Updates in version 2.1.1

The work on adapting RsyncUI to the new concurrency model of Swift 6 is complete.

  • RsyncUI is now fully adapted to Swifts new concurrency model and Swift version 6
    • in Xcode SWIFT_STRICT_CONCURRENCY = complete and SWIFT_VERSION = 6; is set
  • there has been several refactor of code and a few UI updates
  • by using the tool periphery, the code is cleaned and all not used classes, structs, functions and attributes are deleted
  • some of the code is created as packages, see comments about Swift Testing and Swift Package Manager below
  • thx to Cavaliere100 for testing RsyncUI on MacOS Sequoia and experienced an application crash for new users
  • RsyncUI is tested on macOS Sequoia, built by Xcode16 beta4 and it is verified working as expected
  • there is a new export and import function, tasks can now be exported and imported between profiles and to new Macs
  • fixed bug if user defined path for rsync is not valid
  • restore data only valid from remote servers, restore data from local attached disc by macOS Finder only
  • fixed a bug in parameters to rsync and create ssh-key, default and user define ssh-key
  • fixed a bug in passwordless logins
    • example of the rsync command which causes the issue is: rsync -e ssh -r --list-only thomas@raspberrypi:/backups/Documents/
    • should be rsync --verbose --compress -e ssh -i ~/.ssh_rsyncosx/rsyncosx -p 22 -r --list-only thomas@raspberrypi:/backups/Documents/ if user defined ssh-key and identityfile are enabled
  • it is allowed to change snapshot number in snapshot tasks
    • if you are changing the snapshot number be sure you now what you are doing

Xcode 16, Swift Testing and Swift Package Manager

The new version number of RsyncUI is ver 2.1.1 build 111 due to using Swift Package Manager (SPM) and Swift Testing is a significant change to increase quality of code. By using SPM, parts of the source code in RsyncUI is extraced and created as packages.

  • RsyncArguments - create parameters to rsync from configurations
  • sshCreateKey - assist to create ssh identityfile and key in RsyncUI
    • create RSA based ssh-key for default and user defined keys including ssh-port number
  • DecodeEncodeGeneric - generic code for Decode and Encode JSON data
  • ParseRsyncOutput - parse and extract numbers from output from rsync, used in view for details and log result of a synchronize tasks

By SPM and Swift Testing, the code for RsyncUI is modularized, isolated, and tested before committing changes.
