+\begin{changesfromversion}{2.32}
+\item Major enhancement: Unicode support.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Unison should now handle unicode filenames correctly on all platforms.
+\item This functionality is controlled by a new preference {\tt unicode}.
+\item Unicode mode is now the default when one of the hosts is under
+ Windows or MacOS. This may make upgrades a bit more painful (the
+ archives cannot be reused), but this is a much saner default.
+\end{itemize}
+\item Partial transfer of directories. If an error occurs while
+ transferring a directory, the part transferred so far is copied into
+ place (and the archives are updated accordingly).
+ The "maxerrors" preference controls how many transfer error Unison
+ will accept before stopping the transfer of a directory (by default,
+ only one). This makes it possible to transfer most of a directory
+ even if there are some errors. Currently, only the first error is
+ reported by the GUIs.
+
+ Also, allow partial transfer of a directory when there was an error deep
+ inside this directory during update detection. At the moment, this
+ is only activated with the text and GTK UIs, which have been
+ modified so that they show that the transfer is going to be partial
+ and so that they can display all errors.
+\item Improvement to the code for resuming directory transfers:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+ if a file was not correctly transferred (or the source has been
+ modified since, with unchanged size), Unison performs a new
+ transfer rather than failing
+ \item spurious files are deleted (this can happen if a file is deleted
+ on the source replica before resuming the transfer; not deleting
+ the file would result in it reappearing on the target replica)
+\end{itemize}
+\item Experimental streaming protocol for transferring file contents (can
+ be disabled by setting the directive "stream" to false): file
+ contents is transfered asynchronously (without waiting for a response
+ from the destination after each chunk sent) rather than using the
+ synchronous RPC mechanism. As a consequence:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item
+ Unison now transfers the contents of a single file at a time
+ (Unison used to transfer several contents simultaneously in order
+ to hide the connection latency.)
+ \item the transfer of large files uses the full available bandwidth
+ and is not slowed done due to the connection latency anymore
+ \item we get performance improvement for small files as well by
+ scheduling many files simultaneously (as scheduling a file for
+ transfer consume little ressource: it does not mean allocating a
+ large buffer anymore)
+ \end{itemize}
+\item Changes to the internal implementation of the rsync algorithm:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+ use longer blocks for large files (the size of a block is the
+ square root of the size of the file for large files);
+ \item transmit less checksum information per block (we still have less
+ than one chance in a hundred million of transferring a file
+ incorrectly, and Unison will catch any transfer error when
+ fingerprinting the whole file)
+ \item avoid transfer overhead (which was 4 bytes per block)
+\end{itemize}
+ For a 1G file, the first optimization saves a factor 50 on the
+ amount of data transferred from the target to the source (blocks
+ are 32768 bytes rather than just 700 bytes). The two other
+ optimizations save another factor of 2 (from 24 bytes per block
+ down to 10).
+\item Implemented an on-disk file fingerprint cache to speed-up update
+ detection after a crash: this way, Unison does not have do recompute
+ all the file fingerprints from scratch.
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item When Unison detects that the archive case-sensitivity mode
+ does not match the current settings, it populates the fingerprint
+ cache using the archive contents. This way, changing the
+ case-sensitivity mode should be reasonably fast.
+ \end{itemize}
+\item New preferences "noupdate=root", "nodeletion=root", "nocreation=root"
+ that prevent Unison from performing files updates, deletions or
+ creations on the given root. Also 'partial' versions of 'noupdate',
+ 'nodeletion' and 'nocreation'
+\item Limit the number of simultaneous external copy program
+ ("copymax" preference)
+\item New "links" preference. When set to false, Unison will report an
+ error on symlinks during update detection. (This is the default
+ when one host is running Windows but not Cygwin.) This is better
+ than failing during propagation.
+\item Added a preference "halfduplex" to force half-duplex communication
+ with the server. This may be useful on unreliable links (as a more
+ efficient alternative to "maxthreads = 1").
+\item Renamed preference "pretendwin" to "ignoreinodenumbers" (an alias is
+ kept for backwards compatibility).
+\item Ignore one-second differences when synchronizing modification time.
+ (Technically, this is an incompatible archive format change, but it
+ is backward compatible. To trigger a problem, a user would have to
+ synchronize modification times on a filesystem with a two-second
+ granularity and then downgrade to a previous version of Unison,
+ which does not work well in such a case. Thus, it does not
+ seem worthwhile to increment the archive format number, which would
+ impact all users.)
+\item Do not keep many files simultaneously opened anymore when the rsync
+ algorithm is in use.
+\item Add ``ignorearchives'' preference to ignore existing archives (to
+ avoid forcing users to delete them manually, in situations where one
+ archive has gotten deleted or corrupted).
+\item Mac OS
+\begin{itemize}
+\item fixed rsync bug which could result in an "index out of bounds"
+ error when transferring resource forks.
+\item Fixed bug which made Unison ignore finder information and resource
+ fork when compiled to 64bit on Mac OSX.
+\item should now be 64 bit clean (the Growl framework is not up to date,
+ though)
+\item Made the bridge between Objective C and Ocaml code GC friendly
+ (it was allocating ML values and putting them in an array which
+ was not registered with the GC)
+\item use darker grey arrows (patch contributed by Eric Y. Kow)
+\end{itemize}
+\item GTK user interface
+\begin{itemize}
+\item assistant for creating profiles
+\item profile editor
+\item pop up a summary window when the replicas are not fully
+ synchronized after transport
+\item display estimated remaining time and transfer rate on the
+ progress bar
+\item allow simultaneous selection of several items
+\item Do not reload the preference file before a new update
+ detection if it is unchanged
+\item disabled scrolling to the first unfinished item during transport.
+ It goes way too fast when lot of small files are synchronized, and it
+ makes it impossible to browse the file list during transport.
+\item take into account the "height" preference again
+\item the internal list of selected reconciler item was not always in
+ sync with what was displayed (GTK bug?); workaround implemented
+\item Do not display "Looking for change" messages during propagation
+ (when checking the targe is unchanged) but only during update detection
+\item Apply patch to fix some crashes in the OSX GUI, thanks to Onne Gorter.
+\end{itemize}
+\item Text UI
+\begin{itemize}
+\item During update detection, display status by updating a single line
+rather than generating a new line of output every so often. Should be less
+confusing.
+\end{itemize}
+\item Windows
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Fastcheck is now the default under Windows. People mostly use NTFS
+ nowadays and the Unicode API provides an equivalent to inode numbers
+ for this filesystem.
+\item Only use long UNC path for accessing replicas (as '..' is
+ not handled with this format of paths, but can be useful)
+\item Windows text UI: now put the console into UTF-8 output mode. This
+ is the right thing to do when in Unicode mode, and is no worse than
+ what we had previously otherwise (the console use some esoteric
+ encoding by default). This only works when using a Unicode font
+ instead of the default raster font.
+\item Don't get the home directory from environment variable HOME under
+ Windows (except for Cygwin binaries): we don't want the behavior of
+ Unison to depends on whether it is run from a Cygwin shell (where
+ HOME is set) or in any other way (where HOME is usually not set).
+\end{itemize}
+\item Miscellaneous fixes and improvements
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Made a server waiting on a socket more resilient to unexpected
+ lost connections from the client.
+\item Small patch to property setting code suggested by Ulrich Gernkow.
+\item Several fixes to the change transfer functions (both the internal ones
+ and external transfers using rsync). In particular, limit the number of
+ simultaneous transfer using an rsync
+ (as the rsync algorithm can use a large amount of memory when
+ processing huge files)
+\item Keep track of which file contents are being transferred, and delay
+ the transfer of a file when another file with the same contents is
+ currently being transferred. This way, the second transfer can be
+ skipped and replaced by a local copy.
+\item Experimental update detection optimization:
+ do not read the contents of unchanged directories
+\item When a file transfer fails, turn off fastcheck for this file on the
+ next sync.
+\item Fixed bug with case insensitive mode on a case sensitive filesystem:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+ if file "a/a" is created on one replica and directory "A" is
+ created on the other, the file failed to be synchronized the first
+ time Unison is run afterwards, as Unison uses the wrong path "a/a"
+ (if Unison is run again, the directories are in the archive, so
+ the right path is used);
+ \item if file "a" appears on one replica and file "A" appears on the
+ other with different contents, Unison was unable to synchronize
+ them.
+\end{itemize}
+\item Improved error reporting when the destination is updated during
+ synchronization: Unison now tells which file has been updated, and how.
+\item Limit the length of temporary file names
+\item Case sensitivity information put in the archive (in a backward
+ compatible way) and checked when the archive is loaded
+\item Got rid of the 16mb marshalling limit by marshalling to a bigarray.
+\item Resume copy of partially transferred files.

-Changes in Version 2.32.1
+Changes in Version 2.40.1
+ Changes since 2.31:
+ * Small user interface changes
+ + Small change to text UI "scanning..." messages, to print just
+ directories (hopefully making it clearer that individual
+ files are not necessarily being fingerprinted).
+ * Minor fixes and improvements:
+ + Ignore one hour differences when deciding whether a file may
+ have been updated. This avoids slow update detection after
+ daylight saving time changes under Windows. This makes Unison
+ slightly more likely to miss an update, but it should be safe
+ enough.
+ + Fix a small bug that was affecting mainly windows users. We
+ need to commit the archives at the end of the sync even if
+ there are no updates to propagate because some files (in
+ fact, if we've just switched to DST on windows, a LOT of
+ files) might have new modtimes in the archive. (Changed the
+ text UI only. It's less clear where to change the GUI.)
+ + Don't delete the temp file when a transfer fails due to a
+ fingerprint mismatch (so that we can have a look and see
+ why!) We've also added more debugging code togive more
+ informative error messages when we encounter the dreaded and
+ longstanding "assert failed during file transfer" bug
+
+ Changes since 2.27:
+ * If Unison is interrupted during a directory transfer, it will now
+ leave the partially transferred directory intact in a temporary
+ location. (This maintains the invariant that new files/directories
+ are transferred either completely or not at all.) The next time
+ Unison is run, it will continue filling in this temporary
+ directory, skipping transferring files that it finds are already
+ there.
+ * We've added experimental support for invoking an external file
+ transfer tool for whole-file copies instead of Unison's built-in
+ transfer protocol. Three new preferences have been added:
+ + copyprog is a string giving the name (and command-line
+ switches, if needed) of an external program that can be used
+ to copy large files efficiently. By default, rsync is
+ invoked, but other tools such as scp can be used instead by
+ changing the value of this preference. (Although this is not
+ its primary purpose, rsync is actually a pretty fast way of
+ copying files that don't already exist on the receiving
+ host.) For files that do already exist on (but that have been
+ changed in one replica), Unison will always use its built-in
+ implementation of the rsync algorithm.
+ + Added a "copyprogrest" preference, so that we can give
+ different command lines for invoking the external copy
+ utility depending on whether a partially transferred file
+ already exists or not. (Rsync doesn't seem to care about
+ this, but other utilities may.)
+ + copythreshold is an integer (-1 by default), indicating above
+ what filesize (in megabytes) Unison should use the external
+ copying utility specified by copyprog. Specifying 0 will
+ cause ALL copies to use the external program; a negative
+ number will prevent any files from using it. (Default is -1.)
+ Thanks to Alan Schmitt for a huge amount of hacking and to an
+ anonymous sponsor for suggesting and underwriting this extension.
+ * Small improvements:
+ + Added a new preference, dontchmod. By default, Unison uses
+ the chmod system call to set the permission bits of files
+ after it has copied them. But in some circumstances (and
+ under some operating systems), the chmod call always fails.
+ Setting this preference completely prevents Unison from ever
+ calling chmod.
+ + Don't ignore files that look like backup files if the
+ backuplocation preference is set to central
+ + Shortened the names of several preferences. The old names are
+ also still supported, for backwards compatibility, but they
+ do not appear in the documentation.
+ + Lots of little documentation tidying. (In particular,
+ preferences are separated into Basic and Advanced! This
+ should hopefully make Unison a little more approachable for
+ new users.
+ + Unison can sometimes fail to transfer a file, giving the
+ unhelpful message "Destination updated during
+ synchronization" even though the file has not been changed.
+ This can be caused by programs that change either the file's
+ contents or the file's extended attributes without changing
+ its modification time. It's not clear what is the best fix
+ for this - it is not Unison's fault, but it makes Unison's
+ behavior puzzling - but at least Unison can be more helpful
+ about suggesting a workaround (running once with fastcheck
+ set to false). The failure message has been changed to give
+ this advice.
+ + Further improvements to the OS X GUI (thanks to Alan Schmitt
+ and Craig Federighi).
+ * Very preliminary support for triggering Unison from an external
+ filesystem-watching utility. The current implementation is very
+ simple, not efficient, and almost completely untested--not ready
+ for real users. But if someone wants to help improve it (e.g., by
+ writing a filesystem watcher for your favorite OS), please make
+ yourself known!
+ On the Unison side, the new behavior is very simple:
+ + use the text UI
+ + start Unison with the command-line flag "-repeat FOO", where
+ FOO is name of a file where Unison should look for
+ notifications of changes
+ + when it starts up, Unison will read the whole contents of
+ this file (on both hosts), which should be a
+ newline-separated list of paths (relative to the root of the
+ synchronization) and synchronize just these paths, as if it
+ had been started with the "-path=xxx" option for each one of
+ them
+ + when it finishes, it will sleep for a few seconds and then
+ examine the watchfile again; if anything has been added, it
+ will read the new paths, synchronize them, and go back to
+ sleep
+ + that's it!
+ To use this to drive Unison "incrementally," just start it in this
+ mode and start up a tool (on each host) to watch for new changes
+ to the filesystem and append the appropriate paths to the
+ watchfile. Hopefully such tools should not be too hard to write.
+ * Bug fixes:
+ + Fixed a bug that was causing new files to be created with
+ permissions 0x600 instead of using a reasonable default (like
+ 0x644), if the 'perms' flag was set to 0. (Bug reported by
+ Ben Crowell.)
+ + Follow maxthreads preference when transferring directories.

- - use longer blocks for large files (the size of a block is the
- square root of the size of the file for large files);
- - transmit less checksum information per block (we still have less
- than one chance in a hundred million of transferring a file
- incorrectly, and Unison will catch any transfer error when
- fingerprinting the whole file)
- - avoid transfer overhead (which was 4 bytes per block)
- For a 1G file, the first optimization saves a factor 50 on the
- amount of data transferred from the target to the source (blocks
- are 32768 bytes rather than just 700 bytes). The two other
- optimizations save another factor of 2 (from 24 bytes per block
- down to 10).
-
-* New "links" preference. When set to false, Unison will report an
- error on symlinks during update detection. (This is the default
- when one host is running Windows but not Cygwin.) This is better
- than failing during propagation.
-* Added a preference "halfduplex" to force half-duplex communication
- with the server. This may be useful on unreliable links (as a more
- efficient alternative to "maxthreads = 1").
-* Renamed preference "pretendwin" to "ignoreinodenumbers" (an alias is
- kept for backwards compatibility).
-* GTK UI: display estimated remaining time and transfer rate on the
- progress bar
-* GTK UI: some polishing; in particular:
- - stop statistics window updates when idle (save power on laptops)
- - some ok and cancel buttons were in the wrong order
-
-* Added some support for making it easier to extend Unison without
- breaking backwards compatibility.
- - Possibility to mark a preference as local. Such a preference is
- propagated if possible but will not result in an error if it is
- not found server-side. This make it possible to add new
- functionalities client-side without breaking compatibility.
- - Added a function [Remove.commandAvailable] which tests whether a
- command is available on a given root.
-* Removed hack in findUpdates that would update the archive in a
- visible way for the sake of path translation: it is no longer
- needed.
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.36.-27
-
-* Performance improvement in Xferhint module.
- Update this cache more accurately during transport.
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.36.-27
-
-* Correction to previous fix: do not perform the optimization for
- directories with ignored children *in the archive*. (The previous
- fix was also rejecting directories with ignored children on disk,
- which is way too conservative.)
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.36.-27
-
-* Fixed small bug in new update detection optimization:
- do not perform the optimization for directories with ignored
- children in the archive. Indeed, we cannot rely on the archive in
- this case instead of reading the directory contents from the
- filesystem (systematically pruning the ignored children from the
- archive is too costly).
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.36.-27
-
-* Experimental update detection optimization:
- do not read the contents of unchanged directories
-* MyMap.map and MyMap.mapi now iterate in increasing order
- (rather than in an unspecified way)
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.36.-27
-
-* GTK UI: disabled scrolling to the first unfinished item during transport.
- It goes way too fast when lot of small files are synchronized, and it
- makes it impossible to browse the file list during transport.
-* Fixed computation of the amount of data to transfer: property updates
- should count for zero.
-* Mac GUI: use Unicode.protect to ensure that all string displayed are
- encoded in UTF-8.
-* In Unicode case-insensitive mode, use filenames in NFC normal form
- when tranferring files
-* Added a property list at the end of the archive file. This is a
- better way to extend the format than the hack currently used to
- store the case-sensitivity mode.
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.36.-27
-
-* When a file transfer fails, turn off fastcheck for this file on the
- next sync.
-* Limit the number of simultaneous transfer using rsync
- (as the rsync algorithm can use a large amount of memory when
- processing huge files)
-* Raise the number of concurrent threads, as there is not much reason
- to leave it low anymore.
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.36.-27
-
-* Clean-up in remote.ml
-* Dead-lock free flow control mechanism
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.36.-27
-
-* Fixed bug with case insensitive mode on a case sensitive filesystem:
- - if file "a/a" is created on one replica and directory "A" is
- created on the other, the file failed to be synchronized the first
- time Unison is run afterwards, as Unison uses the wrong path "a/a"
- (if Unison is run again, the directories are in the archive, so
- the right path is used);
- - if file "a" appears on one replica and file "A" appears on the
- other with a different contents, Unison was unable to synchronized
- them.
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.36.-27
-
-* Accurate computation of the amount of data to transfer
-* Accurate update of the amount of data transferred, including:
- - when transferring by copying on the remote host
- - when the file was already transferred to the remote host
- - in case of errors
-* Text UI: list partially transferred directories in transfer summary
- and use appropriate exit code (indicating that some files were skipped)
-* Improved error reporting when the destination is updated during
- synchronization: Unison now tells which file has been updated, and how.
-* Fix include directive failure when the line ends by CRLF
- (the CR was not removed)
-* Limit the length of temporary file names
-* Ignore errors when writing to the log file
-* Mac UI: some performance improvements
-* GTK UI: possibility to display errors in auxiliary detail window +
- other small changes
-* Save archive after update detection when there is no archive on disk yet
-* GTK UI: Made restart work also when roots are given from the command line
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.36.-27
-
-* Allow partial transfer of a directory when there was an error deep
- inside this directory during update detection. At the moment, this
- is only activated with the text and GTK UIs, which have been
- modified so that they show that the transfer is going to be partial
- and so that they can display all errors.
-* Changed types Common.replicaContent and Common.replicas to use
- records rather than tuples, as this is more readable and easier to
- extend.
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.36.-27
-
-* Bumped version number: incompatible protocol changes
-
-* Partial transfer of directories. If an error occurs while
- transferring a directory, the part transferred so far is copied into
- place (and the archives are updated accordingly).
- The "maxerrors" preference controls how many transfer error Unison
- will accept before stopping the transfer of a directory (by default,
- only one). This makes it possible to transfer most of a directory
- even if there are some errors. Currently, only the first error is
- reported by the GUIs.
-* Save a copy of a failed transfer only when the source file is
- unchanged.
-* Function Trace.log is not called anymore from Copy.tryCopyMovedFile
- as Trace.log performs a callback to the client inside a Lwt_unix.run
- event loop, which introduces spurious synchronization between
- threads. Instead, the function returns a message which is sent back
- to the client.
-* Code reorganization in files.ml/update.ml to minimize the number of
- network roundtrips.
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.35.-17
-
-* Various small changes
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.35.-17
-
-* Use a better file name for keeping a copy of an incorrectly
- transferred file. In particular, this is now a temp filename, and
- Unison will not try to propagate it next time it is run.
-* In function Stasher.backup, use Fspath.findWorkingDir to find the
- right file to rename or delete, possibly following symlinks.
-* Uigtk2: relabelled "Restart" button to "Rescan"
-* Uigtk2: performance improvements
-* Don't get the home directory from environment variable HOME under
- Windows (except for Cygwin binaries): we don't want the behavior of
- Unison to depends on whether it is run from a Cygwin shell (where
- HOME is set) or in any other way (where HOME is usually not set).
-* Unicode normalization: put characters in canonical order
-* Fixed recently introduced bug in Update.postCommitArchive
-* Uicommon: always reparse the command line when loading a profile
- (not just the first time)
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.35.-17
-
-* Properly deals with non-conformant AppleDouble files produced by Mac
- OS X; for compatibility, produce AppleDouble files with the same
- structure as the one produced by Mac OS X.
-* Fixed a bug that resulted in Unison missing ressource fork changes
-* Windows Unicode API: use hard links when available when commiting
- the archive to disk
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.35.-17
-
-* Fixed bug introduced during file transfer cleanup that could lead to
- uncaught exceptions
-* Simplified function validate in myMap.ml
-* Mac OS: do not check filler contents in Apple Double files
- (the spec says it should be all zeroes, but Mac OS sets it to
- "Mac OS X "...)
-* Use a hard link rather than a copy when possible for creating the
- MainArch-files in Update.postCommitArchive
-* Remove duplicate calls to Stasher.stashCurrentVersion in update.ml
- (as well as now unnecessary calls to Update.updateArchive in files.ml)
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.35.-17
-
-* Fixed bug resulting in slow performances when transferring a file
- using our rsync implementation from a 64-bit architecture to a
- 32-bit architecture.
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.35.-17
-
-* Bumped minor version: many incompatible protocol changes
-
-* Message lengths are checksummed to guard against protocol corruption
- (no more [Invalid_argument "String.create"])
-
-* Experimental streaming protocol for transferring file contents (can
- be disabled by setting the directive "stream" to false): file
- contents is transfered asynchronously (without waiting for a response
- from the destination after each chunk sent) rather than using the
- synchronous RPC mechanism. As a consequence:
- - Unison now transfers the contents of a single file at a time
- (Unison used to transfer several contents simultaneously in order
- to hide the connection latency.)
- - the transfer of large files uses the full available bandwidth
- and is not slowed done due to the connection latency anymore
- - we get performance improvement for small files as well by
- scheduling many files simultaneously (as scheduling a file for
- transfer consume little ressource: it does not mean allocating a
- large buffer anymore)
-
-* Improvement to the code for resuming directory transfers:
- - if a file was not correctly transferred (or the source has been
- modified since, with unchanged size), Unison performs a new
- transfer rather than failing
- - spurious files are deleted (this can happen if a file is deleted
- on the source replica before resuming the transfer; not deleting
- the file would result in it reappearing on the target replica)
-
-* More file transfer implementation cleanup. In particular, the
- "paranoid check" (checking whether the file has been correctly
- transferred) is moved to copy.ml. This way, one can avoid computing
- a file fingerprint twice when a file is already transferred, and
- when using the "transfer by copying" optimization.
- The check of the source file is also moved to copy.ml, so if the
- paranoid check fails, we can tell whether this is due to the source
- file being modified.
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.34.0
-
-* Improvement to the code for resuming directory transfers:
- - make sure file information (permissions, ...) has been properly set
- when using a previously transferred temp file
- - make sure previously transferred directories are writable
-* Some cleanup in file transfer implementation
-* Got rid of all occurrences of "try ... with _ -> ..."
-* Removed ctime field from Fileinfo.t
-* Fixed bug in Lwt_unix.run which could make it fail with a Not_found
- exception
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.34.0
-
-* Fix to the Mac GUI: the bigarray library is now required
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.34.0
-
-* Case sensitivity information put in the archive (in a backward
- compatible way) and checked when the archive is loaded
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.34.0
-
-* Fixed quotation of paths and names when writing to a preference file
-* Workaround for bug in new "select" implementation in Ocaml 3.11
- (select fails with EPIPE error when monitoring a remotely closed
- file descriptor)
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.34.0
-
-* Windows Unicode API: when a file cannot be renamed due to a sharing
- violation error or an access denied error, retry for up to 1 second,
- in case the file is temporarily opened by an indexer or an anti-virus.
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.34.0
-
-* Text UI: during update detection, display status by updating a
- single line rather than generating a new line of output every so
- often. That should be less confusing.
-* Text UI: in repeat mode, don't save the archives when there is no
- update. Indeed, in this mode, we should minimize the amount of work
- performed and it is unlikely that the archives have changed much.
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.34.0
-
-* Got rid of the 16MiB marshalling limit by marshalling to a bigarray
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.34.0
-
-* Use system dependant API for spawning processes.
- (Unicode API under Windows.)
-* Fixed the bug with ssh not working when running unison from a cygwin
- shell.
-* Move [protect] function (which converts a string to UTF-8 by keeping
- all UTF-8 characters unchanged and considering all other characters
- as ISO 8859-1 characters) from uigtk2.ml to unicode.ml, as it may be
- useful for the other UIs.
-

- synchronization
-* Improved error message when trying to synchronize a symlink to a
- Windows machine
-* Fixed compilation warnings in lwt_unix.ml and pty.c
-* Added some missing convertUnixErrorsToTransient

-
-
-
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.33.2
-
-* Added an abstraction layer over Unix/Sys modules in order to be able
- to redefine all system calls involving filenames
-* Implemented corresponding bindings for the Windows Unicode API
- (not activated by default yet)
-* Uses improved emulation of "select" call provided by Ocaml 3.11
- under Windows (the GUI should not freeze as much during synchronization)
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.33.2
-
-* Fixed predicate matching in Unicode case-insensitive mode
-
--------------------------------
-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.33.2
-
-* Improved error messages when rejecting non-unicode encoded file names
-* uigtk2: fixed the code for transcoding from Windows Codepage 1252 to

-CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.33.-4
-
-* Updated list of bad Windows file names following the MSDN
- documentation (in particular, files with trailing dots are now
- rejected when synchronizing with a Windows machine)
-* Experimental Unicode-aware case insensitive mode. It is activated
- when the preference "unicode" is set to true and Unison is in
- case-insensitive mode.
-* Bumped version number to reflect the newly added preference

\n\
+ \032 Changes since 2.32:\n\
+ \032 * Major enhancement: Unicode support.\n\
+ \032 + Unison should now handle unicode filenames correctly on all\n\
+ \032 platforms.\n\
+ \032 + This functionality is controlled by a new preference unicode.\n\
+ \032 + Unicode mode is now the default when one of the hosts is\n\
+ \032 under Windows or MacOS. This may make upgrades a bit more\n\
+ \032 painful (the archives cannot be reused), but this is a much\n\
+ \032 saner default.\n\
+ \032 * Partial transfer of directories. If an error occurs while\n\
+ \032 transferring a directory, the part transferred so far is copied\n\
+ \032 into place (and the archives are updated accordingly). The\n\
+ \032 \"maxerrors\" preference controls how many transfer error Unison\n\
+ \032 will accept before stopping the transfer of a directory (by\n\
+ \032 default, only one). This makes it possible to transfer most of a\n\
+ \032 directory even if there are some errors. Currently, only the first\n\
+ \032 error is reported by the GUIs.\n\
+ \032 Also, allow partial transfer of a directory when there was an\n\
+ \032 error deep inside this directory during update detection. At the\n\
+ \032 moment, this is only activated with the text and GTK UIs, which\n\
+ \032 have been modified so that they show that the transfer is going to\n\
+ \032 be partial and so that they can display all errors.\n\
+ \032 * Improvement to the code for resuming directory transfers:\n\
+ \032 + if a file was not correctly transferred (or the source has\n\
+ \032 been modified since, with unchanged size), Unison performs a\n\
+ \032 new transfer rather than failing\n\
+ \032 + spurious files are deleted (this can happen if a file is\n\
+ \032 deleted on the source replica before resuming the transfer;\n\
+ \032 not deleting the file would result in it reappearing on the\n\
+ \032 target replica)\n\
+ \032 * Experimental streaming protocol for transferring file contents\n\
+ \032 (can be disabled by setting the directive \"stream\" to false): file\n\
+ \032 contents is transfered asynchronously (without waiting for a\n\
+ \032 response from the destination after each chunk sent) rather than\n\
+ \032 using the synchronous RPC mechanism. As a consequence:\n\
+ \032 + Unison now transfers the contents of a single file at a time\n\
+ \032 (Unison used to transfer several contents simultaneously in\n\
+ \032 order to hide the connection latency.)\n\
+ \032 + the transfer of large files uses the full available bandwidth\n\
+ \032 and is not slowed done due to the connection latency anymore\n\
+ \032 + we get performance improvement for small files as well by\n\
+ \032 scheduling many files simultaneously (as scheduling a file\n\
+ \032 for transfer consume little ressource: it does not mean\n\
+ \032 allocating a large buffer anymore)\n\
+ \032 * Changes to the internal implementation of the rsync algorithm:\n\
+ \032 + use longer blocks for large files (the size of a block is the\n\
+ \032 square root of the size of the file for large files);\n\
+ \032 + transmit less checksum information per block (we still have\n\
+ \032 less than one chance in a hundred million of transferring a\n\
+ \032 file incorrectly, and Unison will catch any transfer error\n\
+ \032 when fingerprinting the whole file)\n\
+ \032 + avoid transfer overhead (which was 4 bytes per block)\n\
+ \032 For a 1G file, the first optimization saves a factor 50 on the\n\
+ \032 amount of data transferred from the target to the source (blocks\n\
+ \032 are 32768 bytes rather than just 700 bytes). The two other\n\
+ \032 optimizations save another factor of 2 (from 24 bytes per block\n\
+ \032 down to 10).\n\
+ \032 * Implemented an on-disk file fingerprint cache to speed-up update\n\
+ \032 detection after a crash: this way, Unison does not have do\n\
+ \032 recompute all the file fingerprints from scratch.\n\
+ \032 + When Unison detects that the archive case-sensitivity mode\n\
+ \032 does not match the current settings, it populates the\n\
+ \032 fingerprint cache using the archive contents. This way,\n\
+ \032 changing the case-sensitivity mode should be reasonably fast.\n\
+ \032 * Resume copy of partially transferred files.\n\
+ \032 * New preferences \"noupdate=root\", \"nodeletion=root\",\n\
+ \032 \"nocreation=root\" that prevent Unison from performing files\n\
+ \032 updates, deletions or creations on the given root. Also 'partial'\n\
+ \032 versions of 'noupdate', 'nodeletion' and 'nocreation'\n\
+ \032 * Limit the number of simultaneous external copy program (\"copymax\"\n\
+ \032 preference)\n\
+ \032 * New \"links\" preference. When set to false, Unison will report an\n\
+ \032 error on symlinks during update detection. (This is the default\n\
+ \032 when one host is running Windows but not Cygwin.) This is better\n\
+ \032 than failing during propagation.\n\
+ \032 * Added a preference \"halfduplex\" to force half-duplex communication\n\
+ \032 with the server. This may be useful on unreliable links (as a more\n\
+ \032 efficient alternative to \"maxthreads = 1\").\n\
+ \032 * Renamed preference \"pretendwin\" to \"ignoreinodenumbers\" (an alias\n\
+ \032 is kept for backwards compatibility).\n\
+ \032 * Ignore one-second differences when synchronizing modification\n\
+ \032 time. (Technically, this is an incompatible archive format change,\n\
+ \032 but it is backward compatible. To trigger a problem, a user would\n\
+ \032 have to synchronize modification times on a filesystem with a\n\
+ \032 two-second granularity and then downgrade to a previous version of\n\
+ \032 Unison, which does not work well in such a case. Thus, it does not\n\
+ \032 seem worthwhile to increment the archive format number, which\n\
+ \032 would impact all users.)\n\
+ \032 * Do not keep many files simultaneously opened anymore when the\n\
+ \032 rsync algorithm is in use.\n\
+ \032 * Add \"ignorearchives\" preference to ignore existing archives (to\n\
+ \032 avoid forcing users to delete them manually, in situations where\n\
+ \032 one archive has gotten deleted or corrupted).\n\
+ \032 * Mac OS\n\
+ \032 + fixed rsync bug which could result in an \"index out of\n\
+ \032 bounds\" error when transferring resource forks.\n\
+ \032 + Fixed bug which made Unison ignore finder information and\n\
+ \032 resource fork when compiled to 64bit on Mac OSX.\n\

+ \032 during update detection\n\
+ \032 + Apply patch to fix some crashes in the OSX GUI, thanks to\n\
+ \032 Onne Gorter.\n\
+ \032 * Text UI\n\
+ \032 + During update detection, display status by updating a single\n\
+ \032 line rather than generating a new line of output every so\n\
+ \032 often. Should be less confusing.\n\
+ \032 * Windows\n\
+ \032 + Fastcheck is now the default under Windows. People mostly use\n\
+ \032 NTFS nowadays and the Unicode API provides an equivalent to\n\
+ \032 inode numbers for this filesystem.\n\
+ \032 + Only use long UNC path for accessing replicas (as '..' is not\n\
+ \032 handled with this format of paths, but can be useful)\n\
+ \032 + Windows text UI: now put the console into UTF-8 output mode.\n\
+ \032 This is the right thing to do when in Unicode mode, and is no\n\
+ \032 worse than what we had previously otherwise (the console use\n\
+ \032 some esoteric encoding by default). This only works when\n\
+ \032 using a Unicode font instead of the default raster font.\n\
+ \032 + Don't get the home directory from environment variable HOME\n\
+ \032 under Windows (except for Cygwin binaries): we don't want the\n\
+ \032 behavior of Unison to depends on whether it is run from a\n\
+ \032 Cygwin shell (where HOME is set) or in any other way (where\n\
+ \032 HOME is usually not set).\n\
+ \032 * Miscellaneous fixes and improvements\n\
+ \032 + Made a server waiting on a socket more resilient to\n\
+ \032 unexpected lost connections from the client.\n\
+ \032 + Small patch to property setting code suggested by Ulrich\n\
+ \032 Gernkow.\n\
+ \032 + Several fixes to the change transfer functions (both the\n\
+ \032 internal ones and external transfers using rsync). In\n\
+ \032 particular, limit the number of simultaneous transfer using\n\
+ \032 an rsync (as the rsync algorithm can use a large amount of\n\
+ \032 memory when processing huge files)\n\
+ \032 + Keep track of which file contents are being transferred, and\n\
+ \032 delay the transfer of a file when another file with the same\n\
+ \032 contents is currently being transferred. This way, the second\n\
+ \032 transfer can be skipped and replaced by a local copy.\n\
+ \032 + Experimental update detection optimization: do not read the\n\
+ \032 contents of unchanged directories\n\
+ \032 + When a file transfer fails, turn off fastcheck for this file\n\
+ \032 on the next sync.\n\
+ \032 + Fixed bug with case insensitive mode on a case sensitive\n\
+ \032 filesystem:\n\
+ \032 o if file \"a/a\" is created on one replica and directory\n\
+ \032 \"A\" is created on the other, the file failed to be\n\
+ \032 synchronized the first time Unison is run afterwards, as\n\
+ \032 Unison uses the wrong path \"a/a\" (if Unison is run\n\
+ \032 again, the directories are in the archive, so the right\n\
+ \032 path is used);\n\
+ \032 o if file \"a\" appears on one replica and file \"A\" appears\n\
+ \032 on the other with different contents, Unison was unable\n\
+ \032 to synchronize them.\n\
+ \032 + Improved error reporting when the destination is updated\n\
+ \032 during synchronization: Unison now tells which file has been\n\
+ \032 updated, and how.\n\
+ \032 + Limit the length of temporary file names\n\
+ \032 + Case sensitivity information put in the archive (in a\n\
