Improvements

Enhanced Performance and Scalability

This release includes significant performance upgrades to improve speed for individual users and reliability for large teams.

• Improved Cache Read Performance: We have optimized how data is read from the local cache on macOS, Windows, and Linux. In some cases, reading data from the cache is now significantly faster. Additionally, the default size of the in-memory data cache has been increased from 64MiB to 256MiB on the desktop clients.

On Windows specifically, we've updated the LucidFS driver which brings major performance improvements for reads served from your local cache. Applications that read files in small chunks are expected to see the biggest benefit, with read speeds up to 6× faster than before in some workflows. The actual gain depends on read size and your local storage speed. In synthetic benchmarks, 4 KB reads can reach up to 3 GB/s, compared to around 100 MB/s previously.

• Enhanced Service Scalability: We have introduced changes in some of our key services to handle a much higher volume of parallel connections and heavier loads. This ensures a smooth and reliable experience for large organizations or any setup depending on high-volume, simultaneous data access.
• Improved local cache write performance: In some cases on Windows writing locally is significantly faster.

[Windows] LucidFS driver update

We've updated the WIndows LucidFS driver. A device reboot is required after installing this update for the new driver to take effect.
 

Product Update: Enterprise-Ready Connectivity & Security

We are excited to announce a significant update to LucidLink’s networking capabilities, designed to meet the infrastructure requirements of our global enterprise partners and customers. This update focuses on easy integration into secure, high-scale corporate environments.

Enhanced Proxy & Infrastructure Support

Enhanced proxy & infrastructure support to meet rigid security and networking standards, we have expanded our infrastructure support to include domain-based proxy configurations.

• Improved Network Routing (FQDN): We now support Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) based proxy configurations. This allows LucidLink to fit easily into complex corporate firewalls and modern network architectures without the need for manual workarounds or complex custom scripts.
• Built for Global Scale: These updates eliminate the dependency on static IP addresses. IT teams can now deploy and manage LucidLink across dynamic, secure global networks with greater agility and less administrative overhead.

What this means for you:

IT administrators can now leverage their existing DNS and proxy management tools to route LucidLink traffic, ensuring compliance with internal security policies while providing users with the same high-speed file access they expect.
