2009-01-03 Sync'Em 1.19 (1.19 2009.01.03.1) released.

Changes from version 1.18:

  • integrates the Exchange-server login troubleshooting diagnostics along with "almost automatic" support ticket creation (you're always in control of anything that's sent to us)
  • adds full license-status reporting in the Sync'Em "About" preferences tab
  • improves the status display in the Sync'Em menu extra for certain Sync'Em Engine cases
  • fixes a long-standing issue with an underlying database getting "wedged" & hanging things up (this issue was "covered up" by a problem that was fixed in 1.18)
  • fixes an issue that could cause the menu extra/SystemUIServer to crash
  • fixes an issue where the installer would "wait forever" if OS X's launchd didn't stop a Sync'Em Engine process

2008-12-18 Sync'Em 1.18 (1.18 2008.12.18.2) released.

Version 1.18 is the result of an intense effort that addresses all reported issues, some of which was accomplished only via significant and much appreciated community participation.

Changes from version 1.17:

  • adds a manual "Sync All Setups" capability
  • adds multiple small but important user interface enhancements and clarifications
  • adds handling for duplicate IDs created via copies at sync source, system failures and/or erroneous syncs — not necessarily by Sync'Em (caused sync failures)
  • fixes a "spin forever doing nothing" problem as a result of certain network issues (caused sync failures)
  • ensures a "long" login name (i.e., with "@gmail" appended) to work around a problem where some Google APIs don't work via a "short" login name (caused sync failures)
  • fixes a problem where an Exchange distribution list would cause incomplete contacts syncing
  • fixes a problem that allowed an incomplete Exchange Access to be setup (caused sync failures)
  • works around sqlite's inability to reliably support access via multiple processes (could cause intermittent sync failures)
  • fixes a problem interacting with OS X's Sync Services (could cause sync failures)
  • works around more Exchange "bad data" instances (caused sync failures)
  • enhances the built-in troubleshooting capabilities (added many KB articles to website)

2008-12-08 Sync'Em 1.17 (1.17 2008.12.05.1) released.

  • improved the Basic Setup assistant

  • fixes a SyncServices Bug when an alarm has both a trigger date and a relative trigger duration
