2955529b | 1 | NEWS for rsync 3.0.0 (UNRELEASED) |
2dc3db2a | 2 | Protocol: 30 (changed) |
2955529b | 3 | Changes since 2.6.9: |

5 | BUG FIXES: |
6 | ||
3a72cc29 WD |
7 | - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options: |
8 | it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones. | |
9 | ||
10 | - Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest | |
11 | option. Prior versions used to output too many creation events for | |
12 | matching items. | |
b4f02871 | 13 | |
3481bdf4 WD |
14 | - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by |
15 | a signal. This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not | |
16 | being able to get the exit status from the script. | |
17 | ||
d0d0e41f WD |
18 | - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the |
19 | filter rules. | |
20 | ||
889ae39d WD |
21 | - Fixed a problem with the --out-format (aka --log-format) option: it |
22 | would output superfluous directory information for a non-daemon rsync. | |
23 | ||
8b584075 WD |
24 | - Fixed a problem with -vv (double --verbose) and --stats when "pushing" |
25 | files (which includes local copies). Version 2.6.9 would complete the | |
26 | copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats. | |
27 | ||
99effefc WD |
28 | - If --password-file is used on a non-daemon transfer, rsync now complains |
29 | and exits. This should help users figure out that they can't use this | |
30 | option to control a remote shell's password prompt. | |

32 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
33 | ||
012d1a01 WD |
34 | - A new incremental-recursion algorithm is now used when rsync is talking |
35 | to another 3.0.0 version. This starts the transfer going more quickly | |
36 | (before all the files have been found), and requires much less memory. | |
37 | See the --recursive option in the manpage for some restrictions. | |
38 | ||
39 | - The default --delete algorithm is now --delete-during when talking to a | |
40 | 3.x rsync. This is a faster scan than using --delete-before (which is | |
41 | the default when talking to older rsync versions), and is compatible | |
42 | with the new incremental recursion mode. | |
43 | ||
c7871d98 WD |
44 | - Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to |
45 | delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate | |
46 | delete pass. | |
47 | ||
2dc3db2a WD |
48 | - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the |
49 | receiving side is at least version 3.0.0. This means that you | |
50 | can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an | |
c7871d98 WD |
51 | older rsync will generate an error. *Be sure to never specify a 0 |
52 | value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.* | |
8adc22e3 | 53 | |
3a5a7de6 WD |
54 | - The --hard-link option now uses less memory on both the sending and |
55 | receiving side for all protocol versions. For protocol 30, the use | |
56 | of a hashtable on the sending side allows us to more efficiently | |
57 | convey to the receiver what files are linked together. This reduces | |
051ad696 WD |
58 | the amount of data sent over the socket by a considerable margin |
59 | (rather than adding more data), and limits the in-memory storage of | |
60 | the device+inode information to just the sending side for the new | |
61 | protocol 30, or to the receiving side when speaking an older protocol | |
62 | (note that older rsync versions kept the device+inode information on | |
63 | both sides). | |

65 | INTERNAL: |
66 | ||
4d2ea5a8 WD |
67 | - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters |
68 | easier without forcing variables via casts. | |
69 | ||
3a72cc29 WD |
70 | - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of |
71 | string-handling functions. | |
418da6d9 | 72 | |
d0d0e41f WD |
73 | - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir. |
74 | ||
c7871d98 WD |
75 | - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a |
76 | compiler warning. | |
77 | ||
78 | - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30. | |
d0d0e41f WD |
79 | |
80 | - Improved the use of "const" on pointers. | |
