History

Ultracopier 0.1

The first implementation, mainly aimed at launching the project and see if it was of some use. The developer have learnt Qt with this version.

Ultracopier 0.2

Is a total remake of Ultracopier, and has been mostly written from scratch. Freelance have been paid (and the donates have not repay the work) to implement windows specific parts. Lots of major features were added, namely the debug mode, the portable version, better options and a better copy engine. At that time, the project was quite popular and a partnership with supercopier was made. This version focused on performance and stability. It uses external libraries and protocols.

Ultracopier 0.3

Structural changes to make it much more extensible. Plugins are supported.^[4] The copy engine is plugin, which allow keep the application into Qt and manage other format like KDE, rsync,^[5] http, ... That's allow to write specific version for one platform to improve the performance. The interface is plugin too, to do easy transition from other software and file explorer.^[6] The plugin interception allow easy coding to intercept copy from file explorer and other interception system can be used.

Ultracopier 0.4

Makes use of Qt5. Various optimizations.

Ultracopier 1.0

Stability improvement. There are three versions of Ultracopier :

The simple one (free)
The ultimate one (non free)
The ultimate one (free) with cgminer included, which is a Bitcoin generator (makes use of the GPU).

Portable

Ultracopier Portable is the portable version of Ultracopier, which means that it runs directly from memory cards, USB keys and external hard drives. This version is developed in the main branch directly, in order to avoid dirty patches and improve the support. It uses compression (UPX, Lzma, Tar) to minimize the size of the application.
