8.4.1 - Publisher UI Updates.
This is an incremental release, introducing a couple of new features.
Updates
Dependency-Check feedback in the UI
Dependency calculations now get its own step, the dependency checks are mostly fast, but if you have 1000's of items to check it can take a while, and previously this step offered not UI feedback, so you might think it was stuck. Now the dependency checks get their own step (and icon) so you can see them happening.
Publisher Dashboard
day-to-day you can sync everything you might need to via the content pull/push buttons - but there might also be times when you want to push or pull just the settings. the publisher dashboard gives you this functionality,
One side effect of this dashboard is you can now push languages and hostnames between sites too (doing it during content pushes runs the risk of breaking if you have these values different on dev/live)
Publish Dialog (Experimental)
Like all good packages we've hacked into the save & publish button, so now you can publish to a server directly from the button.
Turning on the experimental publish dialog
This button doesn't replace the existing push and pull commands, and while we are in experimental release, you have to turn it on by hand, go to the user group settings and enable. Push Content Button (Experimental)
uSync 8.4.0 goodness
This release also increments its uSync dependencies to uSync 8.4.0 which has some work done to speed things up, and fix a couple of bugs - so you to get the wonderfulness of uSync baked into this release.
