SHORT FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
-------------------------
- Tree functions execute piped commands (grep, awk) on local system when launched on remote slave which can cause more bandwith usage
FAR FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
-----------------------
- MultiMaster support
- Rethink of .osync_workdir/state/* files with PIDs, Host and Task Names to better identify multiple instances on the same fileset
- Improve Master / Slave schema to Multimaster schema
- State files should exist per replica for Multimaster schema
KNOWN ISSUES
------------
- Still need more testing on BSD, MacOSX and Windows MSYS
UNDER WORK
----------
!- Better deletion propagation (again). Using rsync for deletion propagation is definitly not working in all cases (especially empty sub directories)
RECENT CHANGES
--------------
- Added a simple init script working for RHEL / CentOS and an install script
- Fixed an issue with MacOSX using rsync -E differently than other *nix (Thanks to Pierre Clement)
- Multislave asynchronous task support (Thanks to Ulrich Norbisrath)
- This breaks compat with elder osync runs. Add the SYNC_ID suffix to elder state files to keep deleted file information.
- Added an easier debug setting i.e DEBUG=yes ./osync.sh (Again, thanks to Ulrich Norbisrath)
- Added hardlink preservation (Thanks to Ulrich Norbisrath)
- Added external exclusion file support (Thanks to Pierre Clement)

- Added a simple RHEL / CentOS compatible init script

- Sync execution don't fails anymore if files vanish during execution, also vanished files get logged

- Improved forced quit command by killing all child processes
- Before / after commands are now ignored on dryruns
- Improved verbose output
- Fixed various typos
- Enforced CheckConnectivityRemoteHost and CheckConnectivity3rdPartyHosts checks (if one of these fails, osync is stopped)
- 18 Aug. 2013: Osync 0.99 RC1
- Added possibility to change default logfile
- Fixed a possible error upon master replica lock check
- Fixed exclude directorires with spaces in names generate errros on master replica tree functions
- Dryruns won't create after run tree lists and therefore not prevent building real run delete lists
- Softdelete and conflict backup functions are now time controlled
- Added bandwidth limit
- Update and delete functions now run rsync with --stats parameter
