Release Date: 5\/12\/2015
\nVersion 4.0.2<\/p>\n

Backblaze version 4.0.2 is out today! The latest Backblaze version is also becoming the minimum version of Backblaze that you can use. As part of this, a dialog has been added to the installer to protect against older installers being launched (they will now direct you to download the latest Backblaze version, 4.0.2 or higher).<\/p>\n

Additionally, we have optimized large file retransmission, especially in cases where a user would have a slower internet connection. This should occur less often.<\/p>\n

Finally, in the Mac OS X 10.10.4 beta release, the Locate My Computer<\/a> feature was causing an issue that would use a lot of RAM. This was caused by Apple changing one of the paths that we used to calculate location, resulting in a loop. This has since been fixed and users running Mac OS X 10.10.4 and Backblaze 4.0.2 should no longer be experiencing RAM usage spikes.<\/p>\n

Auto-updates will begin rolling out over the next few days. If you\u2019d like the latest version now, please see below for instructions.<\/p>\n
