Release Notes 2010-08-19 Affoltern

The main new features in Affoltern are Sync and a UI-Overhaul


- Sync
You can now synchronize local folders with Wuala. The same wuala sync folder 
can be synchronized to local folders on many computers. All changes a user 
makes in these local folders or even in wuala are replicated to wuala and all 
other local folders connected to the same wuala folder

- Removed Tabs
We have integrated the tabs accross the top (myfiles, etc.) into the well known 
folder tree view. We have introduced two new top level elements for Backups 
and Sync Folders.


- Visual Refresh
We have a whole new set of Icons and colors. Backup and Sync are shown as 
annotations on folders. Sharing status is still shown with the colors 
yellow/blue/red. In the thumbnail view, we additionally show an icon on the 
folder when it is shared or public

- Folder Thumbs Are Gone
By default, we now longer show thumbnails on folders. You can turn them back 
on in the advanced preferences.


- No More World Tab
We have removed the world tab. There is a new dialog that allows to find 
groups. For finding public files, we recommend using the web search engine 
of your choice. We have taken measures to ensure that public files are 
indexed freqently.


- 64bit Support for Mac
We can now run in both 32-bit and 64bit Java virtul machines on Mac OSX.


- Removed FSI Delay
We now longer delay changes made on the wuala drive. This should improve the 
stability of the FSI and reduce dataloss in case of crashes. The FSI now uses 
a breaking mechanism to prevent changes from piling up when network 
connectivity is bad.
