Changes in 1.6.6:
- Feature: Added -z option.
- Bug fix: ColdSync dumped core unless there was at least one
pda block in .coldsyncrc .
Changes in 1.6.5:
- No user-visible changes.
Changes in 1.6.4:
- Bug fix: Fixed a case in which zero-length records got
created.
- Bug fix: ColdSync aborts a network sync if it cannot
establish a connection to the remote host.
Changes in 1.6.3:
- Feature: ColdSync can now forward a sync to another host on
the network.
- "-t net" runtime option selects listening on network.
- Installation: Now detects whether or not to enable USB
support.
- Installation, I18n: 'make install' intalls message catalogs.
- More descriptive error messages.
Changes in 1.6.2:
- No user-visible changes.
Changes in 1.6.1:
- No user-visible changes.
Changes in 1.6.0:
- Bug fix: Under FreeBSD, dumped core in USB mode if it found
the wrong USB device.
- Feature: ColdSync can now accept network sync requests from
HotSync.
Changes in 1.5.5:
- Bug fix: If a file couldn't be uploaded to the Palm, this
didn't get logged properly.
- Bug fix: The last database on the Palm never got synced or
backed up.
- Feature: Setting the connection speed to 0 (or omitting it)
in .coldsyncrc makes ColdSync go with whatever speed the
Palm suggests.
- Bug fix: ColdSync didn't properly detect whether it needed
to perform a slow or a fast sync.
Changes in 1.5.4:
- Feature: If the Palm hasn't been properly initialized,
ColdSync now suggests a pda{} block to add to .coldsyncrc .
- Feature: More robust in the face of noisy serial lines and
such.
- Bug fix: Timeouts weren't properly implemented under some
OSes, so communications with the Palm didn't work quite
right.
- Bug fix: username didn't get properly written on Palm.
Changes in 1.5.3:
- Feature: Added Init mode.
- Bug fix: Usage string (for 'coldsync -h') is now up to date.
Changes in 1.5.2:
- Performance: Information about the Palm is retrieved only
when it's needed, so ColdSync should (seem to) run faster.
Changes in 1.5.1:
- Feature: ColdSync now reads ${prefix}/etc/coldsync.conf
before reading user's .coldsyncrc .
- Feature: Added Install conduits.
Changes in 1.5.0:
- Introduced run modes ("-ms", "-mb", "-mr"). "-b" and "-r"
options are still supported, but deprecated.
Changes in 1.4.6:
- Bug fix: the shipped conduits wouldn't run.
- Feature: the 'send-mail' conduit allows you to specify the
name of the Outbox category, for people with non-English
Palms.
- I18n: updated German translation.
Changes in 1.4.5:
- Bug fix: If the user specified an invalid command-line
option, ColdSync would print an incorrect error message.
Changes in 1.4.4:
- Bug fixes: miscellaneous bug fixes and stability
enhancements.
- Portability: ColdSync might compile and run under Windows NT
with cygwin.
- Bug fix: Certain well-formed PDBs (e.g., the Noah Lite
dictionaries) used to be rejected as invalid.
Changes in 1.4.3:
- Feature: The .coldsyncrc file can now specify a conduit with
path "[generic]" to run the built-in generic conduit. The
defaults haven't changed, but now you can specify other Sync
conduits, and the order in which they will run.
Changes in 1.4.2:
- Added documentation for "preference:" feature.
Changes in 1.4.1:
- Portability: Now stands a chance of compiling and running
properly under Windows.
- Portability: Got rid of some warnings under Linux.
Changes in 1.4.0:
- Feature: Preferences. Conduits can now receive preferences
from the Palm.
Changes in 1.3.0:
- Feature: Support for Sync conduits, which run while ColdSync
is connected to the Palm, and which allow interaction with
the Palm. (This is still very unfinished, though.)
- The description of PDB format has been removed from the
distribution, since Palm now documents this quite adequately
and authoritatively:
http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/docs/fileformats.zip
Changes in 1.2.8:
- No user-visible changes.
Changes in 1.2.7:
- Feature: a conduit block may now contain several "type:"
lines.
Changes in 1.2.6:
- No user-visible changes.
Changes in 1.2.5:
- Bug fix: if stdin, stdout, or stderr were closed when
ColdSync was run, dump conduits misbehaved. Fixed.
Changes in 1.2.4:
- Bug fix: if a record's category changes on the Palm, it
changes on the desktop as well.
- Bug fix: generic conduit archived the wrong record
sometimes.
Changes in 1.2.3:
- None that users care about.
(For the curious: conduit blocks now accept "preference:"
directives. But these aren't used anywhere yet.)
Changes in 1.2.2:
- Feature: Conduit blocks now take a comma-separated list of
flavors.
Changes in 1.2.1:
- Feature: You can now set the username and user ID on the
Palm.
Changes in 1.2.0:
- Better support for i18n under Linux.
- 'lex' is no longer supported. You need 'flex'.
- Syntax: colons are now required after most directives in
.coldsyncrc . Currently, missing colons will cause a
warning. They will become mandatory in a future release.
- Better reporting of errors in .coldsyncrc .
Changes in 1.1.10:
- The distribution includes a sample .coldsyncrc .
- Installation: You can now build ColdSync with one path
prefix and install it with another.
- Bug fix: No longer causes the Palm to reset when syncing
certain databases.
- Bug fix: If the type and creator were in double quotes, they
didn't get set correctly. Fixed.
Changes in 1.1.9:
- Feature: if the "path" directive in a conduit block is
omitted, it is equivalent to a "do nothing" conduit. This
can be useful in conjunction with the "default" and "final"
options.
- Future feature: PDAs can have a symbolic name.
- Feature: conduits now take user-supplied configuration
arguments.
- Feature: it is now possible to compile ColdSync with one
value of "prefix" and install it with another.
- Added FAQ.
- Several conduits added to the distribution.
- Feature: ColdSync now tries to abort cleanly if the user
cancels the sync on the Palm.
- Bug fix: All records in certain categories would
occasionally be seen as "deleted and archived".
Changes in 1.1.8:
- Feature: ColdSync now reads the serial number from the
Palm's ROM, if possible. Users can specify "pda { }" blocks
in .coldsyncrc, and specify where the backup for a given PDA
should go.
Changes in 1.1.7:
- Bug fix: log didn't get initialized properly.
- Bug fix: deleting a record on the Palm could cause a
segmentation fault.
- Now possible to force a new database to be installed, even
if it's older than the version currently installed on the
Palm.
- Conduit declarations can have the "default" keyword.
Changes in 1.1.6:
- Bug fix: wouldn't compile.
Changes in 1.1.5:
- I18N: Added German and French translations.
- Can now force installing new databases, even if this would
overwrite existing ones.
- Bug fix: Locally-deleted records didn't get deleted on the
Palm.
Changes in 1.1.4:
- Bug fix: a sanity check had gone horribly wrong.
Changes in 1.1.3:
- Bug fix: ColdSync wouldn't recognize the second and
subsequent conduits of the same flavor.
- Improved tutorial.
- Weird characters in database names handled properly.
- Improved Perl conduit API.
- Can specify connection type (serial, USB, ...) on the
command line.
- I18N: messages can now be printed in the user's native
language.
- "final" conduit implemented.
- No longer have to quote creator/type pairs in .coldsyncrc.
