later update.
Things to know
This update is currently for Windows only. Linux packages for v0.9.5 will be added after preparation and testing.
On some NAS/filesystems, mtime precision may be rounded, which can reduce save cache effectiveness.
If needed, consider save --full.
