RsyncUI version release notes and changelogs.
Version 2.9.0
Version 2.9.0 - Jan 29, 2026
The previous release candidate, version 2.9.0rc, has been released as version 2.9.0 without the need for a new build.
There have been several linting updates. Only a few linting issues remain, all linting rules have been deleted from the code, and there is now only one .swiftlint.yml file containing all rules for all code.
- Tagging of output from rsync, refer to the blog post titled “Verify Remote” for more info about the tagging. It is only the tagging within this blog which are relevant, not the function described in the post.
- The tagging is depended upon two parameters for rsync
--itemize-changesand--update- It is important to note that rsync generates more output when parameters above are set. However, this does not imply that more data is being synchronized; it simply indicates that rsync is producing more output.
- In the Tasks menu, when using a single table for tasks, the “Use two tables Inspector” setting is disabled. Consequently, the Inspectors for Edit and Parameters are not closed when the tab is changed.

Version 2.8.7
Version 2.8.7 - Jan 14, 2026
It appears that the updated package successfully addresses the issue of missing statistics. I have not encountered the “no stats” problem after the update, and several users have downloaded the release candidate. The release candidate has been promoted to the official release.
In contrast to version 2.8.6, this release introduces only two updates: an updated package RsyncProcessStreaming and a function in package ParseRsyncOutput that writes debug data to a text file if the “no stats” issue occurs.
Additionally, there is a fixed issue with the command strings for Copy public SSH Key and Verify Public SSH Key within the “Verify Tasks” menu. The issue is that the displayed command incorrectly added the keygen command in front of the actual command.
