Release Notes

[Feature] The client now monitors for changes in available “Spare” drives in an Apple Raid set. This will catch instances where a member is separated from a mirror set, without actually calling the RAID “failed”. [BugFix] No longer warns if Time Machine had been configured, but is now disabled. (bug introduced in v3.2).

[Feature] Rewrite of the Time Machine plugin for reliability in manually running Time Machine (to be added in the 3.3 client’s PreferencePane).

[Feature] Added an Uninstaller to the Watchman Client’s PreferencePane. [Feature] Added an “Update Now” button to the PreferencePane.

[Feature] Added Client-side auto updating (security via SSL and SHA-512 comparisons). [Feature] Created Update Status plugin to report tamper attempts. [Feature] Client now reports current Uptime. [Bugfix] Time Machine trigger would count too many days before a run.

[Feature] Added manual Time Machine scheduling at a given hour. [Feature] Reduced false positives by warning if a volume is reported missing twice in a row. [Change] If a volume is missing, skip extra warning about usage. [Change] Streamlined Disk I/O error checking.
