Changelog

This is for major changes only; especially ones that break or change functionality

20210626.0:

  • Changes the conflict "tag" names from, for example, file.ext.nameA to file.nameA.ext.
    • Tests updated to reflect that change

20200916.0

  • Add exclude_if_present option to exclude certain directories based on the existence of a file. This is implemented as a post-listing filter so the directory is still transversed but then later filters. While less efficient, it is both simpler to code and allows for excludes to work on both sides making it much safer
  • Updates ldtable to DictTable (aa019ec800)
  • Adds note that rclone is still supported but users should migrate to syncrclone as it is better for rclone remotes
  • WARNING: This is likely the last or nearly last version to support python2

20200814.0

  • Fixed buffsize warnings with python 3.8

20200423.0:

The remote specification of the PyFiSync path has been changed to just specifying remote_exe. The prior settings remote_program and PyFiSync_path will still work but will throw a deprecation warning and may break in future releases.

No warnings will be issued but this is likely the last (or nearly last) release that will support Python 2.

Other minor changes.

  • Added stats on transfers and file lists
  • Fixed a bug and added test wherein the config file was not executed from the sync directory as expected.

20191119:

Minor bug fix for ssh+rsync backend where the default excludes (e.g. .git) were being applied even when they were explicitly not intended to be excluded.

20191115:

This change is all about using file hashes.

  • Added ability to tell PyFiSync to compare hashes instead of or in addition to mtime. This is much more robust, though more expensive
    • mtime is still used to resolve conflicts but if two files have differing mtime but the same hash (and name), they are not transfered.
  • Added the ability to specify any hashlib.algorithms_guaranteed for local and rsync remotes.
    • Also added dbhash
    • Changed adler to return hex value. (and actually made adler an option)
  • Improved hashdb test to ensure it is actually being used (it was! It just wasn't tested well)

Plus minor bug fixes, typo fixes, and other improvements

20190509:

This is a major change! Assuming PyFiSync has been updated on both sides, it is a good practice to copy your old config file, make a new one, and then manually update as needed.

Some (but not all) changes are:

  • Added an rclone backend. The config file for rclone is very different but the rsync only has a few minor changes
  • Removed git_exclude completely. It was a nice feature but really could be accomplished by only allowing certain files in git and then excluding them from PyFiSync
  • Removed push/pull modes. They were not as robust and didn't add to the tool
