For an existing job, you need to go to the Internet dialog, second tab sheet, click on Character Conversion and choose the automatic conversion.
Fixes a possible error message when listing a large number of file shares.
Update the Last Modification timestamp of destination base folders when any of the variables $WEEKDAY, $2WEEKSDAYS, or $DWMQ are used. That way, you can sort the folders by date in Windows Explorer and see which folder the last backup went to.
The /RUNX= command line parameter can now be combined with all possible settings parameters, such as /IntermediateRightPath= and many others. Previously, only a few select parameters could be overriden.

– fixes some issues with MEGA
v7.48b (Mac, Apr 29, 2016):
– fixes an issue in yesterday’s version 7.48a preventing the scheduler from starting.
v7.48a (Windows, Apr 27, 2016):
– bug fix of File List Cache sub-option “Double-check the actual destination for those folders where new or updated files seem to exist” when used with B2 or Rackspace (which is not recommended because it causes complete re-reading of the file list with those APIs).
v7.48 (Apr 26, 2016):
– allows efficient usage of the “Cache Destination File List” feature with Backblaze B2 and Rackspace
– log on jobs are now run in parallel as part of the normal scheduler operation, rather than delaying scheduler start-up
– fixes an issue where in certain situations, drive disconnections were not detected, causing “Run profile when drive is available” to fail if the “once” radio button is chosen.
– improves some internal aspects of scheduler start-up

– adds large file uploads for OneDrive for Business
– avoid a 409 CONFLICT error when creating folders on Box that have just been created by a different thread or profile.
– allows to disable Unicode normalization for filename comparisons and sorting in order to increase speed on older machines. To do this, add AvoidUnicodeNormalization=1 to the [Main] section of the ini file.
v7.43a (Mar 07, 2016):
– fixes restoring from Synthetic Backup.
– Mac: fixes an exception with message “FileTimeToLocalDateTime”.
v7.43 (Windows, Mac, Linux – Feb 29, 2016):
– fixes jobs that use Microsoft Azure, or WebDAV with library 2 to fail today because of a leap day related bug in one of the libraries.

– Windows only: allows specifying just the computer name as a source path, and Syncovery will copy all the file shares. For example: \\MERKUR
– Mac: removes the restriction of a 30% file deletion limit when mounted volumes are used
– Mac: now retries a profile if the folders are not ready at first and a (possibly bogus) “volume unmount” is detected
v7.42d (Windows, Feb 25, 2016):
– fixes a bug where sometimes a number of files to move would be shown for the source side of the sync. This was only a counting error, no incorrect moves were done.
v7.42c (Mac and Windows, Feb 23, 2016):
– Mac: includes all recent changes since 7.41.
– Win only: allows “Run as user” to work with the four cloud protocols that use an internal cache and get changes from the server only: Box, DropBox, Google Drive, and Amazon Cloud Drive.

– fixes a new bug in 7.40 that could cause recopying of files starting with ._
– fixes Folder Timestamp Filter
– fixes Folder Masks not working in some cases
v7.40 (Windows and Macintosh, Feb 2, 2016):

v7.38 (Windows, Jan 13, 2016):
– fixes a rare error processing the file listing from Amazon Cloud Drive
– fixes Google Drive errors concerning folder names starting with a space or containing a single quote character
– fixes items missing from the Sync Preview when it starts in collapsed state
– if the folder for deleted files on an FTP or other server already contains a file to delete,
and also contains it in encoded form with timestamp, then the file is just deleted if moving it into the folder for deleted files fails.
– it now makes sense to combine binary comparison with move files mode and “delete identical or older from source”
– fixes a bug where Syncovery would try “resuming from 0 Bytes”
v7.37 (Windows, Jan 11, 2016):
Implements recursive deletion of deselected folders from the destination in Exact Mirror Mode, when the option “Remove Deselected Subfolders and Files From Destination” is chosen. To use this feature you have to actively choose it again in version 7.37 even if it was chosen previously. Version 7.37 removes the checkmark from existing profiles because the implementation of the feature is now more complete and alters the behavior of the software.

– further uploading efficiency improvements and bug fixes for Google Drive
v7.36 (Windows, Dec 31, 2015):
– more efficient uploading to Google Drive
– uploaded files will now use Google’s versioning rather than completely replacing the older
versions (to use this, please do not use Syncovery’s own versioning settings)
– bug fixes
v7.35b (Windows, Dec 29, 2015):
More Mega related bug fixes.
v7.35a (Windows, Dec 27, 2015):

v7.30 (Dec 13, 2015):
– adds DropBoxV2 as protocol. The new algorithm and API for DropBox speeds up getting the file list, similar to Google Drive in v7.29. This algorithm caches the file list and downloads only the changes when a job starts. It is highly recommended not to use the feature “Cache Destination File List” any more because the new algorithm has its own cache.
– various bug fixes
v7.29 (Dec 9, 2015):
– new algorithm and API usage for Google Drive speeds up getting the file list. This algorithm caches the file list and downloads only the changes when a job starts. It is highly recommended not to use the feature “Cache Destination File List” any more because the new algorithm has its own cache.
– various bug fixes
v7.27 (Nov 27, 2015):
– adds additional algorithms, including Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) support for SFTP/SSH and ECDSA certificates.

– Fixes problems with non-ASCII characters when using the SSH/SFTP protocol.
– Fixes recursive listings when synchronizing with other Macs using the SSH/SFTP protocol.
v7.20a (Oct 30, 2015 – Windows only):
Fixes downloading files from Amazon S3 on Windows, which was broken in v7.20, build 201.
v7.20 (Oct 30, 2015):
Adds support for Amazon Cloud Drive and MediaFire, and features a new, lightning fast database format for the “Cache Destination File List” feature. In the past, the cache database could often be slower than the destination storage itself in terms of building the file list. Now the database should be at least as fast as locally attached SSD drives.
To use Amazon Cloud Drive, click the Internet button and choose Amazon Cloud Drive as protocol.
v7.18e (Aug 29, 2015):
- Fixes leaving duplicate files on Google Drive when a newer version of a file is uploaded that already exists. All duplicates will be deleted if you upload a file with the new version. If you want to clean duplicates in your complete folder structure, use the new version 7.20 which has a checkmark for cleaning duplicates on the Google Drive tab sheet of the Internet dialog.

- Added an additional retry to getting the file listing from a Google Drive folder.
v7.17d (June 13, 2015):
- Fixes authentication for profiles running for more than one hour with SugarSync.
- A possible authentication refresh fix may also improve stability with other OAuth based cloud services.
v7.17c (June 10, 2015):
- Added at timeout to the OAuth authentication.
v7.17b (June 9, 2015):
- Fixes a bogus error where Syncovery stops a job due to high memory usage (but actually there was no high memory usage).
v7.17a (May 30, 2015):
- Fixes a possible bug converting older Google Docs profiles when they are not edited but run directly by the new version.
v7.17 (May 30, 2015):
- The Google Drive protocol now completely replaces the Google Docs protocol, which has been shut down by Google. Previous Google Docs jobs will automatically use document conversion where chosen. New jobs and previous Google Drive jobs need to have document conversion enabled if desired. The checkmark is on the second tab sheet of the Internet dialog. Note that the available file types for conversion have been updated on the Google Docs tab sheet.
- Fixes a few cloud related issues (especially around authentication and refreshing tokens).
v7.16a for Windows (May 22, 2015):
- Any single Syncovery process will not allocate more than 8GB of RAM even in the 64 bit version. The limit can be changed by adding a line such as AbsMaxMemoryMB=2048 to the [Main] section of the INI file. If a job allocates more memory than this, it will stop and log diagnostics information.
- Jobs split due to the number of files exceeding 2 million (or the number specified on the Program Settings dialog) will now request only one recursive listing for all the parts of the split job from servers like FTP, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure and other cloud services.

v7.10 for Mac and Windows (Feb 22/23, 2015):
- The Syncovery Remote Service can now generate multi-threaded file listings extremely fast, and the new listings can be processed by Syncovery with multiple threads also.

- More than the allowed uploads can now be specified on the Files tab sheet, so that additional threads can prepare for uploading and wait in queue.
v7.04 for Mac and Windows (Dec 4, 2014):
- Implements chunked uploads for DropBox so you can upload files over 150MB.
- Allows up to 3 parallel uploads for OneDrive.
- Added a “Fast Mode” for OneDrive that uses only the new chunked API.

You will find the Fast Mode checkbox on the second tab sheet of the Internet dialog. In addition, for the normal uploading mode, fallback to the new API as well as handling of the request throttling by OneDrive has been improved.
- Updates the Syncovery Remote Service with a possible stability fix.

- On Windows, the NTFS Security Settings (permissions) copying has been much improved. You can now copy permissions directly from the top level of a UNC share to a folder, or to another UNC share. When choosing “Process base folder too”, inheritance is automatically disabled on the destination if this is necessary to make the permissions match. Several bugs have been fixed.
v7.02 for Macintosh (Nov 23, 2014):
- First Release for Mac.
