Hope all of you will find the changes, bug fixes and new features and interesting and we get a quick feedback. Thank you, it seems that these new windows clients have fixed a very annoying bug for us: horribly long startup time, where the startup of ifolder would block everything else. That's no longer a problem, and we're very happy to see that. However, we did notice something after an upgrade of ifolder server from 3.7.x to the more recent 3.8 pre-releases: our windows clients claim that: 'new release 3.8 is available, would you like to upgrade?'. Selecting 'yes' makes the window go away, but nothing happens afterwards. Restarting the client repeats the issue. This seems to impact both 3.7.2 clients and these new pre-3.8 ones. Should I be submitting this as a bug report? Dominik, Not really , its not a BUG . I believe you are using a pre release server [ from Build Service ] which has version 3.8 in all the version.config files . Hence you are getting this message on the clients. Just change the version.config / unix-version.config and mac-version.config files on the server . Change the value to 3.7.2 from 3.8.0.0 . These files are located in /usr/lib/simias/web/update/ . A Detailed info on how upgrades work and how to modify the files are uploaded to wiki on the community site. ravi -- Dominik L.

Hi Dominik, We have uploaded current release beta 4 Windows(32/64 bit) and MAC clients to the following location. https://sourceforge.net/projects/ifolder3/files/ Since last upload, iFolder clients have gone through tremendous amount of changes(which you might have already observed with Linux clients).

Borkowski d...@vbi.vt.edu 10/29/2009 7:42 PM Hello, First of all, big thank you to everybody involved with iFolder: great work. We've been impressed with the maturity of this product and its core functionality. Having said that, I'd like to bring a few issues that I think are important, especially in light of the new release right around the corner. I'll try to split off those concerns into different e-mails, rather than overcrowding a single thread. In this particular e-mail I'd like to concentrate on the subject of testing releases for iFolder client and server. It seems that unless one is a developer, being able to test what's in the works is a bit hindered. Until recently, the only place one could find testing opensuse packages was http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Mono:/UIA:/iFolder/MonoOpenSUSE_11.1 Seems that now we have a new repo in build services: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/ifolder:/ Yes above is correct, this is setup recently and going forward you will find all latest updates here. What about macosx and windows clients? There haven't been any more beta clients since 3.7.3 beta2, which was out in June. Even though we are almost at the stages of next release, let me check if we can make RC builds for MAC and windows clients available today. We'd love to help by testing newer releases, unfortunately lack of packages is making it harder. What are the chances of making those available before final release? Thanks! -- Dominik L.

Re: [Ifolder-dev] preparing for 3.8 release - availability of release candidates
Hi Alex, Are they based on code not in SVN then? Ans: Client packages uploaded are absolutely based on code available in SVN repository iFolder_3.7.2_beta4 branch. SVN repository is the only place where all iFolder source code is maintained and iFolder server, client packages are built from.

The newly updated clients are labeled 3.7.2 beta 4, while ifolder.com/download lists 3.7.3 beta 2 [which are very old]. The way and timing of version number updates followed for iFolder are slightly different(we update the version numbers at the end and not in the beginning). We intend to change this going forward. As per my understanding that is the reason why you are observing difference in version numbers. As such the link 3.7.3 Beta 2 x64 form ifolder.com/download page points to, 3.7.2 Beta2 clients available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ifolder3/files/iFolder%20Clients. Is this a mistake, or 3.7.3 tree never took off? 3.7.3 never happened and does not exist. After 3.7.2 it is only 3.8.0.0. It looks like, before the official version number update people referred to the the current release as 3.7.3 and that is not correct.
