Synk Backup Release Notes

Fixed an issue that could prevent the archive location from being successfully configured
synkd can now successfully work with script stores that have been relocated via a symbolic link

Fixed an issue that could prevent machines from automatically sleeping when ZeroScan was enabled
Synk now correctly detects when a needed volume was already mounted using a different address from the configured one (e.g. Foo.local vs. the IP), and won't automatically unmount it after the run
Worked around a bug in Leopard's handling of invisible files
Worked around a bug in Leopard causing problems with network volumes with a '#' in their name
Fixed an issue where log contents would sometimes not be displayed when disclosing a log
Fixed an issue where certain types of errors incorrectly weren't treated as requiring a retry by ZeroScan
Synk now responds faster to a network volume disappearing in the middle of a run
Synchronization root definition UI's internals were rewritten; now more memory efficient, won't leave orphan roots in your script files
License files are now automatically detected via Spotlight and installed if necessary
The usual variety of general tweaks, improvements, and fixes

Progress is now also shown on the Dock icon
Worked around Leopard bug that could cause UI meltdown at the expense of not preserving some Finder attributes on symlinks. Will back this out once OS bug is fixed.
Better handling of files that change during the synchronization process
Cancels now take effect faster in several circumstances
The progress bar is now deterministic in more cases, and provides finer-grained resolution
More precise protection against nested copies; some situations that weren't allowed before are now allowed
Copy engine now more resilient against network failures and similar harsh terminations
Archiving now significantly faster when the archive is on the same volume as the old copy
Significantly more general improvements and fixes than can be listed here

Fixed problem with UI becoming unresponsive when working on batch scripts
Fixed problem with automounting disk images
Now only using the path to the disk image file to identify mounted disk images (disregarding volume UUIDs). This reduces resiliency to the disk image file being moved, but helps with the surprisingly common case of a disk image file being duplicated and then independently used, making the volume UUIDs no longer universally unique.
Fixed a problem with updating to the 6.3.x script store format
Worked around a problem that could cause "bad file descriptor" errors to be incorrectly returned to Synk in certain circumstances
Reenabled ZeroScan for operations on lists of folders
Enabled "autorun on mount" support for volumes involved in a list of folders
Improved support for resolution independent display (a.k.a. "Hi-DPI")
The usual variety of general tweaks, improvements, and fixes

Improved support for resolution independent display (a.k.a. "Hi-DPI")
Patched embedded Sparkle autoupdating framework to support changes to application structure
The usual variety of general tweaks, improvements, and fixes

Tweaked log display process to improve stability
Worked around the bug in Leopard that was causing extra items in the dock and improper "not responding" flags

Fixed a problem with scheduled runs not running until reboot after a previous run ended abnormally
The usual variety of general tweaks, improvements, and fixes

Fixed package mod date calculation on several foreign filesystems/network protocols
The usual variety of general tweaks, improvements, and fixes

Disabled conflict flagging in Synk Backup
Improved support for volumes mounted in strange places
Fixed a crasher when disclosing logs
Fixed a problem with automounting unmounted FW/USB drives
Fixed a problem with incorrect folder naming and strange log structure when using the "specific items" mode
Improved guidance during setup and when base directories aren't configured
Now showing more detailed progress/status reporting during runs
Reduced the Helper's memory usage
Fixed a problem where certain passwords would not be stored correctly
Added a specific override to not treat iPhoto '08 library packages and Aperture library packages as packages. Technically incorrect behavior, but heavily requested by users.
License files should now be more readily recognized by the OS as belonging to Synk
Fixed a problem where folders inside disk images wouldn't work properly as base directories
The usual variety of general tweaks, improvements, and fixes

Rewrote log display; dramatically faster, more informative, and easier to use
Added Growl notifications for the start of script
Potential workaround for Finder's refresh bug
Further optimized synkd's ZeroScan logging performance under deluges of file events
