   ChronoSync 4.6.0 and ChronoAgent 1.5.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Econ Technologies has released [1]ChronoSync 4.6.0 and [2]ChronoAgent
   1.5.1, with the former receiving over a dozen new features as well as a
   long list of enhancements and fixes. ChronoSync's biggest addition is
   the SmartScan feature, an advanced algorithm that analyzes a volume for
   changes. While files won't copy any faster, Chronosync promises
   significant speed gains due to how SmartScan detects what files need to
   be copied. The automated synchronization and backup app also adds
   checksum data verification for performance increases (especially across
   slower connections), new scheduling options, improved user interface
   for OS X 10.10 Yosemite, rules to include/exclude files based on Finder
   Tags, the capability to mount and unmount locally attached drives, and
   push notifications sent to an iOS device via the [3]ChronoMonitor app
   (coming in version 1.1). ChronoSync now requires 10.8 Mountain Lion and
   later.

   ChronoAgent 1.5.1 improves SmartScan comparability with ChronoSync
   4.6.0, improves Voice Over support, fixes a bug related to starting
   multiple, concurrent secure sessions, and adds a Japanese localization.
   (Free updates for both apps; $40 new for ChronoSync with a 25 percent
   discount for [4]TidBITS members, 28.4 MB, [5]release notes, 10.8+; $10
   new for ChronoAgent, 10.3 MB, [6]release notes, 10.8+)
