   Carbon Copy Cloner 5.0.8

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Bombich Software issued [1]Carbon Copy Cloner 5.0.6 (CCC) in late
   January with improvements to the postflight option that unmounts the
   destination volume and to the efficiency of copying sparse files on
   APFS volumes. The drive-cloning and backup app also fixed a timing
   issue that occurred when a scheduled task with an hourly run time limit
   starts a couple seconds early, improved the remote Macintosh option to
   better handle IPv6 addresses, and revoked notifications prompting you
   to reattach a missing source or destination when the task starts to run
   (after reattachment).

   In early February, Carbon Copy Cloner was updated to version 5.0.8 to
   fix a bug introduced in version 5.0.6 where encoding of a network
   volume whose username or hostname contained special characters led to
   errors mounting the affected network volume. ($39.99 new, paid upgrade
   from CCC 3.5 and CCC 4, free update, 13.6 MB, [2]release notes, 10.10+)
