93f3fbf7 | 1 | NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED) |
8b3e6052 | 2 | Protocol: 31 (changed) |
56fc9f70 | 3 | Changes since 3.0.4: |
469ff84e | 4 | |
8d10cbfc WD |
5 | OUTPUT CHANGES: |
6 | ||
7 | - Output numbers in 3-digit groups by default (e.g. 1,234,567). See the | |
8 | --human-readable option for a way to turn it off. See also the daemon's | |
9 | "log format" parameter and related command-line options (including | |
10 | --out-format) for a modifier that can be used to request digit-grouping | |
11 | or human-readable output in log escapes. (Note that log output is | |
12 | unchanged by default.) | |
13 | ||
14 | - The output of the --progress option has changed: the string "xfer" was | |
15 | shortened to "xfr", and the string "to-check" was shortened to "to-chk", | |
16 | both designed to make room for the (by default) wider display of file | |
17 | size numbers without making the total line-length longer. Also, when | |
18 | incremental recursion is enabled, the string "ir-chk" will be used | |
19 | instead of "to-chk" up until the incremental-recursion scan is done, | |
20 | letting you know that the value to check and the total value will still | |
21 | be increasing as new files are found. | |

23 | BUG FIXES: |
24 | ||
bb4e4d88 WD |
25 | - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make |
26 | it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error. | |
20bb1eb7 | 27 | |
181c9faf WD |
28 | - An absolute-path filter rule (i.e. with a '/' modifier) no longer loses |
29 | its modifier when sending the filter rules to the remote rsync. | |

31 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
32 | ||
7a2eca41 WD |
33 | - Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful |
34 | for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option. | |
85fd80ce | 35 | |
951e826b WD |
36 | - Added the --info=FLAGS and --debug=FLAGS options to allow finer-grained |
37 | control over what is output. Added an extra type of --progress output | |
38 | using --info=progress2. | |
39 | ||
181c9faf WD |
40 | - Added the --delete-missing-args and --ignore-missing-args options to |
41 | either delete or ignore user-specified files on the receiver that are | |
42 | missing on the sender (normally the absence of user-specified files | |
43 | generates an error). | |
ce66f417 | 44 | |
e366e530 WD |
45 | - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes. |
46 | ||
47 | - Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created | |
48 | (protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (new for | |
49 | protocol 31), and 3) to follow the file-count, created-count, and | |
50 | deleted-count with a break-out list of each count by type. | |
51 | ||
2df20057 WD |
52 | - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file |
53 | ownership during the copy. | |
54 | ||
886df221 WD |
55 | - Added the "%C" escape to the log-output handling, which will output the |
56 | MD5 checksum of any transferred file, or all files if --checksum was | |
57 | specified (when protocol 30 or above is in effect). | |
58 | ||
11ef77b7 MM |
59 | - Added the "reverse lookup" parameter to the rsync daemon config file to |
60 | allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled. | |
61 | ||
7f367bb1 WD |
62 | - Added a way for supplementary groups to be specified in the rsyncd.conf |
63 | file. Also made explicitly-set uid/gid values no longer ignored by a | |
64 | daemon that was not run by a super-user. | |
65 | ||
794d0339 WD |
66 | EXTRAS: |
67 | ||
68 | - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes | |
69 | it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory. | |
70 | ||
8b7a7520 WD |
71 | - Added the "mapfrom" and "mapto" scripts to the support directory, which |
72 | makes it easier to do user/group mapping in a local transfer based on | |
73 | passwd/group files from another machine. | |
74 | ||
7c329ec7 WD |
75 | DEVELOPER RELATED: |
76 | ||
181c9faf WD |
77 | - The filter code received some refactoring to make it more extendable, to |
78 | read better, and do better sanity checking. | |
79 | ||
886df221 WD |
80 | - Added more conditional debug output. |
81 | ||
82 | - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather | |
83 | than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion. | |
84 | ||
85 | - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment | |
86 | handling. | |
09ca0d15 WD |
87 | |
88 | - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code. |
