osync/CHANGELOG.md

SHORT FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS (post v1.0)

• Sync and delete propagation function merge (master and slave functions are the same, reduces code size and maintain effort)
• Tree function merge (current and after tree functions are the same except for output filename and logging, reduces code size and maintain effort)
• Tree functions execute piped commands (grep, awk) on master when launched on remote slave which can cause more bandwith usage
• Daemonize osync --on-changes mode

FAR FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS

• 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

• None yet, need more testing on MSYS environment and MacOS X
