Hello,

After a summer break and some exams, I've been getting busy
again, and I'm pleased to announce that USBSink 0.0.2 is
available for download from:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/usbsink/usbsink-0.0.2....

What it is
==========

USBSink is a GNOME program for file synchronization over USB.
It is designed for users of removable drives, such as flash drives
or external hard disks. The idea is to define a simple task, and
then have a complete automation of data trasfers. With file monitoring
and hardware detection features, USBSink is able to respond and act
according to relevant events across the desktop.

Screenshots are at:

http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=1...

Changes
=======

Important:

* Settings are now stored in ~/.config/usbsink. All users should copy
the contents of their ~/.usbsink directory to this new directory, so
that the program can continue to use all the tasks and ignore file
lists previously created.

Other than that, there has been some code and UI improvement
visible as:

* Logging has been moved away from the main window and accessible
through a separate dialog, with each task keeping one for itself.

* Statusbar comes alive with basic messages regarding task syncing
and drive (un)mounting.

Development
===========

USBSink is written in C++ with gtkmm, HAL, D-Bus, FAM and libpcre.
More information and some future plans can be seen at:
