uSync 8.0 - Release into the wind

This is the v8.0.0 release of uSync, 🎈 🎉 it has travelled the wilds of the Umbraco alpha builds, survived the great namespace changes, fought with the wolves of the variant cultures and overcome the wile rapids dependency injection gorge to emerged onto the placid lake of release.

install-package uSync 

the v8 release will sync everything you expect.

• Datatypes
• Document Types
• Media Types
• Member Types
• Macros,
• Languages,
• Templates

Content Edition also release today will sync:

• Content
• Media
• Dictionary Items
• Domains (culture and hostname settings)

underneath everything has changed, but the processes remain the broadly same, but some key highlights are 👍

• Sync is off by default

  • lots of people get caught out by that first sync, so now by default it's not there)

• Actions are captured inline

  • when delete or rename happens the config file isn't removed - its replaced with one that tells uSync to delete (or ignore) what here before. this makes deployment easier (because you don't end up with rouge files from old things) and actions are more inline.

• Tracker improvements

  • We are still working on making the difference tracker better, but it's much better than the v4 one already, it now pops out (in a fancy infinite editor) and should be a lot more meaning full than before.

• potential power^tm built-in

  • the API is cleaner, and we've built uSync ready to accept the host of add-ons that we have, from member syncing to better snapshots, all the potential is there, and we are going to use it

As always feedback welcome 😄
