Today we opened the public beta of Spanning Sync v1.2, which includes a largely-rewritten sync engine that's dramatically faster, plus a number of other fixes and enhancements.
If you're willing to help us test it and don't mind running into some bugs, please download Spanning Sync v1.2 Beta (204). If not, please continue using Spanning Sync v1.1.4 until we complete work on v1.2.
What's New in v1.2 Beta
- Major updates to both the client and server sync engines
- Syncing is up to 5 times faster!
- Events synced from Google Calendar will inherit iCal's default alarm (Leopard only)
- Turning on "Don't sync events older than N days" with detached events no longer causes an error
- Server-based calendars no longer show up in the Spanning Sync pref pane, since Apple doesn't allow syncing them
- Fixed a problem that could keep the next sync from getting scheduled
Please keep in mind that this is beta software that includes major changes under the hood and is sure to have bugs. Known issues are listed in the ReadMe, which is also included with the download. We're looking for people to actively help us find those bugs so we can fix them before we release v1.2.
The beta is open to all customers and trial users—just download and install it and sign in with your Google Calendar or Google Apps account name and password.
Please send all bug reports, comments, and suggestions to beta@spanningsync.com. We look forward to a productive beta period leading to a rock-solid release of v1.2, which will be, like all Spanning Sync updates, free to paid subscribers.
