4.07

• FIX: Fixed issue with log files not being written to the correct path
• FIX: #171 - Job stops when path does not exist.
• FIX: #173 - Right Click Saved Job and select Test - unexpected dialog appears
• FIX: #180 - Add logging of new sync options (target vs subfolders) to indicate which was selected
• FIX: #182 - Path missing a trailing backslash causes job to end. Also, editor does not add trailing backslashes to previously saved jobs
• FIX: #183 - Sync option is not starting from the correct level as set out in the extended options
• FIX: #184 - Migrate file shares to destination server: option not showing correct info in log file
• FIX: #187 - Fixed issue where jobs might not complete and Secure Copy could exit, especially on high performance systems with SAN arrays
• FIX: #192 - Migrate local users. Fixed issue where local users might not get migrated
• FIX: #228 - Fixed issue where "percent complete" might remain at 0% on large copy jobs
• ENH: #174 - Log Purged data, even during Test runs
• ENH: #181 - Add text to log file that will distinguish a test vs an actual run

4.05

• FIX: Corrected issue where negative numbers could appear in bytes copied field
• FIX: Corrected issue with log file summary showing an incorrect amount of data copied
• FIX: Corrected issue where global groups in the local Administrators group were not added as members of the local Administrators group on the target
• FIX: Corrected issue where migration of a file share between Windows 2003 servers performed by running Secure Copy on Windows XP produced erroneous dates, corrupting the file share's time and date information
• FIX: Corrected issue where if a value was defined for either "Add the prefix" or "Add the suffix" in "Migrate local groups", that value would be listed as defined for both in the log file
• ENH: Added new synchronize option which synchronizes subfolders of the source and target folders. This feature now purges "orphaned" files/folders in subfolders on the target with subfolders on the source. It makes the contents of all subfolders on the target identical to subfolders on the source with the same name. Any files or folders in subfolders on the target that no longer exist in the subfolders of the source are deleted.
• ENH: Added warning dialog to alert user to potential consequences of using synchronize feature with multiple source paths.
• ENH: User is prompted to name unsaved jobs before they are run
• ENH: "Save Job As..." icon added to console's Toolbar
• ENH: New option to not update files which have last-modified times within 2 seconds of the source. This avoids the file-time granularity issue that occurs when copying from NTFS to FAT, and then back to an NTFS file system. (File-time granularity is 100 nanoseconds on NTFS, and 2 seconds on FAT)

4.04

• FIX: Corrected a locking issue that could occur when the retry option is selected.
• FIX: Corrected informational message that is displayed when no batch count is specified.
• FIX: Installer now correctly upgrades previous version.

4.03

• FIX: Corrected a stalling issue that could occur during copy operations.
• Changed architecture so that large files are no longer assigned to one thread.
• Removed progress bar.

4.02

• FIX: When multiple source paths are specified and the Create initial source folder under target folder check box is unchecked, the Synchronize Target with Source option will be unavailable.
• FIX: Corrected a behavior where Directory not empty along with Access denied errors could occur when: (a) the Synchronize Target with Source option is selected, and (b) the attributes of the data set to be copied was both Read only and Hidden.
• FIX: When the Synchronize Target with Source option is selected, files would not be deleted from the target if their attributes are set to Read only.
• FIX: When a job is run with the Synchronize Target with Source option enabled, the SecureJobCopy4.exe process terminates within a few seconds of the job starting.
• FIX: Corrected behavior where values for the thread count, batch count, and batch size parameters from a previously loaded job are specified automatically for the next new newly-created job.
• FIX: The securecopy4.ssd configuration file would be deleted after reconfiguring the account credentials that a scheduled job was to run under, and then running that job interactively.

4.01

• ENH: Moved the set password functionality from the Advanced Options tab to the Migrate local groups/users tab.
• ENH: Source and target path information are included in the log file.
• ENH: Secure Copy 4 can be installed cleanly using a Secure Copy 3 NFR license file under maintenance.

• FIX: Incorrect license information no longer appears in the title bar when a valid license file is applied.
• FIX: Total files skipped now reported correctly in the log file.
• FIX: Batch size is now reported correctly in the log file.
• FIX: Corrected issue when trying to migrate local users and groups into a specific OU within Active Directory
• FIX: Adverse impact on Service Explorer 2 when Secure Copy 4 was installed on the same system.
• FIX: Context menu functionality restored to Saved Jobs tab.
• FIX: Job parameter fields no longer accept invalid data.
• FIX: Variables used to insert a date & time stamp into a log file name ("#DATE#" or "%DATE%") now work.
• FIX: Second instance of Secure Copy is no longer created in the background when a job is initiated.

4.0

• NEW: Secure Copy 4 has been comprehensively overhauled under the hood with a multi-threaded copying engine to maximize performance and make full use of available network bandwidth. This is especially noticeable when copying large numbers of files that are less than 250k in size. On the average file server containing a wide range of file sizes, performance increases of 50-100% over Secure Copy 3 are expected.
• NEW: Licensing for Secure Copy 4 will remain on a named-server basis, requiring one license for every source and every destination server. ScriptLogic is introducing 30-day and 90-day licenses with the release of Secure Copy 4. These new time-limited licenses will be available at a lower price than the traditional non-expiring Secure Copy license. Non-expiring “server lifetime” licenses, which are used primarily for data replication, are still available.
• NEW: With Secure Copy 4, administrators can enable “Automatic File Retry” and Secure Copy will automatically retry failed file copies until the files are available, or the administrator clicks "Cancel". This simple feature significantly eases the process of migrating and copying data on file servers, and further defines Secure Copy 4 as the perfect tool for data replication and file server migrations.
• NEW: Secure Copy 4’s User Interface has an updated look-and-feel with dockable toolbars for increased flexibility in arranging the workspace and maximum ease-of-use. New options have been added to control multi-threaded copying and automatic retries.
