ByteSync version 2025.1.5 – January 9, 2026
Improvements
- Inventory now consistently scans the selected root path even when Hidden/System filters are active, while maintaining filtering for child items.
ByteSync version 2025.1.4 – January 6, 2026
Fixes
- Minor fixes.
ByteSync version 2025.1.2 – January 5, 2026
New Features
- Synchronization Confirmation Dialog: A confirmation popup now appears before starting synchronization, displaying a detailed summary of pending actions including file counts per destination (create, sync, update, delete) and total data volume. Users can review and confirm before proceeding.
- Protocol Version Validation: Clients with incompatible protocol versions can no longer join the same session together. This prevents inventory metadata incompatibility issues and provides clear error messages when version mismatches are detected.
- Post-Sync Rating Prompt: After successful synchronizations, users may be prompted to rate their experience. The prompt includes opt-out options and links to various feedback channels.
- Advanced Filtering Syntax: New has: filtering operators allow searching for items with specific conditions:
- has:access-issue – items with accessibility problems
- has:computation-error – items with analysis errors
- has:sync-error – items with synchronization errors
- The actions filter has been migrated to has:actions syntax for consistency.
- Inaccessible Item Handling: The inventory process now continues scanning when encountering access errors (e.g., protected system folders, permission issues). Inaccessible files and directories are clearly marked in the UI with warning icons and tooltips, and synchronization actions to/from inaccessible locations are automatically blocked.
Improvements
- Identification errors (inaccessible files/directories) are now tracked and displayed in inventory statistics with dedicated badges.
- Targeted action logging now includes detailed validation outcomes with item-specific information.
- Source validation now distinguishes between “Source Missing” and “Source Has Multiple Identities” with localized messages.
Fixes
- Incomplete inventories in Flat mode are now properly surfaced in signatures and headers, with actions correctly blocked when inventory parts are incomplete.
- Tree mode now allows actions when only some parts are incomplete, relying on actual item accessibility rather than blanket blocking.
- Inaccessible directories are now correctly reported in the comparison results UI, matching the existing behavior for files.
- Status badge width has been restored to match original rendering while maintaining proportional sizing.
