This has been posted a few times in the past month and a half. What's new in the latest version? Also, how does this compare to Transmit?

Slow and steady with the addition of features over the last few months (http://bonhardcomputing.com/category/news/) and how does it compare to Transmit!? Transmit is an FTP app; Truck uses rsync-over-SSH.

Don't get me wrong; I like Transmit, I've used it a lot. But it doesn't do rsync over SSH.

Curious why you choose Python? Is core logic implemented in Python? Was it hard to setup process for building and packaging app ? Any plans to release in Mac App Store? Ty.

I find Python to be one of the least worst languages. It took some difficult weeks to figure out how to build and package, although, to that end, PyQtDeploy came along at just the right time. It's already in the Mac App Store.

Incidentally, as a throwaway comment, FTP is from the 70's and rsync is from the 90's. I think about that sometimes.
