What it is
==========

USBSink is a GNOME program for automatic file synchronization over USB.
It is designed for users of removable drives, such as flash drives or
external hard disks. In USBSink you define a task associated to
a particular USB drive, and then have a complete automation of data
trasfers. With file monitoring and hardware detection features, USBSink
is able to respond and act according to relevant events on the desktop.

Changes
=======

* Filter the files being transferred with black and white lists, defined
  with regular expression entries, or other lists. Created a simple
  editor for file lists, where it's possible to make regular expression
  matching tests. This replaces old "ignore lists". Each task now has
  an associated "file list", saved in ~/.config/usbsink/file_lists/.
  You can reuse your ignore lists by copying their entries to a file
  list. Also this means that the task file format has changed, that is
  it no longer containes these entries itself.

* Transfer files asynchronously, meaning the UI will always be
  responsive, and correctly showing the notifications.

* Log only transfer initiation and end. This also saves the CPU, because
  previously each data chunk would be logged, which is very expensive.

* Fixed the bug regarding a directory being a source file on an
  unmounted drive. When the drive would get mounted the task would not
  be aware of the directory's contents.

* Drew an icon and wrote a .desktop entry, so that the program appears
  in the Applications menu.

* Added i18n support, and Serbian translation.
  Translations are now possible.

* Wrote application manual.

* Also, make sure you check out the new ice-cool web site design at
