Build 332 Available

Spanning Sync v2.0 Beta (332) is now available. All beta testers are asked to upgrade as soon as possible. As always, please submit bugs, comments, questions, and suggestions to beta@spanningsync.com.

What's New in Build 332

• Improved support for huge (10,000+ events) calendars
• No longer forces server debug logging for calendars
• Fixes a problem with improper log snipping
• Contacts with no names are now ignored by default, with an option to use email addresses as names
• No longer offers to replace data on Google (RDOG) on first contact sync
• Includes a more portentous warning for RDOG of contacts
• Default group popup is now properly set in the pref pane
• Google auth token failures are handled better
• Phantom middle name bug fixed

Also, we've made a change to the Trial system so that expired trials will automatically reset after 3 months.

Note: If you used an earlier beta version and were affected by the Phantom Middle Name bug will need to restore your contacts from backup and then sync. Otherwise you may wind up with two copies of each contact in Address Book with slightly different names (e.g., "Charlie Wood" and "Charlie  Wood"—note the extra space).

This app is a huge "not ready for prime time"

- It won't sync my contacts without removing the check mark to sync my calendar.

- On the first sync through it duplicated all my Mac addressbook entries.

Beware - only download if you have a lot of free time to restore the mess it makes.

Wayne-

It would be most helpful if you could submit a report of your findings to beta@spanningsync.com along with a report ("Advanced", "Create report...") so we can isolate and fix the problems you've found during your testing.

Thanks,
Charlie

What does "Couldn't find owning contact" mean in the log?

[Charlie Wood]

"Couldn't find owning contact" means that a subrecord (email address, phone number, IM, or postal address) was found, but its owner wasn't. This typically means that the contact had no name, so the contact record was discarded.
