uSync 8 Release Candidate

Release Candidate for uSync for Umbraco 8

Should sync successfully all doctypes, datatypes, mediaTypes, templates, languages, memberTypes, macros - with content edition will also do media, content, dictionary items and domain names (culture and hostnames).

All syncing works, there are some minor issues in how changes are reported for content properties, but this doesn't affect the operation of the sync process.

Save properly edition

Changing how and where the item saves are made, was always going to cause me to miss something.

because we added the ability to batch save items, we missed a few areas on second passes where saves should have but now didn't happen.

fixes:
#20 Compositions not imported
#21 Media serialization fails because of unknown type.

features
#22 uSync dashboard isn't a dashboard anymore its part of the settings tree.
#22 we've added the ability to add expansions to usync - this is how snapshots, etc will be incorporated into the main usync package.

v8 beta 5

Fixes some issues - and refactors some things for performance.

install-package uSync -version 8.0.0-beta5

Fixes:

• #15 issues with Content duplicates, and hierarchy
• #13 templates missing their master
• #16 Fix for recomputing sort order on save H5YR @JoseMarcenaro

Changes:

• #17 Adds save flags so we can change where the save to umbraco happens, for performance
  • includes <BatchSave> setting partly for #18 partly for speed.

Known Issues

• #18 A full import can hang with a serialization error from within Umbraco, we are trying to track this down.
• #19 Sometimes there are blank changes reported

v8 Beta 4 - Release

Beta release for Umbraco 8.

Fixes in this release:

• Fail when creating datatypes for custom properties
• Blueprints (ContentTemplates) didn't restore properly
• Content Edition error when some content properties are not set on save/publish

v8 Beta 1

Beta one release for Umbraco v8.0.0

This is the beta release to coincide with the launch of Umbraco 8.

get via nuget:

install-package uSync -pre

and you can get content edition too

install-package uSync.ContentEdition -pre

Most things work - and syncing between sites is fairly consistent - we have a few known issues.

Tracker - the tracker is used to tell users what the changes are when they run a report

• Tracker - reports PreValue changes, that aren't
• Tracker - reports parent change when there is no parent.

Settings

• Handler info - not all handler info is loaded into the settings screen
• Handler Specific Actions - Import / Export / All are not fully implemented.

Alpha 2482

To avoid confusion (on my behalf) - the alpha versions will now match the Umbraco alpha number which the solution is running when the packages are made.

• fixes a null issue when creating new datatypes. Fixes issue #5

Alpha 61

Alpha 61 release - updates and changes because some of the internal service names changed between Umbraco nightly builds.

Alpha58 Release

Are you feeling lucky?

uSync for Umbraco 8 is here, well a very early alpha release is.

The core of uSync working for Umbraco 8 - with some rewritten goodness to make it all play nice. features include

• Improved serializers (we got rid of a lot of legacy stuff)
• SignalR updates - (so it's not just three dots anymore)
• Better change detection and reporting - actually it might even tell you what is going to change.

this release isn't on NuGet because well you don't want to accidentally install it on an existing project. but you can get the nuget files below, and install them from a folder if you want.
