We're happy to announce Ambar 1.3.0 is out!
What's new:
- We added new ways to visualize your search results: Folders View & Statistics View. Both are live and update as you type your search query.
- Many of you asked us to add ui localizations... Thanks to one of our customers who made it possible. As for now there are two options: Russian and English, change
uiLangin yourconfig.json. If you want to add your own localization, please contact us on hello@ambar.cloud. - If you don't want to preserve original files in Ambar, you can disable it in your config.json. Doing this highly reduces Ambar storage space requirements.

Unfortunately, this version is not backwards compatible. So, you have to perform a clean install.

Hello everyone!
Ambar 1.2.0 is out!
What's new?
- Now you can preview any file in Ambar

entitites:"hello@ambar.cloud" - We added tags coloring depending on tag's type
Before updating your Ambar to this version, you need to reset all the data in your Ambar with sudo ./ambar.py reset. After reset run sudo ./ambar.py update to get the latest version.
