Still on 1.3.109, mainly because of the reports of bugs in the first 1.4.x versions. I'll upgrade eventually. I'm on Linux, so I got the new UI early ... I still haven't warmed to it. It was much easier to find things in the older UI. I still haven't figured out how to view what files are syncing or are unsynced. I've been waiting until 1.4 showed up on auto-update, because I assume that to be a sign of stability ... seeing that 1.4.92 just came out, I'm thinking of it. The other big thing I'm waiting for is a more elegant handling of xattrs ... sync between OS X and linux systems is broken without hacking xattrs into .SyncIgnore, and I don't want to have to mess with that again until it's fixed for good.

Can anyone elaborate on "Fixed continual indexing issue in certain cases" Does this fix the issue of endlessly trying to sync xattrs between Linux and OS X? Can I revert the exceptions in .SyncIgnore?

@markswift: I spent most of last week figuring this out. It turns out you need to add the streams to .SyncIgnore on the LINUX machines, not just the source Mac. Specifically, adding: *com.apple.FinderInfo *com.apple.ResourceFork to the .SyncIgnore on every system is what fixed it. Oh, and you need to restart BTSync on every system as well. @BTSync team: At the very least, this issue needs an entry in the FAQ. I get that xattrs need to be synced, but the current implementation completely breaks Mac<->Linux syncing, with no explanation for why it doesn't work. I don't see why the functionality can't be selectively disabled on the Linux client until it's working properly; it literally just needs to add the appropriate lines to .SyncIgnore in the same way that .thumbs.db is added. In my judgment, that seems like a bigger bug than the one you are fixing. No sync at all is worse than incomplete sync for certain specific apps.
