Release-4.0.0

Release 4.0.0 of ELS adds the ELS Navigator desktop application and a variety of related enhancements and changes.

The Navigator is purpose-built to make building and on-going maintenance of collections of all types of data across multiple storage devices easier. Originally built for home media collections ELS 4.0 adds a new dimension to library-based, multi-device, cross-platform file management.

Using the built-in capabilities of ELS the Navigator provides a visual tool for curating a collection either locally or remotely. Tools and Jobs are provided to make performing repetitive tasks easier. And the original back-up tool is built-in of course.

Release-3.1.0

Release 3.1.0 of ELS adds the Hint Status Tracker and a new mode - the Hint Status Server (HSS). The Tracker coordinates hint completion status locally. The Server tracks hint completion status for remote operations. These are needed when two or more back-ups are being used with hints.

A few bugs were fixed and command-line options added. Note the -h option has been repurposed.

See the Release Notes for details.

Release-3.0.0

Re-release of version 3.0.0 due to a missing Jar. Version 3.0.0 adds ELS Hints. A mechanism to coordinate manual changes to a media collection with one or more back-ups.

See Version Changes in the wiki for more details about the enhancements and bugs fixes.,

Version-2.2.0

Version 2.2.0 with fixes for #11, #14, #15.
Back-fill and available space handling work locally and remotely.

Also repaired regular expression handling for ignore_patterns.
See the examples in /artifacts/complete/meta/.

Version-2.1.2

Rewrote the client-side SFTP to use Jsch instead of Apache Mina to resolve the remote transfer speed issue. Transfers now operate at speeds comparable to Filezilla. Adjusted logging to show the IP addresses used by the subscriber listener to make connection problems easier to diagnose. Updated and refined the documentation on the wiki that is also in the ELS Complete distribution file.

Version-2.1.1

Significant performance enhancements in item look-ups; added logging "Process completed normally" on success to allow outside automation to detect failures.

Version-2.1.0

Fixed remote file handling. Removed size comparisons, now only size differences are reported as a warning. Added --duplicates and --rename actions and --no-back-fill option. Changed the What's New option letter from -n | -N to -w | -W to allow for -n | --rename. Documentation changes and matching wiki pages updated.

Version-2.0.3

Added a -o | --overwrite option that causes an overwrite instead of a resuming remote transfer. That can happen if the source file is larger than the destination file where the assumption is made that the connection(s) were lost. So by default ELS will resume that remote transfer. This new option provides the choice of how that situation will be handled. Local operations, where ELS is run stand-alone, always perform overwrites of any existing file on the destination.

Version-2.0.2

This release is the complete ELS that operates in stand-alone or client/server over a LAN or the Internet. Some Linux and Windows script changes have been made for consistency. Documentation added to distribution ELS-complete.zip.
