Version 4.0.3
June 10, 2009
Enhancements:
- Added workaround logic for NTFS-3G bugs.
- When a deletion is performed in the Archive panel, the sync document is now marked as dirty.
- Now displays an informative message when a "Compare" operation is attempted with no valid comparison helpers available.
- Installer improvements.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a problem whereby, in specific scenarios, conflicts encountered in scheduled container sync documents would result in a hang.
- Fixed a bug whereby mismatched attributes in conflict sheets presented in container sync documents would not be highlighted in red.
- Fixed a problem that would cause the application to hang if there were multiple items scheduled to run at application termination.
- Fixed a bug where certain icons would not display if the local agent had not been installed.
- Fixed a potential crash when updating nested/expanded folders in the Analyze panel.
- Fixed various bugs related to package aggregation when the sync target was itself a package.
- Fixed a bug whereby the file/folder information in the Analyze panel was being redrawn improperly if the split view was partially or fully closed while the window was resized.
- Fixed a bug whereby adjustments to the filename column width in the Archive panel would not persist after a file at least one level deep in the outline view was deleted.
- Fixed a bug whereby changes to the email recipient address would not be recorded if the user clicked out of the field by clicking on the "Custom subjects" checkbox.
- Fixed a bug whereby the first couple lines on the second page of the analysis report could be skipped, depending on sync document settings and how the report paginated.
- Fixed an exception/potential crash that could occur when file-pairs in the Analyze panel suddenly disappear (often manifested by toggling "Show All" quickly).
- Fixed a bug whereby clicking "Pause" during a sync when a file was in the midst of being copied could result in the synchronizer remaining paused indefinitely.
Version 4.0.2

- Added a check to see if the user has opened up a backup copy of a sync or container document.
- Added a "Secure connection" message in the Setup panel if the agent connection is encrypted.

Version 4.0.1
January 21, 2009
Bug Fixes:
- Fixes a problem that some users had registering the program.
- Fixes a long stall that occurred when opening documents and launching the application on some user's systems.
- Fixed some problems that occurred when the base language was not represented by a Roman text system. This problem could manifest itself as failure to launch, inability to communicate with agents and possibly random crashes.
- Fixed a bug whereby if you ran a Trial Sync and then hit "Cancel" from the Trial Sync selector window, any file-pair scanned that was in-sync would have their "Last Synchronized" time stamp updated if it was previously set to "never".
- Modified the intelligence behind the "Timestamps" attribute trigger so that it ignores modification dates for files if the user has also enabled the "Modification Date" data trigger.
- Added the ability to disable ChronoSync's attempt to mount file servers asynchronously via a public plist entry.
- Added an "Update all users" custom option to the ChronoSync installer. This was always being done in previous installers, but is now an optional step in the installation process. Users installing ChronoSync on FIle Servers will typically want to turn OFF this step so the installer doesn't try to clean up each and every user's home folder. Users in certain Directory Services controlled environments may also want to consider turning this option off.
- Addressed some permission issues in the installer.
