Version 1.68
* HOT FIX: a subtle change in Dropbox backend last night causes Dropsync to stop working completely. The app even deletes local files because it thinks they are gone in Dropbox. Those files will be re-downloaded to the device after updating the app to this version.
Version 1.67
* [PRO] Fixed: sometimes the app does not allow pro users to select Dropbox root folder to sync
Version 1.66
* Fixed: sync aborts prematurely when hitting files in Dropbox which contain invalid chars in names
Version 1.65
* Fixed: UI freeze when user authenticates the app with Dropbox server over slow network
Version 1.64
* Fixed mysterious NPE FC bug in Dropbox SDK code which happens on some old Android versions
Version 1.63
* Updated the app to use new Dropbox API
* OAuth is used to link the app to Dropbox account. Users use Dropbox official client or Dropbox website
to grant access to Dropsync. The app never sees user password.
Version 1.62
* Some music players trigger false file change events. If Instant Upload is enabled, MP3 files are uploaded as they are played. Not fun. FIXED.
Version 1.61
* Discovered one more case when file timestamps on memory card shift around without any real change in file contents. This could lead to unnecessary upload. The app is now able to detect this situation and work around it.
Version 1.60
* Fixed: the same changes could be reported multiple times in notifications. This leads users to believe that
the app uploads or downloads the same files repeatedly which is not true.
Version 1.59
* Fixed pretty bad regression caused by previous update, new local subfolders cause the whole sync to fail :-(
Version 1.58
* Fixed another case when device timezone change causes unnecessary upload
* Made the app more tolerant to Dropbox server errors. Instead of aborting the whole sync operation
we skip the problematic file and continue with the next file in the list
* Workaround a crash bug in Usb.apk on Droid Bionic
Version 1.57
* Removed limitation on Autosync Interval in free version. Now anyone, not only Pro users,
can autosync as frequently as they wish.
* Tasker/Locale plugin: Sync Now, Enable Autosync, Disable Autosync. Power users can use Tasker/Locale
to define sophisticated sync schedule
* Some bug fixes
Version 1.56
* Looks like Instant Upload has reached release quality, removed the (BETA) label in the UI
* Various cosmetic fixes
Version 1.55
* Optimized the code which parses responses from Dropbox server. The apk size increased a bit but it's
worth it. Sync is quite faster when there is no change to upload/download. We are still several times
smaller than competitions :-)
Version 1.54
* Added "Sync Now" home screen shortcut which allows users to quickly trigger manual sync
* Optimized retry sync logics. This should noticeably improve speed and robustness of syncing large folders
which usually requires many retry cycles over bad network
* Fixed: OutOfMem FC bug when a Dropbox folder contains a huge number of files
* Fixed: local changes are not detected and not uploaded instantly if those changes happen when Instant
Upload is already in progress
Version 1.53
* A few small bug fixes
Version 1.52
* Fixed a random NPE FC when playing with Instant Upload settings
Version 1.51
* Fixed: instant upload should skip disabled sync folders
* Fixed: ANR freeze could also happen when one turns on then off instant upload in quick succession
Version 1.50
* Fixed a freeze bug (ANR) and subsequent FC when there is a large number of subfolders and instant upload is enabled
Version 1.49
* Some small performance and robustness improvements
* [PRO] Instant Upload: if enabled the app will monitor local folders. When new files are added or
already synced files are modified they will be uploaded to Dropbox right away provided power/network
conditions allow autosync at that moment. Currently beta quality, use with caution and report problems
to the app developer.
Version 1.48
* Fixed a rare NPE when setting up new synced folder pair
* Allow autosync at low battery level 20%, 10%. Use with caution
* Retry interval can be as low as 2 minutes after failure
* Tried to fixed weird FC on Lenovo tablet
Version 1.47
* NPE is thrown if a local folder is not readable/writable by Dropsync. Such a folder should be skipped.
* Use WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF on devices which support this new mode
Version 1.46
* Can sync any writable folder in the device. This is needed for tablets which support both internal and external SD cards.
* Can sync the whole SD card
* Force media scan after sync. Gallery, photo/video, music players are notified to update their cache
* [PRO] More options for upload file size limit
* Recover from various Dropbox error conditions, better to skip the problematic files than to abort the whole sync operation
* Skip downloading files with invalid characters in names (file/folder names containing \ / : ? * < > |, folder names ending at .)
They cannot be created on local SD card. In the future we will try to translate remote names to safe local names.
Version 1.45
* Fixed: FAT file timestamp is stored in localtime. Timezone change makes files on SD card look as if they were modified locally and causes unnecessary re-upload. This bug is especially painful during vacation season when users often travel to remote places which have different timezones than their home country.
Version 1.44
* Fixed: (this bug affects only free version) Max upload file size limit is reset to 3MB when phone reboots or app restarts even though the user has set it to higher value, for example 5MB
Version 1.43
* Fixed: forgot to remove some debug code when we released 1.42. It's gone now.
Version 1.42
* Fixed: empty remote folder on Dropbox is not synced down to the phone
* Don't use dir hash in Dropbox API anymore, it does not work reliably
* Recover from SQLite db corruption, the next sync cycle after failed one caused by SD card
disk I/O error should be OK
Version 1.41
* Fixed: autosync doesn't work over 4G/WiMax
* Fixed: after app install and first time setup user must sync manually at least once, otherwise
autosync scheduler doesn't work
Version 1.40
* Added options to hide notifications, default is show
* Made the code more robust in dealing with error conditions
* Some small UI changes
* Increased allowed max upload file size in free version to 5 MB. This should be enough to sync photos taken by those
new shiny 8MP phone cameras, in case their owners still don't want to buy PRO yet
Version 1.39
* Fixed: FC on some devices under low memory condition
* Fixed: should handle invalid filenames gracefully
Version 1.38
* [PRO] Allow sync overlapping folders. This would mean a folder on the other side could be synced to multiple
places on this side. Normally this is not desired but some power users asked for this feature.
* Fixed mysterious FC on some strange devices
Version 1.37
* [PRO] Fixed: NPE at the end of sync cycle if user syncs the whole Dropbox. No harm was made to user data and sync works correctly but sync status displayed in UI is wrong
Version 1.36
* Fixed: changelog could be shown repeatedly after upgrade
* [PRO] Users can sync the whole Dropbox with a folder on SD card. Exactly like the official Dropbox desktop client.
First remove all existing synced folders then add only one local folder and link it with Dropbox root.
Version 1.35
* Bugfix: Non-latin (Japanese, Chinese, etc) filenames are now handled correctly
* Some small UI enhancements
* Internal code refactorings, getting ready for new features in next version
