I have just installed Sparkleshare 0.6 for Mac. I had been using 0.2.6 successfully for several months. After upgrade, I found that the private server that I had been using to host my repository started blocking logins. This is almost certainly due to a change in the SSH key that was being used. Now, I have ssh keys in both my $HOME/.config/sparkleshare folder and in the $HOME/SparkleShare folder. I have a feeling that the upgrade process generated a new key which caused successive failed login attempts and a blocked account. As far as I can tell, there is no documentation of the upgrade process and my experience seems like a nasty side effect.
