  1. Latest Desktop Build 1.4.83

    @onesolo

    This issue is not solved yet, sorry.

     

    @GusBricker

    Yes, there were a lot of "real fixes". For example, crashes are related to Sync core directly.

     

    @wutizurkwest

    Please note that Sync is in beta stage of development. Various bugs are still possible, though team does it best to address the most critical in prompt manner.

    Issue confirmed, we'll fix it. Thanks for reporting.

     

    @roza

    It simply does not listen the external interface anymore, only loopback. You need explicitly order sync to listen external interface, please see this article for details.

    Would be great if you detailed the fixes. I never really experienced crashing, just Sync being dumb and deleting files it shouldn't.

  2. Latest Desktop Build 1.4.83

    Just upgraded from 1.4.75 to 1.4.83 on Windows 8.1 64-bit, fully updated.  GUI is now just a blank gray box.

     

    I've been using BTSync for about a year and a half, on almost every platform you support...Android, IOS, Linux, Windows...and things worked acceptably well up through 1.3.109, but the slew of problems I've had with 1.4 is making me nervous that I might lose important data.  Your developers clearly aren't doing enough testing prior to release, and the problems I've had indicate this is equally true for the syncing code as the GUI. A bug that accidentally wipes out some part of the 5 TB of data I'm Sync'ing seems increasingly likely, and that is an unacceptable risk.

     

     

    Seriously, open source Sync so the community can help you fix the bugs!  Or you will lose myself and I imagine a large portion of your users when an open source alternative arrives.

    I agree 100% and I would seriously suggest you check your important files. I found that Sync was merging versions of files that I was working on one machine incorrectly and just deleting files I hadn't touched. Really worrying so I stopped using it at that point and just decided I would watch the forum and wait for it to stabilise.

    Sync to date has never been released as a "stable" version - all previous versions (Sync 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc) have been "beta" builds.

     

    tuxpoldo's 1.4 builds will be ready when they're ready... I'm sure he will update you all in due course when they are.

    I think it needs to be a lot more obvious that Sync is still in a beta state. I originally thought it wasn't then finally after the 4th time checking the download page did i see the word Beta. It needs to be a-lot more obvious so people understand that maybe they shouldn't trust this program with their important files...
