Today I like to announce the release of PowerFolder Pro Client version 4.1.1. There is not much to say about it: We added several improvements as well as many bugfixes.

Download PowerFolder Pro 4.1.1

The changes in detail:

Improvements

• Folder action buttons (such as sync, browse files or invite/send files) now appear when hovering over folders with the mouse.
• Improved HTTP tunneled connections.
• Several other improvements.

Bugfixes

• Read only folders such as DVDs, network drives or write protected USB sticks now correctly appear in PowerFolder.
•  Fixed bug in instant file detection that caused directories rarely turn into 0 byte files.
•  Fixed server change problem when UI was locked.
•  Several other bugfixes.

I recommend to enabled the recently introduced instant file detection. It drastically reduces I/O and CPU load as PowerFolder does not longer need to scan the full file tree for changes while syncing.

Feedback is welcome.

Have a great start into 2010!

Best regards,

Your PowerFolder Team

Good day and Merry Christmas!

Today we are proud to present a vastly improved PoweFolder coming its way with nice new features and important bugfixes. A big thanks goes out to all users for their feedback on version 4. The new release hopefully solves all main issues that came up.

PowerFolder will automatically update itself after your next start. For those who can't wait - here is it:

Download PowerFolder 4.1.0

Here are the release notes:

New features

• Instant file change detection for zero-delay syncing. Files now get instantly synchronized after they have been updated, created or deleted. This new feature also drastically reduces CPU load and hard drive activity when running PowerFolder. Feature must be manually enabled under Preferences/Advanced.
• File archive bulk restore: PowerFolder now supports to restore multiple files at once. Restore the latest version or select the version by date/time.

Improvements

• Completely reworked synchronization progress display. Now sync dates and activity info is much more accurate.
• Completely reworked system service: Status under Preferences/Pro Settings is now kept identical to the installation status of the service. Warning about a running instance when starting the user interface won't longer appear unless there is a problem actually. System service always automatically starts after closing the user interface when enabled.
• Many performance improvements. PowerFolder should now use less CPU.
• Added completed date to up and downloads list.
• Folders can now be removed/de-configured by script.
• Manual sync button now triggers instant sync even if folder is setup to scheduled sync.
• Slightly reduced CPU load while scanning for changes.
• File archive details now indicates the availability (local or online).
• Online storage usage bar now shows the correct total value (online data + online archive)

Bugfixes 

• Fixed bug that causes synchronization to stop on mix-case named directories that had been manually copied/created before using PowerFolder.
• Fixed never ending synchronization display problem.
• Fixed re-appearing empty directories after they have been deleted.
• Corrected stuck synchronization in LAN only mode.
• Invitations directly sent to computers not longer get lost.
• Fixed mass deletion detection. Sometimes did trigger without any harmful deletion.
• Fixed timeout when connection takes more that 20 minutes to get established.
• Sync percentages now get recalculated when changing the list of ignored files.
• Many more minor bugfixes.

Full release notes.

Best regards and have a nice day,

You PowerFolder Team.

Good morning,

we are currently upgrading our datacenter. Many new users joined our service since release of PowerFolder 4.0. This made the upgrade necessary. Some users may encounter login problems and/or a disconnected online backup service. We'll try to keep the downtime as short as possible.

Planned maintenance time: 03:00 am till 04:00 pm CET on 17-Nov-2009.

We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Best regards,

Your PowerFolder Team

Release notes.

We also released a new OPEN SOURCE version of PowerFolder (Basic)!

You can download it at sourceforge.net,

but we recommend to download the free PowerFolder Pro version

from our website.

Only the Pro version encrypts all traffic between computers.

The open source version lacks this important feature.

Best regards,

Your PowerFolder team

Important note for 3.X users

If you upgrade from a existing PowerFolder version keep in mind, that folders are now visible globally for each account. This means all computers using the same account will see all folders.
