Following on the heels of our 1.0 (1.261, really) release, we are happy to announce a small update that should provide an important performance enhancement. Not really a bugfix release, although it does fix a minor issue with OS X, this release contains a fairly significant optimization of our synchronization algorithm. We highly recommend upgrading if you are running any previous version of SecretSync.
The optimization comes by improving the way the algorithm detects whether a file has been renamed or simply has been added, and reduces not only CPU cycles, but also disk I/O.
In troubleshooting a problem with a customer on OS X we also identified an issue that was causing the sync cycle to remain in an aggressive state. This only affected OS X systems, and is now patched.
Upgrading
If you are already a user of SecretSync, there is no need to uninstall. For Windows and Mac OS X, simply download the current version, and run the install. Do not uninstall first.
If you are on Linux, follow the instructions for upgrading at this link.
