  • v2.4.9 January 28, 2014

    • Fixed "me" is undefined errors (regression since v2.4.7)

  • v2.4.8 December 30, 2013

    • You can now pass falsey values forcatchupDelay to disable it

  • v2.4.7 December 19, 2013

  • v2.4.6 November 18, 2013

    • Updated dependencies

  • v2.4.5 November 17, 2013

    • Updated dependencies

  • v2.4.4 October 10, 2013

    • Added the ability to turn off following links by setting followLinks to false
    • Prefer accuracy over speed
      • Use the watch method by default, but don't trust it at all, always double check everything

  • v2.4.3 April 10, 2013

    • More work on swap file handling

  • v2.4.2 April 10, 2013

    • File copies will now trigger events throughout the copy rather than just at the start of the copy

  • v2.4.1 April 10, 2013

    • Fixed bubblr events
    • Fixed swap file detection

  • v2.4.0 April 5, 2013

    • Updated dependencies

  • v2.3.10 April 1, 2013

    • Updated dependencies

  • v2.3.9 March 17, 2013

    • Made it so if duplicateDelay is falsey we will not do a duplicate check

  • v2.3.8 March 17, 2013

  • v2.3.7 February 6, 2013

    • Changed the preferredMethod option into preferredMethods which accepts an array, defaults to ['watch','watchFile']
    • If the watch action fails at the eve level we will try again with the preferredMethods reversed
      • This solves issue #31 where watching of large files would fail
    • Changed the interval option to default to 5007 (recommended by node) instead of 100 as it was before
      • The watch method provides us with immediate notification of changes without utilising polling, however the watch method fails for large amounts of files, in which case we will fall back to the watchFile method that will use this option, if the option is too small we will be constantly polling the large amount of files for changes using up all the CPU and memory, hence the change into a larger increment which has no CPU and memory impact.

  • v2.3.6 February 6, 2013

    • Fixed fallback when preferredMethod is watchFile

  • v2.3.5 February 6, 2013

    • Fixed uncaught exceptions when intialising watchers under certain circumstances

  • v2.3.4 February 5, 2013

    • Better handling and detection of failed watching operations
    • Better handling of duplicated events
    • Watching is now an atomic operation
      • If watching fails for a descendant, we will close everything related to that watch operation of the eve
    • We now prefer the watch method over the watchFile method
      • This offers great reliability and way less CPU and memory foot print
      • If you still wish to prefer watchFile, then set the new configuration option preferredMethod to watchFile
    • Closes issue #30 thanks to Howard Tyson

  • v2.3.3 January 8, 2013

  • v2.3.2 January 6, 2013

  • v2.3.1 December 19, 2012

  • v2.3.0 December 17, 2012

    • This is a backwards compatiblity break, however updating is easy, read the notes below.
    • We've updated the events we emit to be:
      • log for debugging, receives the arguments logLevel ,args...
      • watching for when watching of the path has completed, receives the arguments err, isWatching
      • change for listening to change events, receives the arguments changeType, fullPath, currentStat, previousStat
      • error for gracefully listening to error events, receives the arguments err
      • read the README to learn how to bind to these new events
    • The changeType argument for change listeners has been changed for better clarity and consitency:
      • change is now update
      • new is now create
      • unlink is now delete
    • We've updated the return arguments for require('watchr').watch for better consitency:
      • if you send the paths option, you will receive the arguments err, results where results is an array of watcher instances
      • if you send the path option, you receive the arguments err, watcherInstance
