New Features:

• The new archive status window (Window > Status in the application, or Status Window in the menu bar item) displays a compact summary of the state of each active archive.
• A new Exclude: Items Excluded by Time Machine capture filter will exclude the same items that Time Machine excludes from its backups.
• Many applications and system services indicate files or folders that do not need to be backed up by registering it with the Backup Core service. QRecall will now read the backup preference of each item it captures and honor Backup Core requests to exclude certain items.
• Note: as with all exclusion filters, if you set one capture action to exclude certain items make sure all other capture actions for that archive use the same set of filters.
• A new Ignore Changes in: filter list has been added to the capture action.
• An item added to this section is treated by the capture action as if it has not changed. This is distinctly different from adding an item to the exclude filter, which treats the item as if it does not exist.
• The intended purpose of this feature is to optimize brief, frequent, captures that don't need to capture every detail of a folder hierarchy.
• For example, a capture action that captures one's home folder every 30 minutes can be excessively slow if it must repeatedly recapture large, frequently changing, items like mail folders or virtual machine images. Now, the capture action for the home folder can skip changes to the mail and virtual machine images, while a second capture that runs once a day captures the home folder in its entirety.
• Note: anything ignored by a capture action should eventually be captured by some other action in a timely mannor, else changes for the ignored items will begin to accumulate and result in excessive overhead.
• For security reasons, recent versions of Mac OS X will not launch an executable with elevated privileges if the executable code resides on a filesystem other than the startup volume. This has the potential to be a problem for QRecall, which normally installs its privileged helper tool in the account's ~/Library/Application Support folder. If the user's home folder has been relocated to another volume, QRecall cannot be pre-authorized to run with administrative privileges.
• QRecall now detects this situation and installs its privileged executables in the system's /Library/Application Support folder instead.
• A new Edit > Select Existing Items command will select all of the items in the active browser window that currently exist on disk.
• In addition, a new Edit > Invert Selection command will invert the current selection (selecting the unselected items and vice versa). To select all of the non-existent items, choose Select Existing Items followed by Invert Selection.

• Fixed a problem with deleted user accounts that had previously installed a scheduler process as a system daemon. The system would try to launch the scheduler daemon for the non-existent user, which would repeatedly fail.
• The QRecall installation now checks to see that all scheduler daemon processes belong to valid user accounts, and automatically removes any that aren't.
• Before repairing an archive, QRecall now presents a modal sheet that strongly suggest that you verify/repair the directory structure of the volume containing the archive before proceeding.
• If the disk drive containing the volume is directly connected to the system, QRecall can initiate the repair itself using the same tool employed by Disk Utility.
• The verify action may report that the Negative Hash Map is inconsistent. This used to be a fatal error, but now appears in the log simply as a caution.
• An incomplete negative hash map only slightly affects QRecall's ability to detect duplicate data during a capture, and is not a serious problem. Reindexing the archive will correct the issue.
• Capture excludes the /.MobileBackups when running Mac OS X 10.7 or later.

• Fixed a bug that would cause QRecall to crash if an archive window was closed while a search was in progress.
• If more than one archive window was open, a search in one window would interfere with searches in other windows.
• Folders would incorrectly display as having been searched before they actually were.
• The label of the search field in the toolbar now indicates when a search is in progress.
• Fixed a potential memory leak.
• Communications failures between the QRecall helper process and its metadata service process is now more robust and should not cause the capture to terminate abnormally.
• The record order optimization logic was completely rewritten. This was done primarily to fix a number of elusive bugs, but has the added benefit of improving the overall compact performance.
• The new logic first calculates an optimal record order for the entire archive, and then begins compacting. This results in a larger memory footprint and a slightly longer startup time, but ultimately provides better performance and reliability.
• An erroneous consistency check could cause a merge to fail under rare circumstances with the complaint that the path identifier of an inherited directory was too short. This was not true.
• Fixed a long-standing problem with AppleEvent parameters that prevented the activity monitor and QRecall service from communicating with the QRecall application. Features like the View Log button in the activity monitor window and the Reveal in Archive service now work again.
• Fixed a number of display related bugs in the browser.
• Addressed an obscure situation where the scheduler would try to start up with an invalid event state, resulting in an abnormal termination and repeated restarts of the scheduler.
• The scheduler is now much less likely to exit with an incomplete event state, and should now gracefully start up even if it does.
