Releases for Monday 10/13/2008
This is the second public release of QSync (0.3).
The GUI is looking better, and there are many fewer bugs than before,
but downloading through rsync (which is what most people will use QSync
for) works very well. This version does not depend on the system rsync
binary at all - it uses a built-in version of rsync.
So, what doesn't work?
The syncing portion of QSync isn't quite right yet. When downloading
files that already exist in up-to-date form on the client side, the
rsync operation will complete successfully, but the progress info will
not be updated for said files. This is a feature that will be implemented
in subsequent versions of QSync. Uploading files will also come in later
versions, as I'm guessing most people are less likely to use this feature.
