Version 2.9.0 - Jan 29, 2026
An update to the 2.9.1 repository has been updated, enabling tagging for the default /usr/bin/rsync as per the rsync version 3.x. I have not yet released version 2.9.1, but if there are any requests for tagging as outlined below for the default version of rsync, please inform me. Then I will make a new release version 2.9.1.
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.
