Last Updated: 11/06/2006 =============================================================================== PeerSync, Peer-To-Peer Folder Synchronization Utility, Version 7.3 =============================================================================== To upgrade, double-click on the installation file (ps73.exe) in the Explorer window, or choose "Run" from the Start Menu and then select the application. If you are upgrading the current version of PeerSync (7.3.0 to 7.3.1) simply install the application over your existing PeerSync and the previous version will be backed up in a sub-folder called 'BACKUP' (if the option to keep a backup is selected during the installation). If you are evaluating a new version of PeerSync 7.3 and you already have an existing copy of PeerSync 7.2 or older, please select a new directory during the installation. =============================================================================== Note: For more information on the latest features and how to implement specific scenarios please goto: www.peersoftware.com/support/ps_documents.asp =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 7.3.1 PSProfiler Interface and PeerSync Engine - 11/06/2006 =============================================================================== ByteReplicator - An added “Root Path” feature in the PSListener Configuration tool to better manage data accessibility on the remote computer. This option is similar to how FTP servers set Root Paths to limit user access to local file system - Advanced PSListener Configuration Option - command line driven functionality for extended PSListener behavior that supports secure and easy management of multiple PeerSync/user connections (i.e. 25+ PeerSyncs). For more information please contact Sales. - Increased maximum byte-level segment size for improved large file (i.e. 10+ GB) updates - A new feature that checks the available space on the target device before byte-level transfer - Increased maximum file size capacity for byte-level replication (i.e. 25+ GB) - More comprehensive activity display during byte-level operations TCP WAN Connector (TCP) - Improved communication and persistence between PeerSync and the PSListener to better handle dropped and restored connections - Enhanced Retry cycle feature Exclusions - Ability to exclude files greater than 4 GB in size (minimum or maximum size value) Enhanced File Transfer Protocol (FTP) - Improved Time-Out behavior when selecting seconds or milliseconds - Graceful recovery from connection failures Deletions and Revisions - Improved Deletion and Revisioning logic to encompass the new ByteReplicator Advanced Configuration Options, new “Root Path” feature, bi-directional replication, as well as standard overall functionality Performance - Ability to transfer compressed files and folders from an NTFS drive. File storage better respects storage options, such as compression of drive, on source/destination NTFS drives - Improved normal scan times by as much as 50% - Optimized Copy Thread Display feature for better performance and improved feedback Profiler - Fixed an issue with the Additional Target Paths option not allowing new selections Licensing - Improved logic for registration and Profile validation =============================================================================== 7.3.0 PSProfiler Interface and PeerSync Engine - 10/12/2006 =============================================================================== TCP WAN Connector (TCP) - Provides connectivity to remote machines via TCP/IP protocol allowing scan/push/pull/rename/delete operations on remote folders/files - DES Encryption with username and password fields - Compression of message stream and file content stream New file/folder security transfer options (ACL’s) (not applicable for TCP and FTP Jobs) - More comprehensive ACL transfer options - Added ACL (security) change detection Enhanced File Transfer Protocol (FTP) - Adapted FTP operations to take advantage of MS Windows built-in FTP functionality for improved compatibility with disparate FTP servers - FTP host modified date time stamp padding. This option makes date comparison more flexible since FTP servers control time stamps of remote file - Improved thread spawning and termination - Improved connection loss recovery File Deletion and Revision Enhancements - Added techniques that utilize remote folder paths as variables to minimize the impact of storing deletions and revisions on remote hosts - Added Deletion “clean-up” support for Revision files, and all other file types that meet the clean-up specifications. This will create a log file with the extension “.del.log” - Improved log and message reporting (i.e. path to deletions folder, file/folder modified date/time stamp) - Enhanced capability for the deletion of non-local files and folders Performance Improvements - Reduced CPU usage during the Blackout period - Improved overall CPU utilization to allow for better background operations - Improved multi-threading methodologies to perform better parallel processing of file add/update/delete operations - Improved the way threads are allocated for Multi-Threaded operations. Threads now have a persistence to them that reduce system resource allocations during heavy usage ByteReplicator - DES Encryption with new username and password fields - Compression of message stream and file content stream - Two way (push/pull) byte-level operations - Improved log and message reporting - PSListener configuration shortcut now accessible from the Start --> Programs menu - Improved logic to support byte level replication of large files (i.e. 5+ GB) (We do not recommend using this feature for files greater than 25 GB) Licensing - Simplified connection licensing by associating the ByteReplicator license with the installed computer instead of the connection to the remote computer - Expanded ability to purchase options via an “ala-carte” method allowing users more freedom to choose the options they need - Added a PeerSync Enterprise Bundle that includes all available options in an easy-to-purchase package Interface - Updated look and feel through the use of a Skin option which can be enabled or disabled - Uses system date and time for display. This allows PeerSync to run smoothly on non English Windows - Smoother Progress bar display.
