SynoBox

New major release:

• changed sync error management to throws errors at the end and not immediately
• differentiate blocking errors from warning errors, the later being ignored as nothing can be done for them (example: DMCA error)
• store errors in SynoBox instead of sending them to notification, changed notification to send a recap only
• updated gui to show errors and warnings (this will change again soon…)
• changed sync loop to add live status report
• updated gui to show live status, using IFRAME HTTP stream (this has changed since 0321 version)
• separation of runtime (SynoBoxBase) and main program (SynoBox) to allow easier and faster universal build and decrease bandwith usage
• new aramada370 arch, reported to work
• added an option to control debug flag, disabled by default
• fixed number of temporary files that could still increase till reaching limit, this is definitly solved

You will have to install SynoBoxBase before upgrading, which is available in the repository as well as in the download page, if it doesn’t automatically.

New minor fix release:

• fixed gui: in folder options with one-way sync, no delete and no conflict checkboxes were displayed inverted
• fixed sync: in folder options with no delete is checked, index was not updated when source item was deleted
• fixed sync: separate refresh and resync, as they are no more the same – troubleshooting resync text updated to explain the side effects of using it

Ideas for next version are: backup & restore, email & Synology notifications, documentation of course , and think about hibernation.

New major release:

• added desktop notifications, future release will allow to turn it on/off
• added scheduler to allow better sync management, default is now to sync every 5 minutes
• added an option to force overwrite of files instead of creating conflict (experimental)
• new gui to automatically map fast/ to random port, does not work yet everywhere
• fixed log display issue in optimized web server
• merge refresh and resync functions, now refresh/resync should not miss file anymore
• new powerpc platform – reduced optimization to -O0 and add fix for missing monotonic time function

Usage counter has reached the milestone of 400 people, thanks to everybody for your support.
