mswatch / News: Recent posts

This a feature release, 1.2.0. mswatch is a command line unix program that keeps two mailboxes synchronized more efficiently and with shorter delays than periodically synchronizing the two mailboxes.

Changes:
- Add socketwatch program, to make mail synchronization more robust against hangs (see mswatchrc.sample for use)
- Add optional occasional mailbox polling ("poll_period" in .mswatchrc), to make mail synchronization more robust against silent aborts
- Add option to ignore changes to select mailboxes ("ignore" in .mswatchrc), to reduce overheads for rarely-checked, high-volume mailing lists
- Update license to version 2, only, of the GNU GPL... read more

This a feature release, 1.1.0. mswatch is a command line unix program that keeps two mailboxes synchronized more efficiently and with shorter delays than periodically synchronizing the two mailboxes.

Changes:
- Add per-mailbox inter-sync delays
(to rarely sync high volume mailboxes and quickly sync important mailboxes)
- Allow inter-sync delays to be greater than the max error delay
- mswatch now prints the names of pending mailboxes upon receiving SIGUSR1... read more

This a feature and bugfix release, 1.0.3. mswatch is a command line unix program that keeps two mailboxes synchronized more efficiently and with shorter delays than periodically synchronizing the two mailboxes.

Changes:
- watch_maildirs can watch Maildirs through symlinks
(but symlink modifications are not detected, yet)
- mswatch requests line buffering for stdout, to make mswatch output updates
through loggers appear more frequently
- mswatch detects and errors when there is only one store configured
- improved mswatch store configuration error messages
- documented watch_maildirs's expected Maildir layout... read more

This is a bugfix release, 1.0.2. mswatch is a command line unix program that keeps two mailboxes synchronized more efficiently and with shorter delays than periodically synchronizing the two mailboxes.

watch_maildirs correction for file system usage that precluded working with some file systems (eg XFS), documented that 1.0.1 added dovecot-style Maildir support, and added an IMAP INBOX folder name collision error message.... read more

This is a bugfix release, 1.0.1. mswatch is a command line unix program that keeps two mailboxes synchronized more efficiently and with shorter delays than periodically synchronizing the two mailboxes.

This release correctly handles mswatchrc sync entries that are longer than one argument and documents inputkill's "--" argument in the inputkill manpage.
