New in DEVONthink 2.9 (Jul 21, 2016)

This release brings a completely rewritten synchronization. It replaces the synchronization introduced with DEVONthink Personal 2.5 with a much more flexible and reliable model. It will also be used to communicate with the upcoming DEVONthink To Go 2.0. The next-generation sync supports synchronizing databases directly via the local network, any mounted volume, WebDAV and Dropbox. All communication is encrypted if an encryption password is provided.
NOTE: The next-generation sync is NOT backward-compatible. It is necessary to delete existing sync stores and re-synchronize the databases.
