(Also the user will be notified of that, unless Quiet mode is set.) * Upgrade scripts created, which don't download modules from CPAN first. * Switch -s ("Strict mode, only forward backups") is now -S.

• Black Mirror 1.2 Released

  Finally, the biggest update to Black Mirror yet is available for download. It lets you now sync file attributes/modes too, provides better error reports, handles Mac OS X "packages" properly and introduces a feature to clean up your backup device. The backup procedure and the Strict mode have been improved as well.

• First Stable Release of Black Mirror

  Black Mirror 1.1 now offers better file handling on Mac OS X and always syncs the time stamps of files, so only files will be copied that actually are new or have changed.
