2Protocol: 31 (changed)
3Changes since 3.0.4:
4
5 BUG FIXES:
6
7 - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
8 it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
9
10 ENHANCEMENTS:
11
12 - Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful
13 for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option.
14
15 - Added the --info=FLAGS and --debug=FLAGS options to allow finer-grained
16 control over what is output. Added an extra type of --progress output
17 using --info=progress2.
18
19 - Output numbers in 3-digit groups by default (e.g. 1,234,567). (See the
20 --human-readable option for a way to turn it off.)
21
22 - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes.
23
24 - Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created
25 (protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (new for
26 protocol 31), and 3) to follow the file-count, created-count, and
27 deleted-count with a break-out list of each count by type.
28
29 - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file
30 ownership during the copy.
31
32 - Added the "%C" escape to the log-output handling, which will output the
33 MD5 checksum of any transferred file, or all files if --checksum was
34 specified (when protocol 30 or above is in effect).
35
36 - Added the "reverse lookup" parameter to the rsync daemon config file to
37 allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled.
38
39 EXTRAS:
40
41 - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
42 it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
43
44 - Added the "mapfrom" and "mapto" scripts to the support directory, which
45 makes it easier to do user/group mapping in a local transfer based on
46 passwd/group files from another machine.
47
48 DEVELOPER RELATED:
49
50 - Added more conditional debug output.
51
52 - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
53 than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
54
55 - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
56 handling.
57
58 - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code.
