And it is with at least a bit of pride to announce this release. There are two major updates in this release:

  1. The decision has been made to drop the DocBook based documentation in favor of a regular man page. Man pages are still the standard and enough converters are freely available to convert the documentation to any possible format.
  2. AScopy now recognizes when a file is new but a copy of a file already present or when a file has been moved. A move of a file will look like a copy of a known file and then the removal of that file, but at least the file can be handled locally on the remote site and does not have to be transported over the network.

The new version can be downloaded here.

For the next version I will probably add the possibility to use different transportation mechanisms like FTP and WebDAV.
