0.10 Mon Jul 31 18:05:43 EDT 2000

0.13 Mon Aug 7 16:38:14 EDT 2000

• Bugfix involving misplaced -ptime flag, caused by overenthusiastic cleanup.

• Fixed a pretty bad bug causing a failure to remove view-private files it didn't create.

0.19 Sun Nov 12 21:04:17 EST 2000

• Removed undocumented constructor param for setting comparator. (use ->cmp_func instead).
• Fixed a recently-introduced bug breaking -rm/name.

0.20 Tue Feb 27 14:44:25 EST 2001

• Fixed bug in synctree: clearprompt result must be >>8.

0.21 Fri Jun 29 19:32:28 EDT 2001

• A few fixes donated from fmr.com.

0.23 Tue Sep 4 10:48:58 EDT 2001

• Test Env: Solaris 8/Win2K SP2/Perl 5.6/CC 4.2 + Summary: previous versions had some pretty serious bugs on Windows especially. These are fixed and it appears to work pretty robustly on UNIX and Windows.
  • Fixes to support M:\view\... paths on *&^&%^#$ Windows
  • Added --Version flag to synctree.
  • Fix bug reported by Paul Faulstich of llbean.com.
  • Removed requirement for 'dbase' dir to exist a priori.
  • Only look for subtractions if requested (for performance).
  • Add support for subtraction preview.
  • Added -follow feature for alignment with clearfsimport.
  • Some peformance enhancements by combining repetitive cleartool commands into one.
  • No longer requires a set view on UNIX as long as the dest dir is in a view context.
  • Added a -quiet flag to synctree (requires Argv 1.00).
  • Improved -force to return an exit status.
  • Fixed synctree to return nonzero if any checkin fails.
  • Bugfix: transport non-resolving (dangling) symlinks correctly.
  • Require Argv 1.00 or above (related bugfixes there).

0.24 Fri Sep 14 14:05:40 EDT 2001

• Fixed an obscure bug involving -reuse and -cr together.
• Some improvements to -map/-flist and docs thereof
• Added -lbmods flag to synctree.

0.25 Tue Sep 18 09:34:34 EDT 2001

• Added -stop option to synctree.

0.26 Mon Sep 24 19:37:20 EDT 2001

• Bugfix for "-sbase=/" case.
• Fixed so that parent dirs have same comments as files.

0.27 Mon Oct 22 22:35:07 EDT 2001

• POD work.
• Added an optimization; when comparing src-vs-dest files, compare sizes before invoking File::Compare::cmp(). This is not only faster, it stops ClearCase from having to construct cleartext for every file just to compare it.

0.29 Thu Dec 13 15:27:23 EST 2001

• SEMANTIC CHANGE: the -yes flag is now less powerful; it does not suppress the checkin prompt. As of this version you must use -yes and -ci together to suppress all prompts.

0.30 Tue Jul 22 10:33:12 EDT 2003

• Fixed contact data.

0.31 Wed Nov 5 08:55:00 EST 2003

• Made two fixes provided by Christopher Drexler of Siemens.
• Made other fixes provided by James Anderson of Tyco Electronics.
• The ->protect() method of SyncTree.pm (and thus the behavior of the synctree script without -nprotect) on Windows now forces executable files (*.exe, *.dll, etc.) to be executable.

0.32 Mon Nov 10 18:00:10 EST 2003       (NOT RELEASED)
        - Fixed a bug when specifying the dest base as "." on Windows.

0.33 Tue Dec  9 13:17:55 EST 2003       (NOT RELEASED)
        - Bugfix: refuse to proceed if checkouts are sitting in the dest
          area.
        - A certain (small) amount of code cleanup.

0.34 Thu Jan  8 10:47:59 EST 2004       (NOT RELEASED)
        - Make -Narrow RE case insensitive on Windows.
        - Fixes to -reuse feature.
        - Added -ignore_co and -overwrite_co flags to synctree.
        - ********************NOTE**********************
          ***THIS VERSION MAKES AN INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE***
          ********************NOTE**********************
          The ->analyze method used to check that the dest area was
          "safe" before proceeding. This logic has now been moved out
          to a separate ->dstcheck method.  The synctree script has
          been fixed to make the extra method call; you only need
          to worry if you have your own tool built directly on the
          ClearCase::SyncTree API.  If so, simply add a call to
          ->dstcheck prior to ->analyze.

• skip attempting to remove entries below removed dirs, or the same twice
• checkin in reverse sort order, to cope with 'not selected by view'
