Version 0.1.3 of eDrive is now available from Alfresco Add+ons

http://addons.alfresco.com/addons/edrive

This will be the last release of the 0.1.x branch.

This version is now available as a downloadable zip file edrive-1.0.3-bin.zip that can be unzipped to a directory on your machine and run directly from the /bin folder using either the edrive.bat for windows or the edrive.sh for Linux and Mac OSX

The /config directory contains an initial empty eDrive.json file as well as an eDrive.json.example file that can be used for reference when setting up your own Synchronisers. There is also a default eDrive.pass file containing a pass phrase used for encrypting the passwords.

Some points of note for this release:

1. eDrive now serialises the snapshot states of each configured Synchroniser when shutting down so that the next start up remembers it's previous state.
2. If a configured Synchroniser references a Repository that is not available when eDrive starts up it will attempt to re-establish a connection every 5
minutes rather than just disabling the Synchroniser.
3. We added a new shutdown command so that clients can shutdown eDrive cleanly.

A Call to arms…

We would like to elicit more involvement from the Open Source community to help build native interfaces for eDrive on ALL the common OS platforms. We are thinking along the lines of a tortoies svn like plugin for Windows Explorer, Mac OSX and Nautilus.

Anybody interested in getting involved can leave a comment here OR head over to the SourceForge site and raise a ticket or start a discussion.

We are building a REST based Web Service client for eDrive that we will Open Source when ready to Beta.

It should be pretty easy to build light weight native clients as the only connections to eDrive is via 2 sockets, no programming language restriction as there are no libraries required…
