93f3fbf7 | 1 | NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED) |
8b3e6052 | 2 | Protocol: 31 (changed) |
56fc9f70 | 3 | Changes since 3.0.4: |
469ff84e | 4 | |

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 | |
d8c55a6e WD |
12 | unchanged by default.) |
13 | ||
14 | - The --list-only option is now affected by the --human-readable setting. | |
15 | It will display digit groupings by default, and unit suffixes if higher | |
16 | levels of readability are requested. Also, the column width for the size | |
17 | output has increased from 11 to 14 characters when human readability is | |
18 | enabled. Use --no-h to get the old-style output and column size. | |
8d10cbfc WD |
19 | |
20 | - The output of the --progress option has changed: the string "xfer" was | |
21 | shortened to "xfr", and the string "to-check" was shortened to "to-chk", | |
22 | both designed to make room for the (by default) wider display of file | |
23 | size numbers without making the total line-length longer. Also, when | |
24 | incremental recursion is enabled, the string "ir-chk" will be used | |
25 | instead of "to-chk" up until the incremental-recursion scan is done, | |
26 | letting you know that the value to check and the total value will still | |
27 | be increasing as new files are found. | |
28 | ||
281a141e | 29 | - Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created |
d8c55a6e WD |
30 | (protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (a new line |
31 | for protocol 31, but only output when --delete is in effect), and 3) to | |
281a141e | 32 | follow the file-count, created-count, and deleted-count with a subcount |
d8c55a6e WD |
33 | list that shows the counts by type. The wording of the transferred count |
34 | has also changed so that it is clearer that it is only a count of regular | |
35 | files. | |

37 | BUG FIXES: |
38 | ||
bb4e4d88 WD |
39 | - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make |
40 | it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error. | |
20bb1eb7 | 41 | |
281a141e WD |
42 | - Fixed some rare bugs in --iconv processing that might cause a multibyte |
43 | character to get translated incorrectly. | |
44 | ||
2b2a4738 WD |
45 | - Improved the propagation of abnormal-exit error messages. This should |
46 | help the client side to receive errors from the server when it is exiting | |
47 | abnormally, and should also avoid dying with an "connection unexpectedly | |
48 | closed" exit when the closed connection is really expected. | |

50 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
51 | ||
7a2eca41 WD |
52 | - Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful |
53 | for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option. | |
85fd80ce | 54 | |
951e826b WD |
55 | - Added the --info=FLAGS and --debug=FLAGS options to allow finer-grained |
56 | control over what is output. Added an extra type of --progress output | |
57 | using --info=progress2. | |
58 | ||
281a141e WD |
59 | - The --msgs2stderr option can help with debugging rsync by allowing the |
60 | debug messages to get output to stderr rather than travel via the socket | |
61 | protocol. | |
62 | ||
181c9faf WD |
63 | - Added the --delete-missing-args and --ignore-missing-args options to |
64 | either delete or ignore user-specified files on the receiver that are | |
65 | missing on the sender (normally the absence of user-specified files | |
66 | generates an error). | |
ce66f417 | 67 | |
e366e530 WD |
68 | - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes. |
69 | ||
2df20057 WD |
70 | - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file |
71 | ownership during the copy. | |
72 | ||
886df221 WD |
73 | - Added the "%C" escape to the log-output handling, which will output the |
74 | MD5 checksum of any transferred file, or all files if --checksum was | |
75 | specified (when protocol 30 or above is in effect). | |
76 | ||
11ef77b7 MM |
77 | - Added the "reverse lookup" parameter to the rsync daemon config file to |
78 | allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled. | |
79 | ||
281a141e WD |
80 | - Added a way for more than one group to be specified in the daemon's |
81 | config file, including a way to specify that you want all of the | |
82 | specified user's groups without having to name them. Also changed the | |
83 | daemon to complain about an inability to set explicitly-specified uid/gid | |
84 | values, even when not run by a super-user. | |
85 | ||
86 | - Added a way to reference environment variables in a daemon's config file | |
87 | (using %VAR% references). | |
7f367bb1 | 88 | |
c55fb5e1 WD |
89 | - When replacing a non-dir with a symlink/hard-link/device/special-file, |
90 | the update should now be done in an atomic manner. | |
91 | ||
281a141e WD |
92 | - Fixed a free of the wrong pointer in uncache_tmp_xattrs() (which only |
93 | sometimes affects an --xattr transfer when --backup is used). | |
94 | ||
c55fb5e1 WD |
95 | - When backing up a file, try to hard-link the file into place so that the |
96 | upcoming replacement of the destination file will be atomic. | |
97 | ||
281a141e WD |
98 | - Added the ability to synchronize nano-second modified times. |
99 | ||
100 | - Added a few more default suffixes for the "dont compress" settings. | |
101 | ||
2b2a4738 WD |
102 | - Added the checking of the RSYNC_PROTECT_ARGS environment variable to allow |
103 | the default for the --protect-args command-line option to be overridden. | |
104 | ||
281a141e WD |
105 | - Added some Solaris xattr code. |
106 | ||
794d0339 WD |
107 | EXTRAS: |
108 | ||
109 | - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes | |
110 | it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory. | |
111 | ||
8b7a7520 WD |
112 | - Added the "mapfrom" and "mapto" scripts to the support directory, which |
113 | makes it easier to do user/group mapping in a local transfer based on | |
114 | passwd/group files from another machine. | |
115 | ||
281a141e WD |
116 | INTERNAL: |
117 | ||
118 | - The I/O code was rewritten to be simpler and do bigger buffered reads | |
119 | over the socket. The I/O between the receiver and the generator was | |
120 | changed to be standard multiplexed-I/O (like that over the socket). | |
121 | ||
122 | - The sender tries to use any dead time while the generator is looking for | |
123 | files to transfer in order to do sender-side directory scanning in a more | |
124 | parallel manner. | |
125 | ||
126 | - A daemon can now inform a client about a daemon-configured timeout value | |
127 | so that the client can assist in the keep-alive activity (protocol 31). | |
7c329ec7 | 128 | |
181c9faf WD |
129 | - The filter code received some refactoring to make it more extendable, to |
130 | read better, and do better sanity checking. | |
131 | ||
886df221 WD |
132 | - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather |
133 | than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion. | |
134 | ||
135 | - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment | |
136 | handling. | |
09ca0d15 WD |
137 | |
138 | - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code. | |
281a141e WD |
139 | |
140 | DEVELOPER RELATED: | |
141 | ||
142 | - Added more conditional debug output. | |
1c9eafdd WD |
143 | |
144 | - Changed configure.in to configure.ac. |
