SharedSafe build 1708
I’ve just distributed build 1708 to our download server. You should get the update notification the next hour or so.
My lovely alpha testers, this is probably one of the last versions tagged with “alpha” in its name.
This version is mainly a stabilization release. We extended our test suite and fixed a number of edge cases where files disappear or change dates while a synchronization is running.
We polished the “recent changes” window somewhat: It now contains a Notification link that switches to a list of recent notifications. This way, multiple notifications can be presented at a time.
Additionally, the explorer context menu appears when you click on change item with the right mouse button. This lets you resolve conflicts directly from within the recent changes list.
And, finally, the layout of our website is ready and we are starting to prepare the content for the private beta. If your are not yet a registered alpha tester, you are welcome to join the private beta by following us on Twitter or Facebook.
For the next iteration we plan to extend the licensing system to feature build-time relative licenses (which we decided to use for the private beta) and a clarification text that shows what is actually exported if you want to share files. These are minor points, so we will mainly focus on the website for the next few days.
