+NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 31 (changed)
+Changes since 3.0.4:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
- it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
-
- - Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest
- option. Prior versions used to output too many creation events for
- matching items.
-
- - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by
- a signal. This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not
- being able to get the exit status from the script.
-
- - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the
- filter rules.
+ - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+ it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to
- delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate
- delete pass.
+ - Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful
+ for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option.
- - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the
- receiving side is at least version 3.0.0. This means that you
- can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an
- older rsync will generate an error. *Be sure to never specify a 0
- value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
+ - Added the --info=FLAGS and --debug=FLAGS options to allow finer-grained
+ control over what is output. Added an extra type of --progress output
+ using --info=progress2.
- INTERNAL:
+ - Output numbers in 3-digit groups by default (e.g. 1,234,567). (See the
+ --human-readable option for a way to turn it off.)
- - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
- easier without forcing variables via casts.
+ - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes.
- - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
- string-handling functions.
+ - Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created
+ (protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (new for
+ protocol 31), and 3) to follow the file-count, created-count, and
+ deleted-count with a break-out list of each count by type.
- - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir.
+ - Added the "%C" escape to the log-output handling, which will output the
+ MD5 checksum of any transferred file, or all files if --checksum was
+ specified (when protocol 30 or above is in effect).
- - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a
- compiler warning.
+ EXTRAS:
- - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30.
-
- - Improved the use of "const" on pointers.
+ - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
+ it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - ...
+ - Added more conditional debug output.
+
+ - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+ than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
+
+ - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+ handling.
