This is a list of changes made to Synchronize!.

Version 3.1   May 31, 1994

• Synchronize! now runs on A/UX 3.0 and Macintosh Application Environment (MAE).

• Synchronizing newer files in one direction only is now possible. Click the arrow to change the direction. Files will be copied in the direction shown.

• When the Master box is checked, files in the folder the arrow points to will be replaced, even when they are being replaced by an OLDER file. This is not a change; Synchronize! has always worked this way. Now, however, the Master box no longer MUST be checked when the arrow points in only one direction.

• The list of files to copy can now be put in the background.

• Added "Don't open untitled windows at startup" to Preferences.

• Added logging of copied files to Log Preferences.

• Synchronize! is now aware of outline fonts, so that bitmap fonts are used for the main window and the list of files to copy.

• Warning dialogs for the Master check boxes and the "Delete files and folders not in the Master Folder" check box were added.

• The last left and right folders selected are remembered separately, to facilitate setting up multiple synchronization documents.

• Invisible files and files on the desktop can be specifically included or excluded from a synchronization.

• Selection of files "older than" or "newer than" a selected period of time, such as "3 days" or "5 weeks" is now possible. Choose "Copy only files..." or "Don't copy any files" from the Options menu.

• Files and folders on the desktop are now copied when an entire disk is synchronized or backed up.

Version 3.0.7   March 10, 1994

• Fixed a bug which caused system crashes and hangs (sorry) when conflict checking or "Sync deleted files" was enabled.

• Holding down the Option key when clicking in the close box of a window will now close all windows.

Version 3.0.6   February 28, 1994

• Added AppleScript dictionary support. The application is now scriptable. See the "AppleScript Support" topic for details.

• Added the ability to scan folders in the background.

• The "Can't find the disk" dialog is now automatically put away after 1 minute, so that other synchronizations can run when unattended.

• Added AutoSync, a very small (37 K) background application which monitors timed synchronizations, and automatically opens Synchronize! at the appropriate times.

• Fixed a bug which sometimes caused incorrect error messages when copying.

Version 3.0.5   February 1, 1994

• Fixed a bug which made the "Cancel" button in the dialog asking whether to save a changed document invalid when quitting.

Version 3.0.4   January 6, 1994

• Fixed a bug which caused "Start All" to crash with multiple documents.
• Fixed a bug which caused multiple documents started at Quit or Shut Down to cause a crash.

Version 3.0.3   December 30, 1993

• Fixed a problem with alias resolution.
• Fixed a bug in which setting an unsaved document to start when disks are available hangs.
• Fixed a problem which caused a hang if more than one document was set to start at Quit or Shut Down.

Version 3.0.2   December 23, 1993

• Fixed a bug which causes a crash when syncing folders which are already the same.
• Fixed a bug in which syncing periodically doesn't always work.
