Change Log for Syncopation

Version 2.2

Improves compatibility with iTunes Plus. Changes to a tracks encoding bit-rate will now be synchronized to other computers.
Syncopation now preserves the ordering of playlists when transferring them from one computer to another.
Fixes an issue in which track deletions may not be applied when they should be.
Fixes a bug in which changes in capitalization of track attributes could cause the track to not be able to be located in the iTunes library.
New library inspector panels which allow you to see more information about the synchronization status of your environment.
Adds the ability to force Syncopation to take a baseline snapshot, which allows you to control the sync history of the application.
Improved handling of video podcasts. They are now controlled by the Podcast sync option, whereas they were controlled by the Movie sync option in past releases.

Fixes memory leak in Syncopation that would cause the process size to grow over time, potentially resulting in a degradation of performance.
Fixes issue in which settings for blocked and pinned tracks may not be re-loaded in future sessions.

Adds support for synchronizing changes to the Enabled attribute (checkmark).
Improved reporting of reason when no changes found.
Fixes issue with track removals when using a set of playlists to define Sync set.
Fixes issue with Playlist preferences sometimes not being saved.
Fixes issue where pod cats with the same name, but differing only in Release Date were not distinguished as separated tracks.

Fixes an issue where meta-data changes after the initial synchronization operation could fail to be picked up.

Adds support for the following iTunes meta-data: track ratings, play count, last play date, skip count, last skip date, genre, composer.
Improves ability of the Import without Copying feature to locate tracks when they are stored on a central music server or NAS attached device. Previously, Syncopation required all iTunes libraries to be set to that the iTunes music folder was on the NAS.
Fixes issues where a manually stopped synchronization was considered a "successful" synchronization for the purpose of computing the deltas for the next update.
Fixes an issue in which not all track attributes were copied correctly, potentially resulting in the creation of duplicate tracks in the destination library.
Syncopation will now remember the size of the main window between launches.

The block/pin state was not being applied correctly in 2.0. This release addresses this issue.
Fix issue with Import without Copying in which the track files would be copied regardless of the setting of the option.
Fix some typos, alignment issues, and incorrect labels.

Support for iTunes playlists. Playlists and their contents are synchronized between computers. You can also choose a subset of your playlists to define which tracks are synchronized.
Drag-and-Drop between clients. You can drag tracks from the track list to another source on the left side or drag playlists between sources to transfer tracks.
Master-Client sync mode. In addition to the peer-to-peer sync mode that was the standard operation mode in Syncopation 1.0, the program now includes a master-client sync mode in which Syncopation clients track changes on a central master server.
Selective Synchronization. Before starting a sync operation, you have the ability to select which changes will be applied.
Performance and stability improvements. The engine for doing track comparisons and data transfer was significantly improved.
More efficient attribute changes. If a track attribute (such as name, album, artist) is changed, Syncopation will apply the attribute change rather than make a new copy of the track and remove the track with the old attribute.
Support for OS X 10.5 Leopard. Fixes some minor issues that Syncopation 1.0.4 has with compatibility with Leopard.

Fixes a bug in which synchronization could fail with an error message saying "Could not get location of track <n>."

Users can now include or exclude Movies, Podcasts and TV Shows using preferences.
Re-worked the preferences UI to use Andreas Mayer's AMPreferencePane code.
Fixed an issue where invalid track locations where inserted into iTunes when the iTunes option "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is not checked.
Performance improvements in the deletion of tracks.

Improved memory usage on both the client and the server to make synchronization less impactful on the computers
Improved file-transfer logic to better handle very large files
Changed name of Bonjour service to match application name
Changed icon for iTunes library to represent the version of iTunes on the machine

New "Import without copying" option for experimental support for network media servers.
Syncopation can automatically check for new updates.
Enhanced the information in the Change Log window to help diagnose problems encountered while synchronizing.
Added the ability to manually reset the synchronization state to a clean slate.
Fixed an issue where tracks were removed from the additions list even if they could not be transferred.
Fixed an issue where certain types of tracks were reported as additions even though they already existed in the library.
Fixed some display issues with the status area.
Added a running track count to the transfer progress in the status area.
Improved error reporting when Syncopation cannot subscribe to a remote library.
