Since version 1.31, the following changes and improvements have also been made:
DirSync Pro 1.4b4 has been released!!!
And here is the fourth beta with lots of fixes. There are also a couple of new features: ‘Schedule Minutely’, Program exit codes, new type of log files. This is the last beta for 1.4, that means no new feature will be added to 1.4 version. The next version will most likely be the release candidate. Here is the complete changelog
Added:
- Implemented the ‘Schedule Minutely’ function to schedule a job recurrently every X minutes (feature request: Carlos).
- Status line on the schedule queue tab which shows the status of the schedule engine.
- Exit codes if an error has happened while synchronizing in batch mode: 0= Finished with No Errors, 1=Finished with Warnings or Non-fatal Errors, 2=Stopped due to fatal errors (feature request: Matthias Gutheil).
- DirSync Pro is now able to create three types of logfiles: 1) Job specific log file which contain the events of a job, 2) Jobset log file which contain the events of all the jobs within the jobset, 3) Program log file which contain the events of all jobsets.
