Xmarks for Safari Changelog

What's new in Xmarks for Safari 2.0.18

Dec 6, 2014
  • Support newer (since Mavericks) Safari bookmarks layout in which the Bookmarks Menu folder is no longer needed. A common problem with the old layout is that toplevel bookmarks other than Bookmarks Toolbar are not synced. Xmarks will use the new layout on new installations automatically. For users with the Bookmarks Menu, upgrading to the new layout can be done by stopping Xmarks and Safari, renaming ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist to something else, restarting Xmarks, and performing a download.
  • Fix a sync error when move of a bookmark on the client conflicts with a delete of the same bookmark on the server.

New in Xmarks for Safari 2.0.16 (Jul 24, 2014)

  • Enable installer to run on Yosemite Beta versions.
  • Fix a sync error when the same bookmark is deleted and then re-created in a single sync session.

New in Xmarks for Safari 2.0.15 (Jun 10, 2014)

  • Fix sync error when a folder is deleted but the bookmarks inside are retained and moved to a different folder.
  • Stop using accessibility features when opening remote tabs. This removes a security warning suggesting that Xmarks wants to control the computer.
  • Always sync to a non-empty BookmarksBar if there are multiple copies in the local nodeset.

New in Xmarks for Safari 2.0.10 (Dec 20, 2013)

New in Xmarks for Safari 2.0.9 (Dec 14, 2013)
