   CloudPull 2.16 and 2.1.7

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   With [1]CloudPull 2.1.6, Golden Hill Software updated its Google-data
   backup application to reflect changes in how Google exports documents
   and spreadsheets. Specifically, the new release ensures that filename
   extensions and formats reflect changes Google has made to documents
   (switching from the .doc format to .docx) and spreadsheets (changing
   from .xls to .xlsx). After installation, CloudPull will download
   current versions of spreadsheets and documents as new versions.
   (Presentation files also get updated, even though Google has not
   changed the file extension from its current .ppt. Golden Hill notes
   that CloudPull will be ready for a switch to .pptx should Google make
   that change.) Additionally, CloudPull now updates its record of special
   mail folders to reflect changes in account language between backup
   iterations.

   Shortly after version 2.1.6 was released, Golden Hill issued version
   2.1.7 to fix a bug that crashed the app after selecting a Google Drive
   folder that contained at least one subfolder from the left navigation
   pane. ($9.99 through 31 December 2012 via direct download or via the
   [2]Mac App Store, free update, 8.4 MB, [3]release notes)
