New
Command Line Client: Command line checkin progress has been improved and now a proper ASCII progress bar is displayed.
New
Checkin operation: The number of concurrent readers used on the checkin operation can be configured using the 'UploadReadPoolSize' setting in the client.conf file. By default a single reader is used. For example: to use 5 readers, add the following entry in the client.conf file:
<UploadReadPoolSize>5</UploadReadPoolSize>
Using multiple readers on SSD disks improves the upload phase performance significantly.
