Desktop sync client for Nextcloud file collaboration

Nextcloud Desktop keeps patching the 34 line while 35 sits on build-only updates.

◆Current state
Release 35.0.0 landed on 12 October with the client-side Assistant, unified search, OpenVFS virtual files on Linux and unified sharing. The 35 line has since been patch-only, and 35.0.3 on 5 November changed only build tooling. The older 34 line gets the user-facing fixes: 34.0.6 migrated duplicate journal inodes safely, and 34.0.7 on 12 November restores network request timeouts, fixes the Linux tray menu and lets branded builds hide the Self-host button.
◆Where it's heading
The team is running two maintained lines, and the sync-identity work around inodes is being fixed on both rather than only on 35. The 34 line is getting the heavier fixes now, which suggests many users have not moved to 35 yet.
◆Prediction
Expect more paired 34.x and 35.x patches focused on sync correctness and Windows virtual files; nothing in the entries points to a 36 preview soon.

    34.0.7 restores network timeouts and fixes the Linux tray menu

    Four small backports to the 34 line: network timeouts back on, a UTF-8 user agent, the classic tray menu on Linux and a branding switch to hide the Self-host button. More evidence that the 34 line, not 35, is where fixes land first for most users.

    35.0.3 updates build tooling only

    A build-only patch: Craft and brotli updates and a new AppImage Docker image. No user-facing change on the 35 line.

    34.0.6 backports inode migration and Windows VFS fixes

    A large backport batch for the 34 line: safe migration of duplicate journal inodes, no writing through local symlinks, more reliable Windows virtual files, a narrower File Provider keychain scope and a hideable sign-up button. It brings the inode correctness work from 35 to users still on 34.

    35.0.2 reverts unique inode index, fixes File Provider setup errors

    A three-backport patch on the new 35 line. Reverting the unique inode index points to a sync-identity change that caused trouble, and the rest is File Provider error cleanup and AppImage permissions.
