Several changes to enhance and simplify file masks:
Convenient dialog for setting file masks. 98
Change: File mask that does not end with slash matched only files, not directories anymore.
Change: Include directory masks are recursive.
Include directories checkbox on Select mask dialog was replaced with Apply to directories checkbox that suspends the above change.
Change: Include file mask that does not contain any directory mask matches any directory.
Change: Include/Exclude mask in transfer settings replaced with File mask, what is equivalent of Include mask (as supported already previously, it can contain exclude mask after |).
Change: Script options exclude and include deprecated in favor of -filemask=<mask> switch of get, put, synchronize and keepuptodate commands.
Change: Special characters ;,|<> in file masks can be used as literals by doubling them.
File masks can select files also by their modification timestamp. 672
Change: Escaping new lines in attribute values in XML log (particularly useful for attribute value of output and erroroutput).
Change: Script option transfer deprecated in favor of -transfer switch of get, put, synchronize and keepuptodate commands.
Added scripting command stat to retrieve attributes of remote file, along with associated stat XML log element.
Added /xmlgroups command-line parameter that causes XML log file generated while scripting, to group elements corresponding to the same script command under group element.
Added /nointeractiveinput command-line parameter that makes scripting fail all prompts, except for prompts for commands.
It is enough to click (as opposite to previous double-click) Transfer settings box on Transfer, Synchronize and Keep remote directory up to date dialogs to open Transfer settings dialog.
Change: Session option Remember last used directory is enabled by defaut.
Error when looking up user groups are by default suppressed.
Timeout prompt suggests turning off Optimize connection buffer size as workaround for some problems.
“Host key not verified” error messages includes host key fingerprint.
Host keys (both actual and configured) are recorded in session log.
Directories in file panel are never sorted by an extension.
