ChronoAgent 1.4.0 - Changelog

What's new in ChronoAgent 1.4.0:

January 3rd, 2013

Features:
· All-new ChronoAgent Monitor to help monitor the status of and easily update ChronoAgent from the menubar.

· Added support for remote file system observers and remote FSEvent queries for improved sync scan performance in future products.
· Added support for enhanced sync compression for use in future products.
· Added auto-reconnect logic for clients that support it.

Fixes:

October 12th, 2012

· Improved the efficiency of self-diagnostics.
· Fixed some incorrect translations in the French and German versions.
· Fixed a bug in the Preference Pane that would not allow a port value larger than 56535 to be specified.

What's new in ChronoAgent 1.3.6:

September 7th, 2012

· Fixed a rare timing problem that would falsely trigger a "File Not Found" error when syncing very large files.

What's new in ChronoAgent 1.3.5:

August 17th, 2012
